We investigate realizations of supersymmetry at finite temperature in terms of thermal superfields, in a thermally constrained superspace: the Grassmann coordinates are promoted to be time-dependent and antiperiodic, with a period given by…
Thermal superspace is characterized by Grassmann variables which are time-dependent and antiperiodic in imaginary time, with a period given by the inverse temperature. The thermal superspace approach allows to define thermal superfields…
It is shown how quantum field theory at finite temperature can be used to set up self-consistent and gauge invariant equations for cosmological perturbations sustained by an ultrarelativistic plasma. While in the collisionless case, the…
We study the nonlinear realization of supersymmetry in a dynamical/cosmological background in which derivative terms like kinetic terms are finite. Starting from linearly realized theories, we integrate out heavy modes without neglecting…
The finite temperature one-loop effective potential for a scalar field defined on an ultrastatic spacetime, whose spatial part is a compact hyperbolic manifold, is studied. Different analytic expressions, especially valuable at low and high…
The grand-canonical thermodynamic potential for Bose and Fermi fields in anti-de Sitter space-time is introduced and a Mellin complex representation is given. This is used to investigate the high temperature properties of the thermal state…
When supersymmetry is spontaneously broken it will be generically non-linearly realized. A method to describe the non-linear realization of supersymmetry is with constrained superfields. We discuss the basic features of this description and…
In this thesis we study classical aspects of superconformal field theory via symmetry principles. Specifically, by employing the powerful setup of conformal superspace, we obtain a plethora of new results in the fields of geometric and…
We construct effective supergravity theories from customized constrained superfields which provide a setup consistent both for the description of inflation and the subsequent reheating processes. These theories contain the minimum degrees…
We describe finite temperature N=4 superstrings in D=5 by an effective four-dimensional supergravity of the thermal winding modes that can become tachyonic and trigger the instabilities at the Hagedorn temperature. Using a domain-wall…
By considering the enlarged thermal system including the heat bath, it is shown that this system has supersymmetry which is not broken at finite temperature. The super algebra is constructed and the Hamiltonian is expressed as the…
We consider a massive scalar field with arbitrary coupling in $\mathbf{S}^{1}\times \mathbf{S}^{3}$ space, which mimics the thermal expanding universe, and calculate explicitly all relevant thermodynamical functions in the low- and…
This is a short review on the thermal, spectral representation in the real-time version of the finite temperature quantum field theory. After presenting a clear derivation of the spectral representation, we discuss the properties of its…
Supersymmetry breaking of a supersymmetric harmonic oscillator with polynomial interaction is analyzed. Some thermal effects are studied in the context of Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD). The restored supersymmetry results in non vanishing…
The partition function of a relativistic invariant quantum field theory is expressed by its vacuum energy calculated on a spatial manifold with one dimension compactified to a 1-sphere $S^1 (\beta)$, whose circumference $\beta$ represents…
This work continues the investigation in two recent papers on the quantum thermodynamics of spacetimes, 1) placing what was studied in [1] for thermal quantum fields in the context of early universe cosmology, and 2) extending the…
Trapped and cooled gases of alkali atoms can be manipulated to exhibit a variety of interesting phenomena. For example, dilute gases of fermionic atoms, in 2 hyperfine states, can be cooled to temperatures where they become superfluid. An…
A quantum field theory warm inflation model is presented that solves the cosmological horizon/flatness problems. An interpretation of the model is given from supersymmetry and superstring theory.
The trace of the heat kernel in a (D+1)-dimensional Euclidean spacetime (integer D > 1) is used to derive the free energy in finite temperature field theory. The spacetime presents a D-dimensional compact space (domain) with a…
We derive the underlying finite temperature theory which describes Fermi gas superfluidity with population imbalance in a homogeneous system. We compute the pair formation temperature and superfluid transition temperature $T_c$ and…
