Perturbation theory in equilibrium and non-equilibrium

  • 1. Universita di Salerno (Italy). Dipartimento di Fisica Teorica

Description

By using the Thermo Field Dynamics formulation a general systematic perturbation scheme is developed to study the behaviour at finite temperature of systems with infinite degree of freedom. Situations of equilibrium and non-equilibrium are both considered. In the case of non-equilibrium, the effect of initial correlations (both in the case of Gaussian and non-Gaussian correlations) is taken into account by introducing a double expansion method.
