نویسنده
چکیده
The finite-temperature renormalization group is formulated via the Wilson-Kadanoff blocking transformation. Momentum modes and the Matsubara frequencies are coupled by constraints from a smearing function which plays the role of an infrared cutoff regulator. Using the scalar λφ theory as an example, we consider four general types of smearing functions and show that, to zeroth-order in the derivative expansion, they yield qualitatively the same temperature dependence of the running constants and the same critical exponents within numerical accuracy.

We study the 0+1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory at finite temperature within the framework of derivative expansion. We obtain various interesting relations, solve the theory within this framework and argue that the derivative expansion is not a suitable formalism for a study of the question of large gauge invariance.

This paper proposes a variational principle for the solutions of quantum field theories in which the " trial functions " are chosen from the algebra of asymptotic fields, and illustrates this variational principle in simple cases.

Blocking transformation is performed in quantum field theory at finite temperature. It is found that the manner temperature deforms the renormalized trajectories can be used to understand better the role played by the quantum fluctuations. In particular, it is conjectured that domain formation and mass parameter generation can be observed in theories without spontaneous symmetry breaking. CTP#2...
