Building on previous developments, we show that the Diagrammatic Monte Carlo technique allows to compute finite temperature response functions directly on the real-frequency axis within any field-theoretical formulation of the interacting…
We present the derivation of an alternative representation of the real-time in-in formalism under a spatially homogeneous and time independent electric field. Because the system exhibits instability associated with pair production of…
In various contexts in mathematical physics one needs to compute the logarithm of a positive unbounded operator. Examples include the von Neumann entropy of a density matrix and the flow of operators with the modular Hamiltonian in the…
The worldline formalism shares with string theory the property that it allows one to write down master integrals that effectively combine the contributions of many Feynman diagrams. While at the one-loop level these diagrams differ only by…
We develop an operator description, much like thermofield dynamics, for quantum field theories on a real time path with an arbitrary parameter $\sigma\,(0\leq\sigma\leq\beta)$. We point out new features which arise when $\sigma\neq…
It is known that local operators in quantum field theory transform in representations of ordinary global symmetry groups. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this statement to extended operators such as line and surface defects. We…

We give an explicit proof of equivalence of the two-point function to one-loop order in the two formalisms of thermal $\lambda \phi^3$ theory based on the expressions in the real-time formalism. It is indicated that the key-point of…
In this work, we develop a generalisation of the thermal entropy to complex inverse temperatures, which we call the thermal pseudo-entropy. We show that this quantity represents the pseudo-entropy of the transition matrix between…

The renormalization of effective potentials for the noncommutative scalar field theory at high temperature are investigated to the two-loop approximation. The Feynman diagrams in evaluating the effective potential may be classified into two…
We display an interesting sum rule for the dynamical thermal conductivity for many standard models of condensed matter in terms of the expectation of a thermal operator. We present the thermal operator for several model systems of current…
The Thermofield Dynamics (TFD) formalism is considered. In this context, a Lorentz-breaking scalar field theory is introduced. In contrast to the Matsubara formalism, the best-known approach to introducing the temperature effect, TFD is a…
We propose an exact summation method to compute thermodynamic observables in integrable quantum field theories. The key idea is to use the matrix-tree theorem to write the Gaudin determinants that appear in the cluster expansion as a sum…
Recently developed series representations of the Boltzmann operator are used to obtain Quantum Mechanical results for the matrix elements, <x| exp(-{\beta} H)|x>, of the imaginary time propagator. The calculations are done for two different…
We implement the numerical method of summing Green function diagrams on the Matsubara frequency axis for the fluctuation exchange (FLEX) approximation. Our method has previously been applied to the attractive Hubbard model for low density.…
Including finite-temperature effects from the electronic degrees of freedom in electronic structure calculations of semiconductors and metals is desired; however, in practice it remains exceedingly difficult when using zero-temperature…
The boundary conditions corresponding to the Matsubara formalism for the $T > 0$ partition function may be introduced as {\em constraints} in the path integral for the vacuum amplitude. We implement those constraints with time-independent…
