An Algebraic Proof of Thermal Wick's Theorem

Chen, Ruofan

Every many-body state can be constructed from the vacuum state by iteratively applying the creation operators, therefore the thermal expectation can be transformed into a sum of vacuum expectation where the vacuum Wick's theorem holds. Based on this observation this article gives an algebraic proof of thermal Wick's theorem.

Notes on Wick's theorem in many-body theory

Luca Guido Molinari

In this pedagogical note I present the operator form of Wick's theorem, i.e. a procedure to bring a product of 1-particle creation and destruction operators to normal order, with respect to some reference many-body state. Both the static and the time-ordered cases are presented. For the latter, in particular, I provide a simple proof.
