Frozen ghosts in thermal gauge field theory
P.V. Landshoff, A. Rebhan
TL;DR
This paper reviews an alternative approach to finite temperature gauge field theories that maintains unphysical degrees of freedom and ghosts at zero temperature, offering a different perspective on thermal gauge theories.
Contribution
It introduces a novel formulation of thermal gauge field theories by keeping unphysical modes at zero temperature, contrasting with traditional methods.
Findings
Provides a consistent framework for thermal gauge theories with unphysical modes at zero temperature.
Offers insights into the role of ghosts and gauge degrees of freedom at finite temperature.
Facilitates potential new calculations in thermal gauge field contexts.
Abstract
We review an alternative formulation of gauge field theories at finite temperature where unphysical degrees of freedom of gauge fields and the Faddeev-Popov ghosts are kept at zero temperature.
