Causal signal transmission by quantum fields. II: Quantum-statistical response of interacting bosons (Q935115)

This is a paper of physics. Based on their previous result for the free quantum field theory as well as the harmonic oscillator in \textit{L. I. Plimak} and \textit{S. Stenholm} [Ann. Phys. 323, No. 8, 1963--1988 (2008; Zbl 1251.81052)], the authors of the paper present the response formulation for interacting boson quantum field theories, using Schwinger's closed-time-loop. They argue the re-derivation of the Kubo's formula and the relation between operator non-commutativity and response, and so on. Explicit causality is also given in this formulation.
