We formulate a new method of performing high-temperature series expansions for the spin-half Heisenberg model or, more generally, for SU($n$) Heisenberg model with arbitrary $n$. The new method is a novel extension of the well-established…
We study the heat content for Laplacians on compact, finite metric graphs with Dirichlet conditions imposed at the "boundary" (i.e., a given set of vertices). We prove a closed formula of combinatorial flavour, as it is expressed as a sum…
We study, with various methods (standard large N evaluation of the functional integral for the effective potential, solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equations), the high temperature phase transition for the $N$-component $\phi^4$ theory in…
We investigate proposals of how the form factor approach to compute correlation functions at zero temperature can be extended to finite temperature. For the two-point correlation function we conclude that the suggestion to use the usual…
We study a $\phi^4$-theory at finite temperature in a finite volume. Quantum, thermal and volume fluctuations are treated with the functional renormalisation group. Specifically, we focus on the interplay of temperature and length scales…
We use renormalization group methods to study composite operators existing at a boundary of an interacting conformal field theory. In particular we relate the data on boundary operators to short-distance (near-boundary) divergences of bulk…
In this paper, we systematically study the effective action for non-commutative QED in the static limit at high temperature. When $\theta p^{2}\ll 1$, where $\theta$ represents the magnitude of the parameter for non-commutativity and $p$…
We formally extend the CFT techniques introduced in arXiv:1505.00963, to $\phi^{\frac{2d_0}{d_0-2}}$ theory in $d=d_0-\epsilon$ dimensions and use it to compute anomalous dimensions near $d_0=3, 4$ in a unified manner. We also do a similar…
We extend an earlier, configuration space method to find the Wilson coefficients of operators appearing in the short distance expansion of thermal correlation functions of different quark bilinears. Considering all the different correlation…
The heat kernel expansion for field theory at finite temperature is constructed. It is based on the imaginary time formalism and applies to generic Klein-Gordon operators in flat space-time. Full gauge invariance is manifest at each order…
We consider the bulk $\phi^3$ deformation of the free boundary conformal field theory in the $\epsilon$ expansion. We determine the leading corrections to the scaling dimensions of boundary fundamental operators and some boundary operator…
In this paper we discuss and revisit the finite temperature extension of the renormalization group (RG) treatment of $T=0$ field theories, focusing as a case study on the $\phi^4$ model. We first discuss the extension of RG equations of the…
The Uhlmann process is built on the density matrix of a mixed quantum state and offers a way to characterize topological properties at finite temperatures. We analyze an ideal spin-j quantum paramagnet in a magnetic field undergoing an…
A rational expansion of the Fermi density operator is proposed. This approach allows to calculate efficiently physical properties of fermionic systems at finite temperatures without solving an eigenvalue problem. Using N evaluations of the…
The square root of the heat operator $\sqrt{\partial_t-\Delta}$, can be realized as the Dirichlet to Neumann map of the heat extension of data on $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ to $\mathbb R^{n+2}_+$. In this note we obtain similar characterizations for…
