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…
The composite operator effective potential is compared with the conventional Dyson-Schwinger method as a calculational tool for (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics. It is found that when the fermion propagator ansatz is put directly…
It is well known that effective potentials can be gauge-dependent while their values at extrema should be gauge-invariant. Unfortunately, establishing this invariance in perturbation theory is not straightforward, since contributions from…
We show that the effective potential for local composite operators is a useful object in studing dynamical symmetry breaking by calculating the effective potential for the local composite operators $\bar{\psi} \psi$ and $\phi^2$ in the…
The method for the recursive calculation of the effective potential is applied successfully in case of weak coupling limit (g tend to zero) to a multidimensional complex cubic potential. In strong-coupling limit (g tend to infinity), the…

In this short paper, we investigate the consequences of observer dependence of the quantum effective potential for an interacting field theory. Specializing to $d+2$ dimensional Euclidean Rindler space, we develop the formalism to calculate…
The Composite Operator Method (COM) is formulated, its internals illustrated in detail and some of its most successful applications reported. COM endorses the emergence, in strongly correlated systems (SCS), of composite operators,…
We generalize to composite operators concepts and techniques which have been successful in proving renormalization of the effective Action in light-cone gauge. Gauge invariant operators can be grouped into classes, closed under…
We study the phenomenon of composite operator renormalization and mixing in systems where time-translational invariance is broken and the evolution is out-of-equilibrium. We show that composite operators mix also through non-local memory…
We derive and discuss a technique for manipulating power series which is complementary to standard procedures. We begin with the translation operator, but we express the operator as an infinite product instead of expanding it as a series…
The gauge dependence problem of the effective action for general gauge theories in the framework of a modified functional renormalization group approach proposed recently is studied. It is shown that the effective action remains…
We extend the OPE-based renormalization algorithm to composite operators with operator mixing, focusing on scalar operators in $\phi^4$ and $\phi^3$ models. Using the OPE of operators with a fundamental field, we show that the $Z$-factors…
We use a toy model to illustrate how to build effective theories for singular potentials. We consider a central attractive 1/r^2 potential perturbed by a 1/r^4 correction. The power-counting rule, an important ingredient of effective…
We show that the long-standing problem of gauge dependence of the effective potential arises due to the factorisation of the determinant of operators, which is invalid when we take the zeta-regularised trace of the operators. We show by…
We set up a method for a recursive calculation of the effective potential which is applied to a cubic potential with imaginary coupling. The result is resummed using variational perturbation theory (VPT), yielding an exponentially fast…
A formalism for the study of highly interacting electronic systems is presented. The proposed scheme is based on two key concepts: composite operators and algebra constraints. Composite field operators, that naturally appear as a…
We consider the one-loop renormalization of dimension four composite operators and the energy-momentum tensor in noncommutative \phi^4 scalar field theory. Proper operator bases are constructed and it is proved that the bare composite…

We consider the multiple products of relevant and marginal scalar composite operators at the Gaussian fixed-point in $D=4$ dimensions. This amounts to perturbative construction of the $\phi^4$ theory where the parameters of the theory are…
