DISSIPATIVE SCALAR FIELD THEORY VIA DEFORMATION QUANTIZATION
Iliana Carrillo-Ibarra, Hugo García‐Compeán, Francisco J. Turrubiates
Abstract
The dissipative scalar field theory by means of the deformation quantization formalism is studied. Following the ideas presented by G. Dito and F. J. Turrubiates [Phys. Lett. A352, 309 (2006)] for quantum mechanics, a star product which contains the dissipative effect for the damped oscillation modes of the field is constructed. Employing this approach the expectation values of some observables in the quantum mechanical case as well as certain correlation functions for the field case are obtained under a particular dissipative process.
