Dynamical Symmetry and the Thermofield State at Large $N$

Abstract

We discus Thermofield Double QFT at real time, in the large NN limit. First, we establish a (dynamical) symmetry which we argue holds in general on the real time portion of the Schwinger-Kelydish contour. At large NN this symmetry is seen to generate a one parameter degeneracy of stationary collective solutions. The construction is explicitly worked out on the example of O(N)O(N) vector QFT. As a nontrivial application we describe construction of the corresponding (large NN) Thermofield Double State in real time collective formalism.
