Evaluating Real Time Finite Temperature Feynman Amplitudes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We construct a program to calculate Feynman amplitudes at finite temperature in the real time Keldysh formalism using the symbolic manipulation program {\it Mathematica}. As an example, the usefulness of this program is demonstrated by proving the finite temperature Ward identity for QED in a second order effective theory.
