The goal of this paper is to develop the formalism of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) \cite{LW61} (or Cornwall - Jackiw - Tomboulis (CJT) \cite {CJT}) effective action (EA) in a way appropiate to its application to non equilibrium gauge…
We derive a new recursion relation to obtain the Feynman diagrams of the Cornwall-Jackiw-Toumboulis(CJT) effective action by using the functional derivative identities. By using this recursion relation we show the…
We apply the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) formalism to the scalar $\lambda \phi^{4}$ theory in canonical-noncommutative spacetime. We construct the CJT effective potential and the gap equation for general values of the noncommutative…

The effective action for hard thermal loops in QCD is related to a gauged WZNW theory. Some of the technical issues of this approach are clarified and the Hamiltonian formulation is presented. The two-point correlation function for the…
We propose a novel method of evaluating the effective action, wherein the physical one- and two-point functions are obtained in the limit of non-vanishing external sources. We illustrate the self-consistency of this method by recovering the…
The formalism introduced by Cornwall, Jackiw and Tomboulis (CJT) provides a systematic approach to consistently resumming non-perturbative effects in Quantum Thermal Field Theory. One major limitation of the CJT effective action is that its…
We introduce a categorical approach to classifying actions of C$^*$-tensor categories $\mathcal{C}$ on C$^*$-algebras up to cocycle conjugacy. We show that, in this category, inductive limits exist and there is a natural notion of…
The Wilson (exact) renormalization group equations are used to determine the evolution of a general low energy N=1 supersymmetric action containing a U(1) gauge vector multiplet and a neutral chiral multiplet. The effective theory evolves…

One-loop effective action of noncommutative scalar field theory with cubic self-interaction is studied. Utilizing worldline formulation, both planar and nonplanar part of the effective action are computed explicitly. We find complete…
The explicit expression of all the WZW effective actions for a simple group G broken down to a subgroup H is established in a simple and direct way, and the formal similarity of these actions to the Chern-Simons forms is explained.…
We present a formalism to determine the imaginary part of a general chiral model in the derivative expansion. Our formalism is based on the worldline path integral for the covariant current that can be given in an explicit chiral and gauge…
Recently, a general result for evaluating the path integral at one loop was obtained in the form of the Universal One-Loop Effective Action. It may be used to derive effective field theory operators of dimensions up to six, by evaluating…

Wilsonian effective actions are interpreted as free energies in ensembles with prescribed field expectation values and prescribed connected two-point functions. Since such free energies are directly obtained from two-particle-irreducible…
Recently, Hoshina, Fujii, and Kikukawa pointed out that the naive lattice gauge theory action in Minkowski signature does not result in a unitary theory in the continuum limit, and Kanwar and Wagman proposed alternative lattice actions to…
