We investigate the symmetry properties for Baym's $\Phi$-derivable schemes. We show that in general the solutions of the dynamical equations of motion, derived from approximations of the $\Phi$-functional, do not fulfill the Ward-Takahashi…
A concise method is presented for the non-perturbative computation of the counterterms renormalising 2PI-actions. The procedure is presented for a real scalar field up to lambda^2 order in the skeleton truncation of Gamma_2PI with respect…
The nonequilibrium time evolution of a quantum dot is studied by means of dynamic equations for time-dependent Greens functions derived from a two-particle-irreducible (2PI) effective action for the Anderson impurity model. Coupling the dot…
Explicit counterterm construction is presented in a symmetry breaking background for the 2PI effective action of the self-interacting one-component scalar field including skeleton diagrams to O(\lambda^2). The applied strategy is an…
We work with $\phi^4$ theory and study the 4PI effective action at 3-loop order. We discuss the relationship between the equations of motion obtained by taking functional derivatives of the effective action with respect to the variational…
Reliable approximations for correlation functions at intermediate and strong coupling remain hard to obtain for general quantum field theories. Perturbative expansions are often asymptotic or have a finite radius of convergence, which…
Recently, out-of-equilibrium field theory has been studied using approximations based on truncations of the 2PI effective action. Although results are promising, the convergence of subsequent orders of the approximation is difficult to get…
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…
The infrared effects for light minimally coupled scalar fields with quartic self-interaction in de Sitter space is investigated using the 2PI effective action formalism. This formalism partially resums infinite series of loop diagrams, and…
In this paper we show that the skeleton diagrams in the m-Loop nPI effective action correspond to an infinite resummation of perturbative diagrams which is void of double counting at the m-Loop level. We also show that the variational…
I review the use of the 2PI effective action in nonequilibrium quantum field theory. The approach enables one to find approximation schemes which circumvent long-standing problems of non-thermal or secular (unbounded) late-time evolutions…
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 summarize our recent work [1-3] concerning the formulation of two-particle-irreducible (2PI) functional techniques for abelian gauge field theories.
The 1/N expansion of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action is employed to compute universal properties at the second-order phase transition of an O(N)-symmetric N-vector model directly in three dimensions. At next-to-leading…
We discuss the formulation of the prototype gauge field theory, QED, in the context of two-particle-irreducible (2PI) functional techniques with particular emphasis on the issues of renormalization and gauge symmetry. We show how to…
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…
A two-particle self-consistency is rarely part of mean-field theories. It is, however, essential for avoiding spurious critical transitions and unphysical behavior. We present a general scheme for constructing analytically controllable…
We compute thermodynamic properties of dilute Bose gases using non-perturbative approximations of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action. It is shown how to systematically renormalise the self-consistent descriptions beyond…
We derive an alternative to the Wetterich-Morris-Ellwanger equation by means of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action, exploiting the method of external sources due to Garbrecht and Millington. The latter allows the two-point…
We present a detailed derivation of the quantum and quantum-thermal effective action for non-relativistic systems, starting from the single particle case and extending to the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) field theory for weakly interacting bosons.…
