Thermal quantum field theory

Template:Unreferenced stub In theoretical physics, a source field is a field $J$ whose multiple

$S_{source}=J\mathrm{\Phi }$

appears in the action, multiplied by the original field $\mathrm{\Phi }$. Consequently, the source field appears on the right-hand side of the equations of motion (usually second-order partial differential equations) for $\mathrm{\Phi }$. When the field $\mathrm{\Phi }$ is the electromagnetic potential or the metric tensor, the source field is the electric current or the stress-energy tensor, respectively.

All Green's functions (correlators) may be formally found via Taylor expansion of the partition sum considered as a function of the source fields. This method is commonly used in the path integral formulation of quantum field theory. The general method by which such source fields can be utilized to obtain propagators in both quantum, statistical-mechanics and other systems is outlined in the article on the partition function.
