Nonequilibrium problems in quantum field theory and Schwinger's Closed Time Path formalism
Abstract
We review the closed time path formalism of Schwinger using a path integral approach. We apply this formalism to the study of pair production from strong external fields as well as the time evolution of a nonequilibrium chiral phase transition.
