The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive pedagogical introduction into Keldysh technique for interacting out-of-equilibrium fermionic and bosonic systems. The emphasis is placed on a functional integral representation of underlying microscopic models. A large part of the review is devoted to derivation and applications of the non-linear sigma-model for disordered metals and superconductors. We discuss such topics as transport properties, mesoscopic effects, counting statistics, interaction corrections, kinetic equation, etc. The sections devoted to disordered superconductors include Usadel equation, fluctuation corrections, time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, proximity and Josephson effects, etc. (This review is a substantial extension of arXiv:cond-mat/0412296.)

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The dynamical Love numbers of a Schwarzschild black hole are nonzero at quadratic order in frequency, run logarithmically with a coefficient set by dissipation, and are now matched including their finite, scheme-depen...

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The momentum-space thermal four-point response function of scalar primaries in an arbitrary 2D CFT is expressed as an infinite sum over global conformal blocks of Meijer G-functions.

  3. In-In EFT

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An EFT for in-in correlators is defined by matching the full theory's real-time correlators, leading to operators with boundary terms and odd time derivatives.
