We study the high-temperature behaviour of the n-point function to one-loop order in thermal QCD, in the analytic continuation of the imaginary-time formalism. Using ideas of Barton, we …
A nonlinear generalization of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) for the n-point Green functions and the amputated one particle irreducible vertex functions at finite temperature is …
In both the real-and imaginary-time formalisms of finite-temperature field theory it is shown exactly what types of real-time expectation value are being calculated. The relationship …

We compare the predictions of the real-time and the imaginary-time formalisms of finite temperature field theory. We construct, in the real-time formalism, retarded and advanced …
A bstract We describe general features of thermal correlation functions in quantum systems, with specific focus on the fluctuation-dissipation type relations implied by the KMS condition …

This is a very basic introduction and short (and of course incomplete) overview of thermal field theory. In the first part, I introduce the thermal propagator at a very simple level and give …
A bstract We study the spectral representation of finite temperature, out of time ordered (OTO) correlators on the multi-time-fold generalised Schwinger-Keldysh contour. We write …
Some properties at zero and finite temperature in the real-time formalism of a sum of graphs, previously shown in some examples to be equivalent to the retarded product, are discussed …
Chiral anomaly implies the existence of nondissipative transport phenomena, such as the chiral magnetic effect. At second order in the derivative expansion, novel quantum transport …
