By combining the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) effective action common in non-equilibrium quantum field theory with the classical Martin-Siggia-Rose formalism, self-consistent equations of motion for the first and second cumulants of…
Approximations based on two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective actions (also known as $\Phi$-derivable, Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis or Luttinger-Ward functionals depending on context) have been widely used in condensed matter and…
Nonperturbative approximation schemes are inevitable even in weakly coupled theories if the nonequilibrium behavior of quantum fields is investigated. The two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action formalism provides an efficient…
We discuss the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action for the SYK model and for tensor field theories. For the SYK model the 2PI effective action reproduces the bilocal reformulation of the model without using replicas. In general…
It is well known that perturbative pressure calculations show poor convergence. Calculations using a two particle irreducible (2PI) effective action show improved convergence at the 3 loop level, but no calculations have been done at 4…
We show that the lowest nontrivial truncation of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action correctly determines transport coefficients in a weak coupling or 1/N expansion at leading (logarithmic) order in several relativistic…
We discuss the application of two-particle-irreducible (2PI) functional techniques to gauge theories, focusing on the issue of non-perturbative renormalization. In particular, we show how to renormalize the photon and fermion propagators of…
We investigate beyond-mean-field dynamics in a fully connected $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ spin-exchange model, focusing on the interplay between chaotic dynamics and quantum fluctuations. Using the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action…
We present an explicit treatment of the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) effective action for a zero-dimensional quantum field theory. The advantage of this simple playground is that we are required to deal only with functions rather than…
Nonperturbative approximation schemes based on two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective actions provide an important means for our current understanding of (non-)equilibrium quantum field theory. A remarkable property is their…
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 propose new approach for treatment of local and non-local interactions in correlated electronic systems, which uses self-energy and the two-particle irreducible vertices, obtained from (extended) dynamical mean-field theory, as an input…
We derive the quantum effective action up to second order in gradients and up to two-loop order for an interacting scalar field theory. This expansion of the effective action is useful to study problems in cosmological settings where…
A loop or coupling expansion of a so-called n-particle irreducible (nPI) generating functional provides a well-defined approximation scheme in terms of self-consistently dressed propagators and n-point vertices. A self-consistently complete…
We construct one- and two-particle irreducible (1PI and 2PI) effective actions for the stochastic fluid dynamics of a conserved density undergoing diffusive motion. We compute the 1PI action at one-loop order, and the 2PI action in two-loop…
We combine two non-perturbative approaches, one based on the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) action, the other on the functional renormalization group (fRG), in an effort to develop new non-perturbative approximations for the field…
The problem of maintaining gauge invariance when truncating the two particle irreducible (2PI) effective action has been studied recently by several authors. Here we give a simple and very general derivation of the gauge dependence…
Motivated by isotropization of QCD matter in the initial stages of heavy-ion collisions, we consider a system of scalar fields that undergoes a boost invariant longitudinal expansion. We use the framework of the two-particle irreducible…
We study the effective interactions of external electromagnetic fields induced by fluctuations of virtual particles in the vacuum of quantum electrodynamics. Our main focus is on these interactions at two-loop order. We discuss in detail…
The effective potential of the Standard Model (SM), from three loop order and higher, suffers from infra-red (IR) divergences arising from quantum effects due to massless would-be Goldstone bosons associated with the longitudinal…
