Generalizations of the thermal Bogoliubov transformation
Elmfors, P., Hiroomi Umezawa
Abstract
The thermal Bogoliubov transformation in thermo field dynamics is generalized in two respects. First, a generalization of the $\\alpha$--degree of freedom to tilde non--conserving representations is considered. Secondly, the usual $2\\times2$ Bogoliubov matrix is extended to a $4\\times4$ matrix including mixing of modes with non--trivial multiparticle correlations. The analysis is carried out for both bosons and fermions.
