The Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition is a kind of boundary-value condition which naturally emerges in quantum statistical mechanics and related areas.
Given a quantum system with finite dimensional Hilbert space , define the function as
(1) |
where is the imaginary unit and where is the Hamiltonian, i.e., the sum of the kinetic energies of all the particles in plus the potential energy of the particles associated with . Next, for any real number , define the thermal equilibrium as
(2) |
where denotes the matrix trace. From and , one can define the so-called equilibrium correlation function where
(3) |
whereby the KMS boundary condition says that
(4) |
In particular, this identity relates to the state the values of the analytic function on the boundary of the strip
(5) |
where here, denotes the imaginary part of and denotes the signum function applied to .
In various literature, the KMS boundary condition is stated in sometimes-different contexts. For example, the identity () is sometimes written with respect to integration, yielding
(6) |
where here, is used as shorthand for . In other literature (e.g., Araki and Miyata 1968), the condition looks different still.
