Remarks on the retarded, advanced and thermodynamic Green's functions

Замечания о запаздывающих, опережающих и термодинамических функциях Грина

Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The connection between time correlation and retarded, advanced and thermodynamic Green's functions is discussed in a systematic way. The occurrence of a time-independent contribution to the time correlation function is connected to the Green's function defined by η=1, and a simple rule is given for its calculation when a suitable decoupling is available.

Riassunto

Si discute in modo sistematico la connessione fra correlazione temporale e funzioni di Green termodinamiche, avanzate e ritardate. Il verificarsi di un contributo indipendente dal tempo per la funzione di correlazione temporale è collegato alla funzione di Green definita da η=1. Si dà una semplice regola per ottenerla quando si ha un opportuno disaccoppiamento.

Резюме

Систематическим образом рассматривается связь между временной корреляцией и запаздывающими, опережающими и термодинамическими функциями Грина. Появление вклада, не зависящего от времени, в функции временной корреляции связывается с функцией Грина, определенной посредством η=1. Приводится простое правило для вычисления этого вклада, когда имеет место соответствующее нарумение связи.
