3-dimensional Rules for Finite-Temperature Loops

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We present simple diagrammatic rules to write down Euclidean n-point functions at finite temperature directly in terms of 3-dimensional momentum integrals, without ever performing a single Matsubara sum. The rules can be understood as describing the interaction of the external particles with those of the thermal bath.
