The Double Green Function Formalism has been extensively used in dealing with the thermodynamics of quantum systems which evolved in time under the action of a given self-adjoint Hamiltonian. In this work, we extend the formalism to include…
The $2 \times 2$-matrix structure of Green's functions is a common feature for the real-time formalisms of quantum field theory under thermal situations, such as the closed time path formalism and Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD). It has been…

Real clocks are not perfect. This must have an effect in our predictions for the behaviour of a quantum system, an effect for which we present a unified description encompassing several previous proposals. We study the relevance of clock…
The quantum theory of a harmonic oscillator with a time dependent frequency arises in several important physical problems, especially in the study of quantum field theory in an external background. While the mathematics of this system is…

There are two formulations at non-zero chemical potential; one is the formulation that a Lagrangian includes a chemical potential, the other is the formulation that a Lagrangian does not include a chemical potential. The existence of two…
We analyze renormalization and the high temperature expansion of the one-loop effective action of the space-time noncommutative \phi^4 theory by using the zeta function regularization in the imaginary time formalism (i.e., on S^1 x R^3).…
It has been known for some time that the Green's function of a planar domain can be defined in terms of the exit time of Brownian motion, and this definition has been extended to stopping times more general than exit times. In this paper,…
Based on the real-time formalism, especially, on Thermo Field Dynamics, we derive the Schwinger-Dyson gap equation for the fermion propagator in QED and Four-Fermion model at finite-temperature and -density. We discuss some advantage of the…

Formal grammars are extensively used in Computer Science and related fields to study the rules which govern production of a language. The use of these grammars can be extended beyond mere language production. One possibility is to view…
