The thermodynamics of a quark plasma is studied within the two-flavour Nambu-JonaLasinio model. After reviewing the results which are obtained in the mean-field (Hartree) approximation, including chiral and quark number susceptibilities, we treat the contributions to the thermodynamic potential whic
The techniques of quantum field theory are used to investigate the thermodynamic ion displacement correlation function or Green's function of the phonon field in a crystal and especially in a metal. The structure of thermodynamic Green's functions is outlined and the method for solving for them at f
We investigate an application of the variational principle of Balian and Venironi for density operators and observables. Our choice for the trial spaces incorporates correlations in the density operator. It allows one to calculate the expectation values of both one-body and twobody observables. We d
