Thermal Quantum Field Theory and Perturbative Non-Equilibrium Dynamics

Thermal Quantum Field Theory and Perturbative Non-Equilibrium Dynamics

The author develops a new perturbative formalism of non-equilibrium thermal quantum field theory for non-homogeneous backgrounds. As a result of this formulation, the author is able to show how so-called pinch singularities can be removed, without resorting to ad hoc prescriptions, or effective resu...
