Thermal 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 کاملThermodynamic Properties of Non-Equilibrium States in Quantum Field Theory
Within the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, a novel method is established which allows to distinguish non-equilibrium states admitting locally a thermodynamic interpretation. The basic idea is to compare these states with global equilibrium states (KMS states) by means of local thermal observables. With the help of such observables, the states can be ordered into classes of incre...
متن کاملThermal photon production rate from non-equilibrium quantum field theory
In the framework of closed time path thermal field theory we investigate the production rate of hard thermal photons from a QCD plasma away from equilibrium. Dynamical screening provides a finite rate for chemically non-equilibrated distributions of quarks and gluons just as it does in the equilibrium situation. Pinch singularities are shown to be absent in the real photon rate even away from e...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Non-equilibrium Quantum Field Theory
We first focus in Chapter 2 on infrared effects in finite–temperature quantum field theory. We propose a simple mathematical method (based on the largest–time equation and the Dyson–Schwinger equations) which allows systematic calculations of the change of density in energy/particles in heat–bath during a scattering/decay of external particles within the heat bath. A careful analysis reveals th...
متن کاملQuantum non-equilibrium effects in rigidly-rotating thermal states
Based on known analytic results, the thermal expectation value of the stress-energy tensor (SET) operator for the massless Dirac field is analyzed from a hydrodynamic perspective. Key to this analysis is the Landau decomposition of the SET, with the aid of which we find terms which are not present in the ideal SET predicted by kinetic theory. Moreover, the quantum corrections become dominant in...
