Functional Integral in Statistical Mechanics

In this work, the author state that many problems in statistical mechanics center on the analysis of functional integrals of the form: \begin{equation} Z(\varphi') = \int d\mu(\varphi) e^{-V(\varphi+\ …

Formulating the variational principle in grand canonical ensemble

After a very nice discussion in my previous question, I decided to move on and try to formulate the variational principle for the grand canonical ensemble. I tried following the references cited in th …

Formulating the variational principle in grand canonical ensemble

Attempted Proof: Suppose we have a family $\{f_{N}\}_{N\in \mathbb{N}}$ of functions $f_{N}: \Omega_{N} \to \mathbb{R}$. It induces a function $f: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ by setting $$f(x,N) := f_{N}(x …

Can Feynman-Kac formula relate to partition function in a rigorous way?

Feynman-Kac formula reads: $$\psi(x,\beta) = \int e^{\int V({\bf{x}}(\tau))d\tau}\psi_{0}({\bf{x}}(\beta))d\mu_{x}({\bf{x}}). \tag{1}\label{1}$$ This is a rigorous formula, defined by means of a Wiene …

How do I find the kernel of the shift operator in the solution of 2D Ising model?

Okay, this is a second part of my previous question. Again, I'm following Itzykson's book. The fermionic solution for the 2D Ising model is described in terms of a matrix $T = \theta \tilde{\theta}$, …

Construction of the Klein-Gordon field theory - what is missing?

Many references I know on QFT start the discussion of the Klein-Gordon field theory with some discussion about harmonic oscillators. One such reference is Folland's Quantum Field Theory book. The idea …
