The Schwinger Model on a circle: relation between Path Integral and Hamiltonian approaches

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-11-05 v1

Abstract

We solve the massless Schwinger model exactly in Hamiltonian formalism on a circle. We construct physical states explicitly and discuss the role of the spectral flow and nonperturbative vacua. Different thermodynamical correlation functions are calculated and after performing the analytical continuation are compared with the corresponding expressions obtained for the Schwinger model on the torus in Euclidean Path Integral formalism obtained before.
