This book discusses all three formalisms used in the study of
finite temperature field theory, namely the imaginary time
formalism, the closed time formalism and thermofield dynamics.
Applications of the formalisms are worked out in detail. Gauge
field theories and symmetry restoration at finite temperature are
among the practical examples discussed in depth. The question of
gauge dependence of the effective potential and the Nielsen
identities are explained. The nonrestoration of some symmetries at
high temperature (such as supersymmetry) and theories on nonsimply
connected space-times are also described thoroughly. Other topics
include (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional field theories at finite
temperature and phase transitions, derivative expansion, linear
response theory and the question of infrared divergences at finite
temperature. In addition, examples of nonequilibrium phenomena are
discussed with the disoriented chiral condensates as an
illustration.This book is a very useful tool for graduate students,
teachers and researchers in theoretical physics.
