Abstract
Blocking transformation is performed in quantum field theory at finite temperature. We find that the manner in which the temperature the renormalized trajectories can be used to understood better the role played by the quantum fluctuations. In particular, it is conjectured that domain formation and mass parameter generation can be observed in theories without spontaneous symmetry breaking.Keywords
