3-dimensional Rules for Finite-Temperature Loops

arXiv:hep-th/9704078 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)00435-8

Abstract

We present simple diagrammatic rules to write down Euclidean n-point functions at finite temperature directly in terms of 3-dimensional momentum integrals, without ever performing a single Matsubara sum. The rules can be understood as describing the interaction of the external particles with those of the thermal bath.
