    am finally adding references here, such as

    will add these also to lattice gauge theory as far as there is overlap

    added bried paragraph on relation to thermal quantum field theory and “compact periodic Euclidean time”, added some more references. But of course it remains a stub.

    made, for the moment, various keywords redirect here, which should eventually be split off as entries in their own right: thermal quantum field theory, Matsubara formalism, KMS condition

    added further pointers regarding thermal field theory as time-periodic Euclidean field theory. Of the many reviews, this one here stands out in clarity, coherence and scope:

    • S.A. Fulling, S.N.M. Ruijsenaars, Temperature, periodicity and horizons, Physics Reports Volume 152, Issue 3, August 1987, Pages 135-176 (pdf, doi:10.1016/0370-1573(87)90136-0)

    further exanded the Idea-section a fair bit and added more references, such as on literature explicitly discussing the Osterwalder-Schrader theorem for compact Euclidean time:

    • Abel Klein, Lawrence Landau, Periodic Gaussian Osterwalder-Schrader positive processes and the two-sided Markov property on the circle, Pacific Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 94, No. 2, 1981 ( DOI: 10.2140/pjm.1981.94.341, pdf)

    Will copy relvant bits also to the entries Wick rotation and Osterwalder-Schrader theorem

    added to the section “Idea – General” mentioning of more classes of examples (CFTs and diffeomorphism-gauge fixed TQFTs) as well as mentioning of formulation in terms of configuration spaces

    added the following pointer:


    The perturbative expansion of thermal field theory around the infinite-temperature-limit (i.e. around β=1/T=0\beta = 1/T = 0) is discussed in

    • Alexander N Jourjine, Quantum field theory in the infinite temperature limit, Annals of Physics Volume 155, Issue 2, July 1984, Pages 305-332 (doi:10.1016/0003-4916(84)90003-4)
