Duality and bosonization in Schwinger-Keldysh formulation

R. E. Gamboa Saraví, Carlos Naón, F Schaposnik

Abstract

We present a path-integral bosonization approach for systems out of equilibrium based on a duality transformation of the original Dirac fermion theory combined with the Schwinger-Keldysh time closed contour technique, to handle the non-equilibrium situation. The duality approach to bosonization that we present is valid for D 2 space-time dimensions leading for D = 2 to exact results. In this last case we present the bosonization rules for fermion currents, calculate current-current correlation functions and establish the connection between the fermionic and bosonic distribution functions in a generic, nonequilibrium situation.

Functional bosonization with time dependent perturbations

Carlos Naón, Salvay, M J, Trobo, M L

We extend a path-integral approach to bosonization previously developed in the framework of equilibrium Quantum Field Theories, to the case in which time-dependent interactions are taken into account. In particular we consider a non covariant version of the Thirring model in the presence of a dynamic barrier at zero temperature. By using the Closed Time Path (Schwinger-Keldysh) formalism, we compute the Green's function and the Total Energy Density of the system. Since our model contains the Tomonaga Luttinger model as a particular case, we make contact with recent results on non-equilibrium electronic systems.

Reduced Dynamics in Open Bosonic and Fermionic Systems

I. Lyris, Panagiotis Lykourgias, A. I. Karanikas

In this work we study the reduced dynamics of a system embedded in a quantum environment, with the use of correlation functions produced through appropriately defined reduced generating functionals. Our construction is based on expressing these functionals in terms of consistently defined coherent-state path integrals in the framework of the Keldysh-Schwinger out-of-equilibrium formalism.

Bosonization of one-dimensional fermions out of equilibrium

Dmitri B. Gutman, Yuval Gefen, A. D. Mirlin

Bosonization technique for one-dimensional fermions out of equilibrium is developed in the framework of the Keldysh action formalism. We first demonstrate how this approach is implemented for free fermions and for the problem of nonequilibrium Fermi edge singularity. We then employ the technique to study an interacting quantum wire attached to two electrodes with arbitrary energy distributions. The nonequilibrium electron Green's functions, which can be measured via tunneling spectroscopy technique and carry the information about energy distribution, zero-bias anomaly, and dephasing, are expressed in terms of functional determinants of single-particle ``counting'' operators. The corresponding time-dependent scattering phase is found to be intrinsically related to ``fractionalization'' of electron-hole excitations in the tunneling process and at boundaries with leads. Results are generalized to the case of spinful particles as well to Green's functions at different spatial points (relevant to the problem of dephasing in Luttinger liquid interferometers). For double-step distributions, the dephasing rates are oscillatory functions of the interaction strength.

Equilibrium and nonequilibrium many-body perturbation theory: a unified framework based on the Martin-Schwinger hierarchy

Robert van Leeuwen, Gianluca Stefanucci

We present a unified framework for equilibrium and nonequilibrium many-body perturbation theory. The most general nonequilibrium many-body theory valid for general initial states is based on a time-contour originally introduced by Konstantinov and Perel'. The various other well-known formalisms of Keldysh, Matsubara and the zero-temperature formalism are then derived as special cases that arise under different assumptions. We further present a single simple proof of Wick's theorem that is at the same time valid in all these flavors of many-body theory. It arises simply as a solution of the equations of the Martin-Schwinger hierarchy for the noninteracting many-particle Green's function with appropriate boundary conditions. We further discuss a generalized Wick theorem for general initial states on the Keldysh contour and derive how the formalisms based on the Keldysh and Konstantinov-Perel'-contours are related for the case of general initial states.
