Bogoliubov transformation and the thermal operator representation in the real time formalism

Ashok Das, Atri Deshamukhya, Pushpa Kalauni +1

It has been shown earlier \cite{brandt,brandt1} that, in the mixed space, there is an unexpected simple relation between any finite temperature graph and its zero temperature count…

Fermion propagator in an external potential and generalized Airy functions

A. L. M. Britto, Ashok K. Das, J. Frenkel

We study the behavior of the fermion propagator in an external time dependent potential in 0+1 dimension. We show that, when the potential has upto quadratic terms in time, the pro…

Generalized Kadanoff-Baym relation in nonequilibrium quenched models

A. L. M. Britto, Ashok K. Das, J. Frenkel

In the context of a broad class of quenched models, we derive a generalized differential form of the Kadanoff-Baym (KB) ansatz which relates the out of equilibrium correlated and s…

Operator description for thermal quantum field theories on an arbitrary path in the real time formalism

Ashok Das, Pushpa Kalauni

We develop an operator description, much like thermofield dynamics, for quantum field theories on a real time path with an arbitrary parameter . We point out new…

Highly nonlinear wave solutions in a dual to the chiral model

S. G. Rajeev, Evan Ranken

We consider a two-dimensional scalar field theory with a nilpotent current algebra, which is dual to the Principal Chiral Model. The quantum theory is renormalizable and not asympt…

Proper time method in de Sitter space

Ashok K. Das, Pushpa Kalauni

We use the proper time formalism to study a (non-self-interacting) massive Klein-Gordon theory in the two dimensional de Sitter space. We determine the exact Green's function of th…

Dynamics of Perturbations in Double Field Theory & Non-Relativistic String Theory

Sung Moon Ko, Charles Melby-Thompson, Rene Meyer +1

Double Field Theory provides a geometric framework capable of describing string theory backgrounds that cannot be understood purely in terms of Riemannian geometry -- not only glob…

Generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem in a soluble out of equilibrium model

A. L. M. Britto, Ashok K. Das, J. Frenkel

In the context of an exactly soluble out of equilibrium (quenched) model, we study an extension of the fluctuation-dissipation relation. This involves a modified differential form…

Derivation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem from unitarity

Ashok K. Das, J. Frenkel

Using the closed time path formalism in thermal field theory, we give a derivation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem which is based on the unitarity of the -matrix.

A path integral approach to the Langevin equation

Ashok K. Das, Sudhakar Panda, J. R. L. Santos

We study the Langevin equation with both a white noise and a colored noise. We construct the Lagrangian as well as the Hamiltonian for the generalized Langevin equation which leads…

Supersymmetry, shape invariance and the hypergeometric equation

Ashok K. Das, Pushpa Kalauni

It has been shown earlier that the solubility of the Legendre and the associated Legendre equations can be understood as a consequence of an underlying supersymmetry and shape inva…

Large time behavior in an exactly soluble out of equilibrium model

Ashok K. Das, J. Frenkel

We study the behavior of out of equilibrium retarded, advanced and correlated Green's functions within the context of an exactly soluble (quenched) model. We show, to the lowest or…

Where Have All the Goldstone Bosons Gone?

G. S. Guralnik, C. R. Hagen

According to a commonly held view of spontaneously broken symmetry in gauge theories, troublesome Nambu-Goldstone bosons are effectively eliminated by turning into longitudinal mod…

On the gauge independence of the fermion pole mass

Ashok K. Das, R. R. Francisco, J. Frenkel

We study the question of complete gauge independence of the fermion pole mass by choosing a general class of gauge fixing which interpolates between the covariant, the axial and th…

Kinklike structures in scalar field theories: from one-field to two-field models

D. Bazeia, L. Losano, J. R. L. Santos

In this paper we study the possibility of constructing two-field models from one-field models. The idea is to start with a given one-field model and use the deformation procedure t…

Particle-antiparticle asymmetry from magnetogenesis through the Landau mechanism

D. Carcamo, Ashok Das, J. Gamboa +1

Motivated by string theory an extension of the Landau problem to quantum field theory is considered. We show that the commutator between momenta of the fields violates Lorentz and…

The String Landscape: On Formulas for Counting Vacua

Tamar Friedmann, Richard P. Stanley

We derive formulas for counting certain classes of vacua in the string/M theory landscape. We do so in the context of the moduli space of M-theory compactifications on singular man…
