We present the exact formula for neutrino oscillations. By resorting to
recent results of Quantum Field Theory of fermion mixing, we work out the
Green's function formalism for mixed neutrinos. The usual quantum mechanical
Pontecorvo formula is recovered in the relativistic limit.Comment: 7 pages, RevTeX, revised version: title changed and some minor

We show the presence of a topological (Berry) phase in the time evolution of
a mixed state. For the case of mixed neutrinos, the Berry phase is a function
of the mixing angle only.Comment: 7 pages, Revte
The spectral function of pions interacting with a gas of nucleons and ∆ 33 -resonances is investigated using the formalism of Thermo Field Dynamics. After a discussion of the zero ∆-width approximation at finite temperature, we take into account a constant width of the resonance. Apart from a full numerical calculation, we give analytical approximations to the pionic spectral function including such a width. They are found to be different from previous approximations, and require an increase of the effective ∆-width in hot compressed nuclear matter. The results are summarized in an effective dispersion relation for interacting pions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
