Questions of the following sort are addressed: Does a given Lie group or Lie algebra act effectively on a given manifold? How smooth can such actions be? What fxed-point sets are possible? What happens under perturbations? Old results are…
Functional methods and a derivative expansion are employed for laying out a procedure to compute the effective action to any loop order, for scalar fields parametrising an arbitrary Riemannian manifold, while maintaining explicit…
We first note that, at least in perturbation theory, there is a well-defined (subject to regularization) Lorentzian definition of the quantum effective action in both flat and curved space including (perturbative) gravity. The advantage of…
