Problems in the quantum theory of many-particle systems
- Abstract:
-
A finite temperature perturbation theory for the Heisenberg model of ferromagnetism is presented. A modified Wick's theorem proved for S=½ and finite temperatures allows the terms in the expansion for the temperature dependent Green's function to be expressed by linked Feynman-like diagrams. The diagrams differ from the usual boson and fermion diagrams in the appearance of time (temperature) dependent dotted lines between prop...
