4 Thermal field theories in the Euclidean path integral formalism From textbooks Z(L ) = Tr ne L H b o where the temperature is T = /L φ(x) = φ(x + V pbc m) m Z 4 V pbc = L L L 2 L 3 C A The basic thermodynamic quantities are defined as f = L V ln Z(L ), e = V ln Z(L ), s = L2 L V n o ln Z(L ) L L which in the thermodynamic limit lead to p = f, s = L (e + p), c v = L L s They are defined in terms of f and of the cumulants of the energy distribution c n = V b H n c L.

6 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 4/27 Path integrals with shifted boundary conditions: infinite-volume limit (I) We are interested in the partition function Z(L, ξ) = Tr ne o L ( H iξ b P b ) where we have chosen ξ = {ξ,, } φ(x) = φ(x + V sbc m) m Z 4 V sbc = L L ξ L L 2 L 3 C A

10 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 6/27 Thermal field theory in a moving frame If b H and b P are the Hamiltonian and the total momentum operator expressed in a moving frame, the standard partition function is Z(L, v) Tr ne o L ( H v b bp ) If we continue Z to imaginary velocities v = iξ Z(L, ξ) = Tr {e L ( b H iξ bp ) } The functional dependence f(l p + ξ 2 ) is consistent with modern thermodynamic arguments on the Lorentz transformation of the temperature and the free-energy [Ott 63; Arzelies 65; see Przanowski for a recent discussion] In the zero-temperature limit the invariance of the theory (and of its vacuum) under the Poincaré group forces its free energy to be independent of the shift ξ At non-zero temperature the finite length L breaks SO(4) softly, and the free energy depends on the shift (velocity) explicitly but only through the combination β = L p + ξ 2

31 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 8/27 Strategy to compute entropy density and specific heat Once Z T has been computed in a small volume (for instance), the entropy density can be computed as (ξ k ) s = Z T L ( + ξ 2 ) 3/2 ξ k T k Vsbc thanks to the misalignment of the lattice axes with respect to the periodic directions Analogously the specific heat is given by (ξ k and L k chosen to be equal) T c v s = 3 T 2 + T ξ2 T V sbc,c V sbc,c ξ 2 T T T T 2 Vsbc,c V sbc,c Note that: No ultraviolet-divergent power subtraction needed Renormalization constant fixed non-perturbatively by WIs

Thanks to the locality of the observable, the cost of the simulation is volume independent at fixed statistical error

35 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 2/27 Step-scaling function on the lattice We consider the step-scaling function Σ s (T, 2) = 8 T (,,) T (,,) with the energy-momentum tensor defined as T µν = β 6 n FµαF a να a o 4 δ µνfαβ a F αβ a. where F a µν(x) = i nh 4a 2 Tr Q µν (x) Q νµ (x) it ao, Q µν (x) = X In the Yang Mills theory the step-scaling function does not require any ultraviolet renormalization factor, and it has an universal continuum limit

40 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 25/27 Results for the entropy density (PRELIMINARY) s/t T/T c By fixing (temporarily) the renormalization factor Z T from the literature [L.G., Meyer ], the temperature dependence of s(t)/t 3 is obtained by solving the recursive relation

41 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 26/27 Conclusions and outlook (I) Lorentz invariance implies a great degree of redundancy in defining a relativistic thermal theory in the Euclidean path-integral formalism In the thermodynamic limit, the orientation of the compact periodic direction with respect to the coordinate axes can be chosen at will and only its length is physically relevant q f L + ξ 2 = lim V L V ln Z(L, ξ) The redundancy in the description implies that the total energy and momentum distributions in the canonical ensemble are related For a finite-size system, the lengths of the box dimensions break this invariance. Being a soft breaking, however, interesting exact Ward Identities survive If the lightest screening mass M, leading finite-size corrections exponentially small in (ML) as in the standard case

42 L. Giusti STRONGnet 23 Graz - September 23 p. 27/27 Conclusions and outlook (II) When the theory is regularized on a lattice, the overall orientation of the periodic directions with respect to the lattice coordinate system affects renormalized observables at the level of lattice artifacts As the cutoff is removed, the artifacts are suppressed by a power of the lattice spacing The flexibility in the lattice formulation added by the introduction of a triplet ξ of (renormalized) parameters has interesting consequences: A finer scan of the temperature value WIs to renormalize non-perturbatively T µν Simpler ways to compute thermodynamic potentials s = Z T L ( + ξ 2 ) 3/2 ξ k T k Vsbc In the Yang Mills theory the entropy density can be computed over several orders of magnitude in T by introducing a step-scaling function. Discretization errors at the level of per mille. Keeping the statistical errors at the same level is very feasible
