We calculate the explicit expression of the effective potential in a $\lambda\phi^4$ theory at finite temperature in a static universe for arbitrary spacetime dimensions (2\leq D < 5). To study the combined effects of the temperature and…
The three-loop effective potential of the massless O(N) $\phi^4$ theory is calculated analytically using techniques of dimensional regularization. We see a complete agreement between our result and Jackiw's result obtained only up to…
In this paper, we study $\lambda \phi^4$ scalar field theory defined on the unramified extension of p-adic numbers ${\mathbb Q}_{p^n}$. For different ``space-time'' dimensions $n$, we compute one-loop quantum corrections to the effective…
The effective potential obtained by loop expansion is usually not real in the range of field values explored by its minima during a phase transition. We apply the optimized perturbation theory in a fixed gauge to singlet scalar extensions…
The RG equation for the effective potential in the leading log (LL) approximation is constructed which is valid for an arbitrary scalar field theory in 4 dimensions. The solution to this equation sums up the leading $\log\phi$ contributions…
We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in phi^4_(1+1) using the light-front formulation of the field theory. Since the physical vacuum is always the same as the perturbative vacuum in light-front field theory the fields must develop a…
In this work, we put forward a straightforward and simple approach to construct the low-energy effective field theory (EFT) from a given ultraviolet (UV) full theory by integrating heavy particles out. By calculating the on-shell…
The free energy of a multi-component scalar field theory is considered as a functional W[G,J] of the free correlation function G and an external current J. It obeys non-linear functional differential equations which are turned into…
The solution of the O$(N) \phi^4$ scalar field theory in the broken phase is given in the framework of light cone quantization and a 1/N expansion. It involves the successive building of operator solutions to the equation of motion and…
In the first part of this lecture I will give an introduction to light-cone field theory, focussing on the ``zero mode problem''. In the second part I discuss $\phi^4$-theory in 1+1 dimensions. I will show how the dynamics of the zero modes…
We assume that the noncommutativity starts to be visible continuously from a scale $\Lambda_{NC}$. According to this assumption, a two-loop effective action is derived for noncommutative $\phi^{4}$ and $\phi^{3}$ theories from a Wilsonian…
The strong evidence for the `triviality' of (lambda Phi^4)_4 theory is not incompatible with spontaneous symmetry breaking. Indeed, for a `trivial' theory the effective potential should be given exactly by the classical potential plus the…
We compute the effective action of QED at one loop order for an electric field which points in the $\hat{z}$ direction and depends arbitrarily upon the light cone time coordinate, $x^+ = (x^0 + x^3)/\sqrt{2}$. This calculation generalizes…
We study the thermodynamics of massless phi-fourth theory using screened perturbation theory. In this method, the perturbative expansion is reorganized by adding and subtracting a thermal mass term in the Lagrangian. We calculate the free…
The well-established effective action and effective potential framework from the quantum field theory domain is adapted and successfully applied to classical field theories of the Doi and Peliti type for diffusion controlled reactions.…
We develop an efficient algorithm for evaluating divergent perturbation expansions of field theories in the bare coupling constant g_B for which we possess a finite number L of expansion coefficients plus two more informations: The…
This note provides an extension of the constructive loop vertex expansion to stable interactions of arbitrarily high order, opening the way to many applications. We treat in detail the example of the $(\bar \phi \phi)^p$ field theory in…
The one loop effects of two dimension-six operators on gauge boson self energies are computed within an effective field theory framework. These self energies are translated into effects on precision electroweak observables, and bounds are…
We study the renormalisation of the non-Hermitian $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric scalar field theory with the interaction $\phi^2(i\phi)^\varepsilon$ using the Wilsonian approach and without any expansion in $\varepsilon$. Specifically,…
Massless $\phi^{4}$-theory is investigated in zero and four space-time dimensions. Path-integral linearisation of the $\phi ^{4}$-interaction defines an effective theory, which is investigated in a loop-expansion around the mean field. In…
