Asymptotic free energy of quantum replicas

ORAL

Abstract

I approximate the free energy to O(1/N) of an N-replica Hamiltonian defined by a Weyl transform with replica-averaged operators. This result generalizes the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation to non-quadratic Hamiltonians and formalizes the random-phase approximation.
