Thermal Effects in Low-Temperature QED
نویسنده
چکیده
QED is studied at low temperature (T ≪ m, where m is the electron mass) and zero chemical potential. By integrating out the electron field and the nonzero bosonic Matsubara modes, we construct an effective three-dimensional field theory that is valid at distances R ≫ 1/T . As applications, we reproduce the ring-improved free energy and calculate the Debye mass to order e.

QED second order corrections on the speed of light at low temperature
We want to study thermal corrections on the speed of light at low temperature considering temperature dependence of photon vacuum polarization tensor at two-loop level in the standard QED. It is found that the heat bath behaves as a dispersive medium for the propagation of light and reduces its speed proportional to the second order of temperature. Similarities and differences, in light ...
متن کاملMass-Shell Behavior of Electron Propagator at Low Temperature
In high temperature gauge theories the fermion propagator is quite di erent than at zero temperature [1] and calculations require the Braaten-Pisarski resummation of hard thermal loops [2{4]. One of the important quantities to be calculated is the imaginary part of the fermion selfenergy, or damping rate, which has been computed in various circumstances. In QCD the massless gluons are so change...

In the present work we investigate temperature effects on the spinor and scalar effective QED, in the context of Thermo Field Dynamics. Following Weisskopf's zero-point energy method, the problem of charge renormalization is reexamined and high temperature contributions are extracted from the thermal correction for the Lagrangian densities.

متن کاملRenormalisation of the Nonperturbative Thermal Pressure
We show how the fully resummed thermal pressure is rendered ultraviolet finite by standard zero-temperature renormalisation. The analysis is developed in a 6-dimensional scalar model that mimics QED and has N flavours. The N → ∞ limit of the model can be calculated completely. At a critical temperature, one of the degrees of freedom has vanishing screening mass like the transverse gauge bosons ...
