Towards a Relativistic KMS Condition
Abstract
It is shown that, under quite general conditions, thermal correlation functions in relativistic quantum field theory have stronger analyticity properties in configuration space than those imposed by the KMS-condition. These analyticity properties may be understood as a remnant of the relativistic spectrum condition in the vacuum sector and lead to a Lorentz-covariant formulation of the KMS-condition involving all space-time variables.
