The problem of infrared divergence of the effective electromagnetic field produced by elementary particles is revisited using the non-equilibrium model of an electron interacting with low-temperature photons. It is argued that the infrared…
The problem of infrared divergence of the effective electromagnetic field produced by elementary charges is revisited using the model of an electron freely evolving in a photon bath. It is shown that for any finite travel time, the…
The one--loop effective action for a slowly varying electromagnetic field is computed at finite temperature and density using a real-time formalism. We discuss the gauge invariance of the result. Corrections to the Debye mass from an…
The thermodynamical properties of a quantized electromagnetic field inside a box with perfectly conducting walls are studied using a regularization scheme that permits to obtain finite expressions for the thermodynamic potentials. The…
We examine the equilibrium properties of hot, dilute, non-relativistic plasmas. The partition function and density correlation functions of a classical plasma with several species are expressed in terms of a functional integral over…
Using techniques of effective field theory, we consider the thermodynamical properties of a dilute two-dimensional plasma interacting via a $1/r$ potential. The first one-loop correction to the partition function is already logarithmically…
The electron-positron `box' diagram produces an effective action which is fourth order in the electromagnetic field. We examine the behaviour of this effective action at high-temperature (in analytically continued imaginary-time thermal…
In this work quantum electrodynamics at T > 0 is considered. For this purpose we use thermo field dynamics and the causal approach to quantum field theory according to Epstein and Glaser, the latter being a rigorous method to avoid the…
Integrating out high energy degrees of freedom to yield a low energy effective field theory leads to a loss of information with a concomitant increase in entropy. We obtain the effective field theory of a light scalar field interacting with…
The effective action is computed for the \lphi--theory at finite temperature for small perturbations about a constant background field, using a generalized tadpole method. We find the complete effective action, including the real and…
The thermal self-energy of an electron in a static uniform magnetic field $B$ is calculated to first order in the fine structure constant $\alpha $ and to all orders in $eB$. We use two methods, one based on the Furry picture and another…
The coherence length of the thermal electromagnetic field near a planar surface has a minimum value related to the nonlocal dielectric response of the material. We perform two model calculations of the electric energy density and the…
We calculate numerically the quasiparticle effective mass (m*) renormalization as a function of temperature and electron density in two- and three-dimensional electron systems with long-range Coulomb interaction. In two dimensions, the…
In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the one-loop self-energy correction at finite temperature for the bound electron. In this approach, we study the influence of thermal radiation on atomic systems. Along the way, we found…
We examine the behavior of the non-linear interactions between electromagnetic fields at high temperature. It is shown that, in general, the log(T) dependence on the temperature of the Green functions is simply related to their UV behavior…
In order to analyse classical electromagnetism in a medium at finite temperature we introduce `an optical density operator', and reformulate Maxwell's equations with the operator, starting from the Dirac-equation-like formulation of…
Partial differential equations for the electric potential at finite temperature, taking into account the thermal Euler-Heisenberg contribution to the electromagnetic Lagrangian are derived. This complete temperature dependence introduces…
We consider a neutral self-interacting massive scalar field defined in a d-dimensional Euclidean space. Assuming thermal equilibrium, we discuss the one-loop perturbative renormalization of this theory in the presence of rigid boundary…
We consider the finite-temperature frequency and momentum dependent two-point functions of local operators in integrable quantum field theories. We focus on the case where the zero temperature correlation function is dominated by a…
In this paper we compute the effective Lagrangian of static gravitational fields interacting with thermal fields of generalized electrodynamics at high temperature. We employ the usual Matsubara imaginary-time formalism to obtain a closed…
