Finite Volume Effects in Thermal Field Theory
We analyze the effect of a finite volume on the thermodynamic potentials of a relativistic quantum field theory defined on a hypertorus at vanishing chemical potential. Using the symmetries of the Euclidean partition function, we interpret the thermodynamic observables as the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in the same theory living on a β×L2 volume. In the case where the screen...

متن کاملFinite size effects on thermal denaturation of globular proteins.
Finite size effects on the cooperative thermal denaturation of proteins are considered. A dimensionless measure of cooperativity, Omegac, scales as Nzeta, where N is the number of amino acids. Surprisingly, we find that zeta is universal with zeta=1+gamma, where the exponent gamma characterizes the divergence of the susceptibility for a self-avoiding walk. Our lattice model simulations and expe...
متن کاملThermal Field Theory in Equilibrium
Thermal field theory has applications in many areas of physics and one of those is the early Universe. There is an excess of matter over antimatter in the present Universe. Unless this was an initial condition in the Big Bang Scenario, this baryon asymmetry must have been created during the evolution of the Universe. According to Sakarov’s three criteria for baryogenesis, the Universe must have...
متن کاملNonperturbative effects in equilibrium finite-temperature scalar field theory.
The effects of nonperturbative configurations at finite temperature are investigated for a real scalar field theory that exhibits a spontaneous symmetry breaking at zero temperature. In l+l dimensions we find a zero temperature phase transition due to kink-antikink pairs. In 3+1 dimensions we calculate the contribution of bubbles that have an interior region of different vacuum in the equilibri...
