Dimensional reduction and quantum-to-classical reduction at high temperatures.
We discuss the relation between dimensional reduction in quantum field theories at finite temperature and a familiar quantummechanical phenomenon that quantum effects become negligible at high temperatures. Fermi and Bose fields are compared in this respect. We show that decoupling of fermions from the dimensionally reduced theory can be related to the non-existence of classical statistics for ...
متن کاملLimitations to Dimensional Reduction at High Temperature
The claim that renormalizable four-dimensional field theories in the infinite-temperature limit undergo a reduction to effective three-dimensional ones is analyzed in perturbation theory. An essential ingredient is the finite-temperature renormalization group in the imagina~'-time formalism. A precise criterion for the occurrence of complete dimensional reduction is given. This is satisfied onl...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction at High Temperature for Fermions
The concept of dimensional reduction in the high temperature regime is generalized to static Green’s functions of composite operators that contain fermionic fields. The recognition of a natural kinematic region where the lowest Matsubara modes are close to their mass-shell, and the ultraviolet behavior of the running coupling constant of the original theory are crucial for providing the necessa...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction at High Temperature Revisited
We give a perturbative analysis of dimensional reduction in the infinite-temperature limit of thermal field theory in the imaginary time formalism. In analogy with the ordinary (Appelquist-Carazzone) decoupling theorem, we seek a class of renormaliza-tion schemes in which the heavy (non-static) modes decouple. This class turns out to consist of temperature-dependent schemes, so that the appropr...
متن کاملReduction Procedures in Classical and Quantum Mechanics
We present, in a pedagogical style, many instances of reduction procedures appearing in a variety of physical situations, both classical and quantum. We concentrate on the essential aspects of any reduction procedure, both in the algebraic and geometrical setting, elucidating the analogies and the differences between the classical and the quantum situations.
