Description

We derive a series of relations between the six retarded and advanced three-point functions and the eight time-ordered three-point functions of real-time finite-temperature field theory, valid for all types of field. We then show how to construct the spectral function for three-point functions at non-zero temperature by analogy with the well known spectral function for propagators. (orig.)
