The Nielsen Identities for the generalized $R_\xi$-gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

We show that it is possible, in opposition to a previous conjecture, to derive a Nielsen identity for the effective action in the case of the generalized RξR_\xi -gauge, where the gauge function explicitly depends on the gauge parameter ξ\xi . Also the Nielsen identity for the effective potential is verified to one-loop in the Abelian Higgs model and the corresponding identity for the physical Higgs mass is derived.
