0 KMS conditions for 4 - point Green functions at finite temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the 4-point function in the Keldysh formalism of the closed time path formulation of real time finite temperature field theory. We derive the KMS conditions for these functions and discuss the number of 4-point functions that are independent. We define a set of ‘physical’ functions which are linear combinations of the usual Keldysh functions. We show that these functions satisfy simple KMS conditions. In addition, we consider a set of integral equations which represent a resummation of ladder graphs. We show that these integral equations decouple when one uses the physical functions that we have defined. We discuss the generalization of these results to QED. Typeset using REVTEX 1

1 PI Green functions in the world - line formalism
We demonstrate, at the one-loop level, how the theory-independent part of proper N-point Green functions at finite temperature and chemical potential can be formulated in the world-line formalism, where φ 3 theory, photon scattering, effective potential in a constant magnetic field, π 0 → 2γ decay are all described in a unified way. We then derive various useful formulae and check their consist...
متن کاملFinite-temperature Supersymmetry as a Constrained Supergravity
Immersing a physical system in a heat bath results in the fields acquiring different properties according to their statistics. E.g., finite-temperature bosonic fields obey periodic boundary conditions, while fermionic fields satisfy antiperiodic b.c.’s. Such a distinction can be seen also at the level of the Green’s functions. Depending on the field’s statistics, thermal propagators obey either...
متن کاملVector Meson Dominance, Axial Anomaly and the Thermal behavior of gρωπ(T)
By using a thermal Finite Energy QCD Sum Rule, we are able to establish the temperature dependence of the gωρπ(T) strong coupling. It turns out that this coupling decreases as a function of temperature, vanishing at the critical temperature. This corresponds to a possible deconfining phenomenological signal. This result, together with the Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) expression for the amplitud...
متن کاملNew Method for Exact Calculation of Green Functions in Scalar Field Theory
We present a new method for calculating the Green functions for a lattice scalar field theory in D dimensions with arbitrary potential V (φ). The method for non-perturbative evaluation of Green functions for D=1 is generalized to higher dimensions. We define “hole functions” A (i = 0, 1, 2, · · · , N−1) from which one can construct N -point Green functions. We derive characteristic equations of...
متن کاملN-point Functions in Imaginary-and Real-time Finite-temperature Formalisms
It is proved that calculations of three-point diagrams using the Real-Time Formalism of nite temperature eld theory produce the time-ordered Green functions while the Imaginary-Time Formalism calculate retarded and advanced Green functions. A non-trivial relation between these Green functions is found. Similarly, a spectral representation for the real-time three-point function is found. The hig...
