Transport Coefficients and Analytic Continuation in Dual 1 + 1 Dimensional Models at Finite Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conductivity of a finite temperature 1+1 dimensional fermion gas described by the massive Thirring model is shown to be related to the retarded propagator of the dual boson sine-Gordon model. Duality provides a natural resummation which resolves infra-red problems, and the boson propagator can be related to the fermion gas at non-zero temperature and chemical potential or density. In addition, at high temperatures, we can apply a dimensional reduction technique to find resummed closed expressions for the boson self-energy and relate them to the fermion conductivity. Particular attention is paid to the discussion of analytic continuation. The resummation implicit in duality provides a powerful alternative to the standard diagrammatic evaluation of transport coefficients at finite temperature.

We report about two new rigorous results on the non-analytic properties of thermodynamic potentials at first order phase transition. The first one is valid for lattice models (d ≥ 2) with arbitrary finite state space, and finite-range interactions which have two ground states. Under the only assumption that the Peierls Condition is satisfied for the ground states and that the temperature is suf...
متن کاملNew Formulation of a 1 + 1 Dimensional Field Theory Constrained to a Box
We consider a 1 + 1 dimensional field theory constrained to a finite box of length L. Traditionally, calculations in a box are done by replacing the in-tegrals over the spatial momenta by discrete sums and then evaluating sums and doing analytic continuations. We show that it is also possible to do such calculations using an analogy to finite temperature field theory. We develop a formalism tha...

We report about two new rigorous results on the nonanalytic properties of thermodynamic potentials at first-order phase transition. For lattice models (d>or=2) with arbitrary finite state space, finite-range interactions which have two ground states, we prove that the pressure has no analytic continuation at the first-order phase-transition point, under the only further assumptions that the Pei...
متن کاملExact Effective Action for (1 + 1 Dimensional) Fermions in an Abelian Background at Finite Temperature
In an effort to further understand the structure of effective actions for fermions in an external gauge background at finite temperature, we study the example of 1 + 1 dimensional fermions interacting with an arbitrary Abelian gauge field. We evaluate the effective action exactly at finite temperature. This effective action is non-analytic as is expected at finite temperature. However, contrary...
