Two-Loop Self-Energy and Multiple Scattering at Finite Temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
One and two loop self-energies are worked out explicitly for a heavy scalar field interacting weakly with a light self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature. The ring/daisy diagrams and a set of necklace diagrams can be summed simultaneously. This simple model serves to illustrate the connection between multi-loop self-energy diagrams and multiple scattering in a medium. PACS numbers: 11.10.Wx, 11.80.La

Multiple Scattering Expansion of the Self-Energy at Finite Temperature
An often used rule that the thermal correction to the self-energy is the thermal phase-space times the forward scattering amplitude from target particles is shown to be the leading term in an exact multiple scattering expansion. Starting from imaginary-time finite-temperature field theory, a rigorous expansion for the retarded self-energy is derived. The relationship to the thermodynamic potent...
متن کاملBehavior of logarithmic branch cuts in the self-energy of gluons at finite temperature
There have been many studies of thermal Green functions in gauge field theories [1–7], which show that their behavior at finite temperature is rather different from the one at zero temperature. In particular, it was recently pointed out by Weldon [8] that in QED, the logarithmic branch cut singularities cancel to one loop-order, in the thermal self-energy of the electron. The purpose of this no...
متن کاملRetarded thermal Greens functions and forward scattering amplitudes at two loops
In this paper, we extend our earlier one loop analysis to two loops and give a simple diagrammatic description for the retarded Greens functions at finite temperature, in terms of forward scattering amplitudes of on-shell thermal particles. We present a simple discussion, which can be easily generalized to any field theory, of the temperature dependent parts of the retarded two and three point ...
متن کاملGluon scattering in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills at finite temperature
We extend the AdS/CFT prescription of Alday and Maldacena to finite temperature T , defining an amplitude for gluon scattering in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills at strong coupling from string theory. It is defined by a lightlike ”Wilson loop” living at the horizon of the T-dual to the black hole in AdS space. Unlike the zero temperature case, this is different from the Wilson loop contour defined at th...
متن کاملAnalytic structure of the self-energy for massive gauge bosons at finite temperature.
We show that the one-loop self-energy at finite temperature has a unique limit as the external momentum pμ → 0 if the loop involves propagators with distinct masses. This naturally arises in theories involving particles with different masses as is demonstrated for a toy model of two scalars as well as in a U(1) Higgs theory. We show that, in spontaneously broken gauge theories, this observation...
