There are various types of motion of a heavy symmetric top like regular precession, cusp like motion, rise of the top, etc. One of the tools used to understand that motion is effective potential. The effective potential for a spinning heavy…

In the SU(5)/SO(5) little Higgs models radiative corrections give rise to the SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y symmetry breaking. In this work we start a program for a detailed determination of the relevant terms of the Higgs effective potential by…

Recent lattice data for the effective potential of lambda Phi^4 theory fits the massless one-loop formula with amazing precision. Any corrections are at least 100 times smaller than is reasonable, perturbatively. This is strong evidence for…
The classical approximation provides a non-perturbative approach to time-dependent problems in finite temperature field theory. We study the divergences in hot classical field theory perturbatively. At one-loop, we show that the linear…
We discuss the use of derivative expansion techniques for the construction of thermal effective potentials. We present a theory for which the thermal bubble is analytic at the origin of the momentum-frequency space, although the internal…

The renormalization of effective potential for the noncommutative scalar field theory is investigated to the two-loop approximation. It is seen that the nonplanar diagram does not appear in the one-loop potential. However, nonplanar diagram…

In order to investigate the nature of the phase transition, we study the finite temperature effective potential for the $\lambda \Phi^4$ theory in the Hartree-Fock approximation, which sums up all the daisy and superdaisy diagrams.
