A resummed perturbative expansion is used to obtain the self-energy in the high-temperature \(g^2\phi^4\) field theory model up to order $g^4$. From this the zero momentum pole of the effective propagator is evaluated to determine the…
We investigate properties of the invariant measure for the $A_0$ gauge field in finite temperature gauge theories both on the lattice and in the continuum theory. We have found the cancellation of the naive measure in both cases. The result…
A partial resummation of perturbation theory is described for field theories containing spin-1/2 particles in states that may be far from thermal equilibrium. This allows the nonequilibrium state to be characterized in terms of…

The dependence of thermal field theory on the surface of quantization and on the velocity of the heat bath is investigated by working in general coordinates that are arbitrary linear combinations of the Minkowski coordinates. In the general…

We consider a scalar field model with a $g \phi_4^4$ interaction and compute the mass correction at next-to-leading order in a large-$N$ expansion to study the summability of the perturbative series. It is already known that at zero…
We analyse nonperturbatively signal transmission patterns in Green's functions of interacting quantum fields. Quantum field theory is re-formulated in terms of the nonlinear quantum-statistical response of the field. This formulation…
While it is possible to find examples of field theories with a spontaneously broken symmetry at high temperature, in renormalizable supersymmetric models any internal symmetry gets always restored. Recently, a counterexample was suggested…
Dealing with a generic time-local non-Markovian master equation, we define current and power to be process-dependent as in classical thermodynamics. Each process is characterized by a symmetry transformation, a gauge of the master equation,…
