We study the effect of one-loop corrections from nucleon together with those from boson in the massless chiral sigma model, where we perform the Coleman-Weinberg renormalization procedure. This renormalization procedure has a mechanism of…

The temperature behaviour of meson condensates $<\sigma_0>$ and $<\sigma_8>$ is calculated in the $SU(3)\times SU(3)$-linear sigma model. The couplings of the Lagrangian are fitted to the physical $\pi,K,\eta,\eta'$ masses, the pion decay…

In this work we study the Unruh temperature as arising from tunneling through a barrier for an observer in flat Minkowski spacetime with arbitrary acceleration $a(t)$. For the defining case of constant acceleration $a(t) = a_0$, the Unruh…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking usually occurs due to the tachyonic (spinodal) instability of a scalar field near the top of its effective potential at $\phi = 0$. Naively, one might expect the field $\phi$ to fall from the top of the…

We study a scale-invariant model of quadratic gravity with a non-minimally coupled scalar field. We focus on cosmological solutions and find that scale invariance is spontaneously broken and a mass scale naturally emerges. Before the…
