Quasifermion spectrum at finite temperature from coupled Schwinger-Dyson equations for a fermion-boson system

Abstract

We nonperturbatively investigate a fermion spectrum at finite temperature in a chiral invariant linear sigma model. Coupled Schwinger-Dyson equations for fermion and boson are developed in the real time formalism and solved numerically. From the coupling of a massless fermion with a massive boson, the fermion spectrum shows a three-peak structure at some temperatures even for the strong coupling region. This means that the three-peak structure which was originally found in the one-loop calculation is stable against higher order corrections even in the strong coupling region.
