Scalar Field Theory in the Derivative Expansion

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The quantum correlations of scalar fields are examined as a power series in derivatives. Recursive algebraic equations are derived and determine the amplitudes; all loop integrations are performed. This recursion contains the same information as the usual loop expansion. The approach is pragmatic and generalizable to most quantum field theories.
