(a) The correlation function![]()
used in (9.6.10) is not Hermitian. Show that if the correlation function is made Hermitian by the method used in (9.6.5), the spectral function will be symmetric with respect to ω = 0.
(b) Find the spectral function for the case of a noninteracting boson gas, for a symmetrized correlation function.
