It has long been understood that the inclusion of temperature in the perturbative treatment of quantum field theories leads to complications that are not present at zero temperature. In these proceedings we report on the non-perturbative…
We investigate the incorporation of space noncommutativity into field theory by extending to the spectral continuum the minisuperspace action of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator propagator with an enlarged Heisenberg algebra. In…
We propose an exact equivalence between the entanglement spectra of two completely different free-fermion systems at zero temperature. This equivalence follows from a position-momentum duality where the physical roles of the occupied band…
We compute the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of relativistic scalar quantum fields in 3+1 space-time dimensions starting from over-occupied initial conditions. We determine universal scaling exponents and functions for two-point correlators…
Causality is studied in the covariant formulation of free string field theory (SFT). We find that, though the string field in the covariant formulation is a functional of the ghost coordinates as well as the space-time coordinate and the…
This paper examines the causal structure of the commutator of two string fields, in free light-cone string field theory. By treating the commutator as a distribution on infinite dimensional loop space, it is shown that the commutator…
We formulate the finite-temperature perturbation theory of interacting scalar fields under external rotation. Because of the translational non-invariance in the radial direction, Green's functions are described using the Fourier-Bessel…
In this paper we study one-dimensional conformal field theory at finite temperature dual to the two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime in the Rindler coordinates. We show that conformal symmetry for thermal two-point functions manifests…
In this paper we consider a two component scalar field theory, with noncommutativity in its conjugate momentum space. We quantize such a theory in a compact space with the help of dressing transformations and we reveal a significant effect…
We compute the correlation functions for antiferromagnetic and d-wave superconducting fermion bilinears in a generalized mean field type approximation for the Hubbard model. For high temperature our explicit expressions show that…
An interacting scalar field theory in de Sitter space is non-renormalizable for a generic alpha-vacuum state. This pathology arises since the usual propagator used allows for a constructive interference among propagators in loop…
The renormalization of effective potentials for the noncommutative scalar field theory at high temperature are investigated to the two-loop approximation. The Feynman diagrams in evaluating the effective potential may be classified into two…
At the very early Universe the matter fields are described by the GUT models in curved space-time. At high energies these fields are asymptotically free and conformally coupled to external metric. The only possible quantum effect is the…
We consider quantum field theory in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, with the position coordinates represented by twistors instead of the usual world-vectors. Upon imposing canonical commutation relations between twistors and dual…
When examining a field theory in a general state, the propagator must be made consistent with that state and new counterterms are allowed if the state breaks some of the space-time's symmetries. This talk describes the specific example of…
The real-time operator formalism for thermal quantum field theories, thermofield dynamics, is formulated in terms of a path-integral approach in non-commutative spaces. As an application, the two-point function for a thermal non-commutative…
The density operator for a quantum system in thermal equilibrium with its environment depends on Planck's constant, as well as the temperature. At high temperatures, the Weyl representation, that is, the thermal Wigner function, becomes…
For a weakly coupled quantum field at high temperature the classical approximation offers a possibility to gain insight into nonperturbative real-time dynamics. I use this to present a nonperturbative approach to the computation of spectral…
It is argued that for hot quantum fields, the necessary effective perturbation theories may be based on a resummation procedure which, contrarily to the zero temperature case, differs substantially from the one ordinarily in use. Important…
The dependence of thermal field theory on the surface of quantization and on the velocity of the heat bath is investigated by working in general coordinates that are arbitrary linear combinations of the Minkowski coordinates. In the general…
