摘要

We revisit the TFD formulation for finite-temperature field theory and demonstrate its fundamental role in grasping key aspects of real-time finite-temperature field theory. Specifically, we demonstrate that the general unitary SU(1,1) formulation of TFD, in which the conjugation rules are redefined, is consistent with the GNS construction and Tomita-Takesaki theory. We calculate the SU(1,1) thermal propagator and show that the KMS condition is independent of the choice of the SU(1,1) parameters.
