Finite-Temperature Field Theory: Principles and Applications

by Charles Gale, Joseph I. Kapusta, Charles Gale

Book Overview

This book develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic quantum field theory at high temperature and density. Specific physical theories treated include QED, QCD, electroweak theory, and effective nuclear field theories of hadronic and nuclear matter. Topics covered include: functional integral representation of the partition function, diagrammatic expansions, linear response theory, screening and plasma oscillations,...
