Problems of Perturbation Series in Non-Equilibrium Quantum Field Theories

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-01 v1

Abstract

In the standard framework of non-equilibrium quantum field theories, the pinch singularities associated to multiple products of δ\delta-functions do not cancel in a perturbative expansion unless the particle distributions are those for a system in thermal and chemical equilibrium.
