Three Approaches to Classical Thermal Field Theory
arXiv:1008.5135 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2010.11.018
Abstract
In this paper we study three different functional approaches to classical thermal field theory, which turn out to be the classical counterparts of three well-known different formulations of quantum thermal field theory: the Closed-Time Path (CTP) formalism, the Thermofield Dynamics (TFD) and the Matsubara approach.
