Quantum Fields without Wick Rotation
TL;DR: This work discusses the calculation of one-loop effective actions in Lorentzian spacetimes, based on a very simple application of the method of steepest descent to the integral over the field, and shows that for static spacetime this procedure agrees with the analytic continuation of Euclidean calculations.
Geometrically confined thermal field theory: Finite size corrections and phase transitions
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model of a massless, noninteracting scalar field confined with Dirichlet boundary conditions was proposed, and the free energy, total internal energy, pressure, entropy, and heat capacity of the field between parallel plates, in a tube, and in finite volume boxes of various sizes in four spacetime dimensions.

Perturbation theory for linear operators
Tosio Kato
- 01 Jan 1966
TL;DR: The monograph by T Kato as discussed by the authors is an excellent reference work in the theory of linear operators in Banach and Hilbert spaces and is a thoroughly worthwhile reference work both for graduate students in functional analysis as well as for researchers in perturbation, spectral, and scattering theory.
