Recently the anomalous behaviour of Fermions below the Fermi temperature was analysed in detail from different viewpoints. In the present communication we obtain a justification for this anomalous semionic behaviour and also obtain the…
The dynamics of {\it light} fermions propagating in a spatial direction at high temperatures can be described effectively by a two--dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with {\it heavy} effective mass $m_{\rm eff} = \pi T$. Starting from QED,…
In this Letter certain fundamental physics issues relating to recent theories of so-called `spin quantum plasmas' are examined. It is shown that the derivations and some of the results obtained in these theories contradict well-established…
In his preprint, arXiv:0711.0952v1, Behnam Farid argues that the Luttinger theorem is valid not only for a metal but also for a Mott insulator if the chemical potential is calculated by taking the limit of vanishing temperature at fixed…
Recently Philbin et al. (New J. Phys. 11 (2009) 033035; arXiv:0904.2148v3) presented a new theory of the van der Waals friction. Contrary to the previous theories they claimed that there is no "quantum friction" at zero temperature. We show…
In the recent preprints the authors claim that conclusions on the violation of the Luttinger sum rule (LSR) as put forward in published papers by the present authors are false or at least not conclusive enough. It concerns the validity of…
We investigate the behavior of a pair of heavy fermions, denoted by $Q$ and $\bar{Q}$, in a hot/dense medium. Although we have in mind the situation where $Q$ and $\bar{Q}$ denote heavy quarks, our treatment will be limited to simplified…
We derive a form of spectral representations for all bosonic and fermionic propagators in the real-time formulation of field theory at finite temperature and chemical potential. Besides being simple and symmetrical between the bosonic and…
We comment on the recent attempt by M. Franz et al [1] to further justify their earlier calculation of the gauge-invariant electron propagator in the context of the QED_3 theory of the pseudogap phase in cuprates [2]. First, we use the…
Recently Yampol'skii et al. [Phys. Rev. A v.82, 032511 (2010)] advocated that Lifshitz theory is not applicable when the characteristic wavelength of the fluctuating electromagnetic field, responsible for the thermal correction to the…
We offer a revised exposition of the three types of heat-propagation theories proposed by Green and Naghdi, in the form they were given in 1992-3. Those theories, which make use of the notion of thermal displacement and allow for heat…
We compute thermal and quantum fluctuations in the background of a domain wall in a scalar field theory at finite temperature using the exact scalar propagator in the subspace orthogonal to the wall's translational mode. The propagator…
We analyze the many-particle Schrodinger equation for fermions in a thermal ensemble by introducing an exponential operator expansion, defined in the context of thermofield dynamics. The expansion is optimized variationally at each time…
We investigate the propagation of fronts in an inhomogeneous medium within the framework of the $\phi^4$ model. The inhomogeneity is modeled either as an interface separating regions with different dissipation or as a finite layer with…
By employing retarded and advanced propagators, Aurenche and Becherrawy showed how to rewrite the real-time thermal Feynman rules so that the temperature dependence is removed from the free propagators and transferred to the vertices. The…
A normal-diffusion theory for heat transfer in many-body systems via carriers of thermal photons is developed. The thermal conductivity tensor is rigorously derived from fluctuational electrodynamics as a coefficient of diffusion term for…

Several closely related ab initio thermal mean-field theories for fermions, both well-established and new ones, are compared with one another at the formalism level and numerically. The theories considered are Fermi-Dirac theory, thermal…

A recent work by Zhao et al. [1] reports the realization of a synthetic Kondo lattice in a gate-tunable Moir\'e TMD bilayer system. The observation of a Kondo lattice is supported by a plateau (or dip, depending on filling) in the…
