Triple point in the $O(2)$ ghost model with higher-order gradient term

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-10-05 v1

Abstract

The phase structure and the infrared behaviour of the Euclidean 3-dimensional O(2)O(2) symmetric ghost scalar field ϕ\phi has been investigated in Wegner and Houghton's renormalization group framework, including higher-derivatives in the kinetic term. It is pointed out that higher-derivative coupling provides three phases and leads to a triple point in that RG scheme. The types of the phase transitions have also been identified.
