Singular potentials (the inverse-square potential, for example) arise in many situations and their quantum treatment leads to well-known ambiguities in choosing boundary conditions for the wave-function at the position of the potential's…

We consider the Renormalization-Group coupled equations for the effective potential V(\phi) and the field strength Z(\phi) in the spontaneously broken phase as a function of the infrared cutoff momentum k. In the k \to 0 limit, the…
We present a formalism for local composite operators. The corresponding effective potential is unique, multiplicatively renormalizable, it is the sum of 1PI diagrams and can be interpreted as an energy-density. First we apply this method to…

There are reasons to believe that the Standard Model is only an effective theory, with new Physics lying beyond it. Supersymmetric extensions are one possibility: they address some of the Standard Model's shortcomings, such as the…
Branchina et al and Consoli have recently shown that the one-loop effective potential (1LEP) of massless lambda-phi**4 theory can be renormalized in two distinct ways. One of these is the conventional renormalization of Coleman and…
Using the method of renormalization group, we improve the two-loop effective potential of the massive $\phi^4$ theory to obtain the next-next-to-leading logarithm correction in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme. Our result well reproduces the…
The renormalization group (RG) is used in order to obtain the RG improved effective potential in curved spacetime. This potential is explicitly calculated for the Yukawa model and for scalar electrodynamics, i.e. theories with several…
Previously proposed procedure for improving the effective potential by using renormalization group equation (RGE) is generalized so as to be applicable to any system containing several different mass scales. If one knows L-loop effective…
We study constraint effective potentials for various strongly interacting $\phi^4$ theories. Renormalization group (RG) equations for these quantities are discussed and a heuristic development of a commonly used RG approximation is…
We review the calculation of the the effective potential with particular emphasis on cases when the tree potential or the renormalisation-group-improved, radiatively corrected potential exhibits non-convex behaviour. We illustrate this in a…
The perturbative effective potential V in the massless $\lambda\phi^4$ model with a global O(N) symmetry is uniquely determined to all orders by the renormalization group functions alone when the Coleman-Weinberg renormalization condition…
We apply the exact renormalization group formalism to compute the effective action and potential of the four dimensional O$(N)$ linear sigma model in large $N$. With a finite momentum cutoff in place, the model is well defined. In the naive…
In the context of MSSM, a novel improving procedure based on the renormalization group equation is applied to the effective potential in the Higgs sector. We focus on the one-loop radiative corrections computed in Landau gauge by using the…
We present a new method for renormalisation group improvement of the effective potential of a quantum field theory with an arbitrary number of scalar fields. The method amounts to solving the renormalisation group equation for the effective…
We investigate the role of inhomogeneous field configurations in systems with a spontaneously broken continuous global symmetry. Spontaneous breaking is usually defined as a specific double limit, first infinite volume at finite explicit…

We consider the effective potential $V$ in the standard model with a single Higgs doublet in the limit that the only mass scale $\mu$ present is radiatively generated. Using a technique that has been shown to determine $V$ completely in…
