Abstract

Within the framework of the operator product expansion (OPE) and the renormalization group equation (RGE), we show that the temperature and chemical potential dependence of the zeroth moment of a spectral function (SF) in an asymptotically free theory is completely determined by the one-loop structure of the theory. This exact result constrains the qualitative shape of SF's, and implies striking phenomenological effects near phase transitions.
