    Notes: In this paper the so-called α degree of freedom appearing in thermal quantum field theory is discussed, using thermo field dynamics (TFD). This paper is confined to stationary thermal situations, both nonequilibrium and equilibrium. The main result is that when the stationary number distribution differs from the equilibrium one the use of time ordered and antitime ordered formalisms picks up α=1 and α=0, in contrast to the general belief that the Feynman diagram method is usable for any other α as well. This situation in TFD will be compared with the other approaches. The reason why the Feynman diagram method becomes available for any α in the case of the equilibrium distributions is also studied.

    Notes: We consider arbitrary splits of field operators into two parts; ψ=ψ++ψ−, and use the corresponding definition of normal ordering introduced earlier [T. S. Evans and D. A. Steer, Nucl. Phys. B 474, 481 (1996)]. In this case the normal ordered products and contractions have none of the special symmetry properties assumed in existing proofs of Wick's theorem. Despite this, we prove that Wick's theorem still holds in its usual form as long as the contraction is a c-number. Wick's theorem is thus shown to be much more general than existing derivations suggest, and we discuss possible simplifying applications of this result. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Problems with calculations of Feynaman diagrams with no external leg carrying non-zero momentum for a finite temperature scalar field theory using a real time path integral approach are considered. The necessary extra rules for all such calculations are derived, covering all the usual methods of calculating the effective potential, and several problems with such calculations from the path integral viewpoint are resolved.

    Notes: Abstract The Chiral Phase Transition in QCD is studied analytically by looking at truncations of the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark self-mass. We find that the usual implementation of the gluon propagator at non-zero temperature is far too simple. When the gluons are given the correct qualitative non-zero temperature behaviour, the calculation of the critical temperature changes significantly.

    Notes: Abstract We derive Feynman rules for gauge theories exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking using the real-time formalism of finite temperature field theory. We also derive the thermal propagators where only the physical degrees of freedom are given thermal boundary conditions. We analyse the abelian Higgs model and find that these new propagators simplify the calculation of the thermal contribution to the self energy.
