We study the effective potential of a real scalar phi^4 theory as a function of the temperature T within the simplest Phi-derivable approximation, namely the Hartree approximation. We apply renormalization at a "high" temperature T* where…

We discuss the thermodynamics of the O(N) model across the corresponding phase transition using the two-loop Phi-derivable approximation of the effective potential and compare our results to those obtained in the literature within the…

The renormalization of a gapless Phi-derivable Hartree--Fock approximation to the O(N)-symmetric lambda*phi^4 theory is considered in the spontaneously broken phase. This kind of approach was proposed by three of us in a previous paper in…

The set of coupled equations for the self-consistent propagator and the field expectation value is solved numerically with high accuracy in Euclidean space at zero temperature and in the broken symmetry phase of the phi^4 model. Explicitly…

We consider the out-of-equilibrium evolution of a classical condensate field $\phi=<\Phi>$ and its quantum fluctuations for a $\Phi^4$ model in 1+1 dimensions with a double well potential. We use the two-particle point-irreducible (2PPI)…

Non-perturbative renormalisation of a general class of scalar field theories is performed at the Hartree level truncation of the 2PI effective action in the broken symmetry regime. Renormalised equations are explicitly constructed for the…

The light-front Hamiltonian formulation for the scalar field theory contains a new ingredient in the form of a constraint equation. Renormalization of the two dimensional $\phi^{4}$ theory, described in the continuum, is discussed. The mass…

We show how the linear delta expansion, as applied to the slow-roll transition in quantum mechanics, can be recast in the closed time-path formalism. This results in simpler, explicit expressions than were obtained in the Schr\"odinger…

The basic tool for the study of the electroweak phase transition is $V_{eff} (\phi,T)$, the one-loop finite-temperature effective potential, improved by all-loop resummations of the most important infrared contributions. In this paper we…

In this thesis the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) formalism is investigated with several applications, particular emphasis on renormalizability. In the O(N) symmetric scalar quantum field theory formulated with auxiliary fields it is…

Nonperturbative renormalization and explicit construction of the effective potential of the Hartree approximation of the two-particle-irreducible formalism are carried out in an inhomogeneous field configuration describing a uniform…

We present on shell-scheme for the 2PI formalism with a particular focus on the renormalized equations of motion. We first revisit the so-called Hartree approximation where we give the counterterms for both the broken and unbroken phase.…

We perform a detailed numerical investigation of the dynamics of broken symmetry $\lambda \phi^4$ field theory in 1+1 dimensions using a Schwinger-Dyson equation truncation scheme based on ignoring vertex corrections. In an earlier paper,…

We construct a non-perturbative method to investigate the phase structure of the scalar theory at finite temperature. The derivative of the effective potential with respect to the mass square is expressed in terms of the full propagator.…

Using standard numerical Monte Carlo lattice methods, we study non-universal properties of the phase transition of three-dimensional phi^4 theory of a 2-component real field phi = (phi_1,phi_2) with O(2) symmetry. Specifically, we extract…

We have considered phi^4 theory in higher dimensions. Using functional diagrammatic approach, we computed the one-loop correction to effective potential of the scalar field in five dimensions. It is shown that phi^4 theory can be…

We present an analytical and numerical study of scalar phi^4 theory at finite temperature with a renormalized 2-loop truncation of the 2PI effective action.

We consider a theory of a scalar one-component field $\phi$ coupled to a scalar $N$-component field $\chi$. Using large $N$ techiques we calculate the effective potential in the leading order in $1/N$. We show that this is equivalent to a…

We consider the out-of-equilibrium evolution of a classical condensate field and its quantum fluctuations for a Phi**4 model in 1+1 dimensions with a symmetric and a double well potential. We use the 2PPI formalism and go beyond the Hartree…

We study the thermal phase transitions of a generic real scalar field, without a $Z_2$-symmetry, referred to variously as an inert, sterile or singlet scalar, or $\phi^3+\phi^4$ theory. Such a scalar field arises in a wide range of models,…
