Field theory, relying on the concept of continuous space and time
while confronted with the quantum physical nature of observable
quantities, still has some fundamental challenges to face. One such
challenge is to understand the emergence of complexity in the
behavior of interacting elementary fields, including among other
things nontrivial phase structures of elementary matter at high
energy density or an atypical emergence of statistical properties,
e.g., when an apparent temperature is proportional to a constant
acceleration in a homogeneous gravitational field. Most modern
textbooks on thermal field theory are mainly concerned with how the
field theory formalism should be used if a finite temperature is
given. In contrast, this short primer explores how the phenomenon
of temperature emerges physically for elementary fields - inquiring
about the underlying kinetic field theory and the way energy
fluctuations and other noise should be handled - and it
investigates whether and how this harmonizes with traditional field
theory concepts like spectral evolution, the Keldysh formalism, and
phase transitions.
