Soft Modes Contribution into Path Integral

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v2

Abstract

A method for nonperturbative path integral calculation is proposed. Quantum mechanics as a simplest example of a quantum field theory is considered. All modes are decomposed into hard (with frequencies ω2>ω02\omega^2 >\omega^2_0) and soft (with frequencies ω2<ω02\omega^2 <\omega^2_0) ones, ω0\omega_0 is a some parameter. Hard modes contribution is considered by weak coupling expansion. A low energy effective Lagrangian for soft modes is used. In the case of soft modes we apply a strong coupling expansion. To realize this expansion a special basis in functional space of trajectories is considered. A good convergency of proposed procedure in the case of potential V(x)=λx4V(x)=\lambda x^4 is demonstrated. Ground state energy of the unharmonic oscillator is calculated.
