Making use of the thermo field dynamics (TFD) we formulate a calculable method for time-dependent nonequilibrium systems in a time representation (t-representation) rather than in the k0-Fourier representation. The corrected one-body propagator in the t-representation has the form of B−1 (diagonal matrix) B (B being a thermal Bogoliubov matrix). The number parameter in B here is the observed number (the Heisenberg number) with a fluctuation. With the usual definition of the on-shell self-energy a self-consistent renormalization condition leads to a kinetic equation for the number parameter. This equation turns out to be the Boltzmann equation, from which the entropy law follows.

The renormalization scheme in nonequilibrium thermal quantum field theories is reexamined. Instead of the self-energy diagonalization scheme, we propose to diagonalize Green’s function at equal time. This eliminates the problem of on-shell definition related to time-dependent energies and spatially inhomogeneous situations, and yields a Boltzmann equation that contains memory effect. The new diagonalization scheme and the derivation of the Boltzmann equation from it can be applied to any thermal situation. It allows the treatment of a nonequilibrium problem beyond perturbational calculations in a self-consistent manner. The results are applicable to both thermo field dynamics and the closed time path formalism.

Relativistic quantum field theories for complex scalar and Dirac fields are investigated in nonequilibrium thermo field dynamics. The thermal vacuum is defined by the Bogoliubov transformed creation and annihilation operators. Two independent Bogoliubov parameters are introduced for a charged field. Its difference naturally induces the chemical potential. Time-dependent thermal Bogoliubov transformation generates the thermal counterterms. We fix the terms by the self-consistency renormalization condition. Evaluating the thermal self-energy under the self-consistency renormalization condition, we derive the quantum Boltzmann equations for the relativistic fields.

The way to determine the renormalized energy of inhomogeneous systems of a quantum field under an external potential is established for both equilibrium and nonequilibrium scenarios based on thermo field dynamics. The key step is to find an extension of the on-shell concept valid in homogeneous case. In the nonequilibrium case, we expand the field operator by time-dependent wavefunctions that are solutions of the appropriately chosen differential equation, synchronizing with temporal change of thermal situation, and the quantum transport equation is derived from the renormalization procedure. Through numerical calculations of a triple-well model with a reservoir, we show that the number distribution and the time-dependent wavefunctions are relaxed consistently to the correct equilibrium forms at the long-term limit.

By making use of time-dependent Bogoliubov transformations, we develop a calculation technique for time-dependent non-equilibrium systems of quantum fields in a time-representation (t-representation). The corrected one-body propagator in the t-representation turns out to have the form B−1 (diagonal matrix) B (B being a thermal Bogoliubov matrix). Applying the usual on-shell concept to the diagonal matrix part of the self-energy, we formulate a self-consistent renormalization scheme. This renormalization determines the vacuum and leads to a kinetic equation for the number density parameter, which reduces to the Boltzmann equation in the lowest approximation. This gives us the increasing entropy in time (the second law of thermodynamics).

Abstract:The monitoring and treatment of patients in a care unit is a complex task in which even the most experienced clinicians can make errors. A hemato-oncology department in which patients undergo chemotherapy asked for a computerized system able to provide intelligent and continuous support in this task. One issue in building such a system is the definition of a control architecture able to manage, in real time, a treatment plan containing prescriptions and protocols in which temporal constraints are expressed in various ways, that is, which supervises the treatment, including controlling the timely execution of prescriptions and suggesting modifications to the plan according to the patient’s evolving condition. The system to solve these issues, called SEPIA, has to manage the dynamic, processes involved in patient care. Its role is to generate, in real time, commands for the patient’s care (execution of tests, administration of drugs) from a plan, and to monitor the patient’s state so that it may propose actions updating the plan. The necessity of an explicit time representation is shown. We propose using a linear time structure towards the past, with precise and absolute dates, open towards the future, and with imprecise and relative dates. Temporal relative scales are introduced to facilitate knowledge representation and access.

The magnetic field hz of a moving Pearl vortex in a superconducting thin-film in (x,y) plane is studied with the help of the time-dependent London equation. It is found that for a vortex at the origin moving in +x direction, hz(x,y) is suppressed in front of the vortex, x>0, and enhanced behind (x<0). The distribution asymmetry is proportional to the velocity and to the conductivity of normal quasiparticles. The vortex self-energy and the interaction of two moving vortices are evaluated.

We present a brief review about recent progresses concerning the study of diffusion processes in CP stars. The most spectacular of them concerns the calculation of radiative accelerations in stellar envelopes for which an accuracy better than 30% can now be reached for a large number of ions. This improvement is mainly due to huge and accurate atomic and opacity data bases available since the beginning of the 90’s. Developments of efficient computational methods have been carried out to take advantage of these new data. These progresses have, in turn, led to a better understanding of how the element stratification is building up with time. A computation of self-consistent stellar evolution models, including time-dependent diffusion, can now be within the scope of the next few years. However, the progresses previously mentioned do not apply for stellar atmospheres and upper layers of envelopes.

The quark condensate which enters the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner (GMOR) relation, is investigated in the framework of one-gluon-exchange models. The usual definition of the quark condensate via the trace of the quark propagator produces a logarithmic divergent condensate. In the product of current mass and condensate, this divergence is precisely compensated by the bare current mass. The finite value of the product in fact does not contradict the relation recently obtained by Cahill and Gunner. Therefore the GMOR relation is still satisfied.
