Axiomatic Analyticity Properties and Representations of Particles in Thermal Quantum Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide an axiomatic framework for Quantum Field Theory at finite temperature which implies the existence of general analyticity properties of the n-point functions; the latter parallel the properties derived from the usual Wightman axioms in the vacuum representation of Quantum Field Theory. Complete results are given for the propagators, including a generalization of the Källén-Lehmann representation. Some known examples of “hard-thermal-loop calculations” and the representation of “quasiparticles” are discussed in this general framework.

“Massive” vector field in de Sitter space
We present in this paper a covariant quantization of the “massive” vector field on de Sitter (dS) space based on analyticity in the complexified pseudo-Riemanian manifold. The correspondence between unitary irreducible representations of the de Sitter group and the field theory on de Sitter space-time is essential in our approach. We introduce the Wightman-Gärding axiomatic for vector field on ...
متن کاملOptical, Thermal and Structural Properties of CdS Quantum Dots Synthesized by A Simple Chemical Route
The present work deals with the synthesis and characterization of CdS nanoparticles with good thermal stability and optical properties by a novel and simple synthetic route. The nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation method in a single reaction vessel under ambient conditions. The prepared CdS nanoparticles were compared with the bulk CdS. The Optical properties were determin...
متن کاملOn quantum field theories with finitely many degrees of freedom
The existence of inequivalent representations in quantum field theory with finitely many degrees of freedom is shown. Their properties are exemplified and analysed for concrete and simple models. In particular the relations to Bogoliubov–Valatin quasi-particles, to thermo field dynamics, and to q–deformed quantum theories are put foreward. The thermal properties of the non-trivial vacuum are gi...
متن کاملCurrent Trends in Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory
In this article a non–technical survey is given of the present status of Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory and interesting future directions of this approach are outlined. The topics covered are the universal structure of the local algebras of observables, their relation to the underlying fields and the significance of their relative positions. Moreover, the physical interpretation of the theory i...
متن کاملDecay of particles above threshold in the Ising field theory with magnetic field
The two-dimensional scaling Ising model in a magnetic field at critical temperature is integrable and possesses eight stable particles Ai (i = 1, . . . , 8) with different masses. The heaviest five lie above threshold and owe their stability to integrability. We use form factor perturbation theory to compute the decay widths of the first two particles above threshold when integrability is broke...
