Conformal Ward-Takahashi Identity at Finite Temperature

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-07-29 v2

Abstract

We study conformal Ward-Takahashi identities for two-point functions in d(3)d(\geq3)-dimensional finite-temperature conformal field theory. We first show that the conformal Ward-Takahashi identities can be translated into the intertwining relations of conformal algebra so(2,d)\mathfrak{so}(2,d). We then show that, at finite temperature, the intertwining relations can be translated into the recurrence relations for two-point functions in complex momentum space. By solving these recurrence relations, we find the momentum-space two-point functions that satisfy the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger thermal equilibrium condition.
