We study the finite-temperature Casimir effect for a massless scalar field confined between two parallel plates in a Schwarzschild-like wormhole spacetime. Imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions, we compute the renormalized Casimir free…
The formulation of statistical physics using light-front quantization, instead of conventional equal-time boundary conditions, has important advantages for describing relativistic statistical systems, such as heavy ion collisions. We…
The BP-FTW effective action is a good laboratory to study the nature of chiral symmetry at high $T$. It is invariant under a new Noether charge, $\Qbeta$. By explicit quantization, performed to order $\Tprime$ we show that the thermal…
The spectral properties of itinerant 2D systems with (nearly) ferromagnetic ground state are studied within the spin-fermion and the classical s-d exchange models. While the former model describes the effect of collective magnetic…
We reconsider four-dimensional scalar field theory in presence of Robin boundary conditions on two parallel plates. These boundary conditions are directly imposed in the path integral definition of the theory via auxiliary fields living on…
Standard entropy calculations in quantum field theory, when applied to a subsystem of definite volume, exhibit area-dependent UV divergences that make a thermodynamic interpretation troublesome. In this paper we define a renormalized…
Motivated by applications in thermal QCD and cosmology, we elaborate on a general method for computing next-to-leading order spectral functions for composite operators at vanishing spatial momentum, accounting for real, virtual as well as…
Relations and isomorphisms between quantum field theories in operator and functional integral formalisms are analyzed from the viewpoint of inequivalent representations of commutator or anticommutator rings of field operators. A functional…
The possibility of thermal and quantum fluctuations induced attractive interaction leading to a pairing gap \Delta_tq in the single-particle spectrum of d-p model in the limit of a large N of fermion flavor is investigated analytically.…
A conjecture is presented for the thermal one-point function of boundary operators in integrable boundary quantum field theories in terms of form factors. It is expected to have applications in studying boundary critical phenomena and…
In this paper, we present the repercussions of Padmanabhan's propagator in electrodynamics. This corresponds to implement T-duality effects in a U(1) gauge theory. By formulating a nonlocal action consistent with the above hypothesis, we…
We found that temperature-dependent infrared spectroscopy measurements (i.e., reflectance or transmittance) using a Fourier-transform spectrometer can have substantial errors, especially for elevated sample temperatures and collection using…
We argue that the renormalizability of interacting quantum field theory on the curved-space background with an additional external antisymmetric tensor (two-form) field requires nonminimal interaction of the antisymmetric field with quantum…
Point splitting has been suggested as a way to deal with anomalous commutators in quantum field theory. It has been pointed out by D.G. Boulware[4] that in order to obtain a mathematically consistent theory the Hamiltonian operator must be…
Using electromagnetic interaction as an example, response transformations [L.P. and S.S., Ann.Phys. 323, 1963, 1989 (2008), 324, 600 (2009)] are applied to the standard perturbative approach of quantum field theory. This approach is…
We have investigated the properties of a model of 1D anyons interacting through a $\delta$-function repulsive potential. The structure of the quasi-periodic boundary conditions for the anyonic field operators and the many-anyon…
We determine the commutation relations satisfied by the quantized electromagnetic field in the presence of macroscopic dielectrics and conductors, with arbitrary dispersive and dissipative properties. We consider in detail the case of two…
There are two formulations at non-zero chemical potential; one is the formulation that a Lagrangian includes a chemical potential, the other is the formulation that a Lagrangian does not include a chemical potential. The existence of two…
We study the 2-loop resummed propagator in hot $g^2\phi^4$ theory. The propagator has a cut along the whole real axis in the complex energy plane, but for small $g$, the spectral density is sharply peaked around the plasmon. The dispersion…
There has been significant progress in our understanding of finite-temperature field theory over the past decade. In this paper, we review the progress in perturbative thermal field theory focusing on thermodynamic quantities. We first…
