We compute the effective actions for the 0+1 dimensional scalar field interacting with an Abelian gauge background, as well as for its supersymmetric generalization at finite temperature.
We calculate the one loop effective potential for a 5D SU(2) gauge field theory at finite temperature $T=1/\beta$ and radius R=1/M. This calculation is performed, for the first time, in the case of background fields with two constant…
We study the screening of static electric fields in massless scalar electrodynamics at high temperature and zero chemical potential. Effective field theory methods are used to separate the contributions from the momentum scales T and eT to…
Five-dimensional $SU(3)$ gauge-Higgs unification models are studied at finite temperature in the warped extra dimension $S^1/\mathbb{Z}_2$. In order to investigate the phase structure, we developed a technique to compute the one-loop…
We study a generalization of the Gaussian effective potential for self-interacting scalar fields in one and two spatial dimensions. We compute the two-loop corrections and discuss the renormalization of the generalized Gaussian effective…
Simple representation for the average value of the W-boson one-loop polarization tensor in a magnetic field B=const, calculated in the ground state of the tree-level spectrum, is derived. It corresponds to Demeur's formula for electron in…
The perturbatively calculable short distance QCD potential is known to two loops including the effect of massive quarks. Recently, a simple approximate solution in momentum space was utilized to obtain the potential in coordinate space. The…
We calculate a two-loop effective potential to the order of {\cal O}(\lambda_t^2\alpha_s) in the MSSM. We then study the corresponding two-loop corrections to the CP-even Higgs-boson mass for arbitrary \tan\beta and left-right top-squark…
The problem of calculating the effective potential for a real scalar field with a double--well potential is a possible preliminary to understanding symmetry breaking phase transitions in the early universe. It is argued here that it is…
We develop exact, simple closed form expressions for partition functions associated with relativistic bosons and fermions in odd spatial dimensions. These expressions, valid at high temperature, include the effects of a non-trivial Polyakov…
We examine the validity of the 1-loop approximation to the effective potential at finite temperatures and present a simple test for its reliability. As an application we study the standard electroweak potential, showing that for a Higgs…
We propose a numerical technique for calculating effective actions of electromagnetic backgrounds based on the worldline formalism. As a conceptually simple example, we consider scalar electrodynamics in three dimensions to one-loop order.…
In order to investigate the Higgs mechanism nonperturbatively, we compute the Gaussian effective potential (GEP) of the U(1) Higgs model ("scalar electrodynamics"). We show that the same simple result is obtained in three different…
We analytically study the quantum phase diagrams of ultracold dipolar Bose gases in an optical square lattice at zero temperature by using the generalized effective-potential Landau theory (GEPLT). For a weak nearest-neighbor repulsion, our…
We extend the entanglement entropy calculation performed in the seminal paper by Srednicki for free real massive scalar field theories in 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. We show that the inverse of the scalar field mass can be used as an…
We solve the one loop effective scalar field equations for spatial plane waves in massless, minimally coupled scalar quantum electrodynamics on a locally de Sitter background. The computation is done in two different gauges: a non-de Sitter…
Finite temperature corrections to the effective potential and the energy-momentum tensor of a scalar field are computed in a perturbed Minkoswki space-time. We consider the explicit mode decomposition of the field in the perturbed geometry…
In this work, the particle number projection at finite temperature is incorporated into self-consistent Skyrme density functional calculations. In particular, the energies of compound nuclei as a function of deformations are calculated…
Massless scalar electrodynamics is studied at high temperature and zero chemical potential. I derive the free energy to order $\lambda^2$, $\lambda e^2$ and $e^4$ by effective field theory methods. The first step consists of the…
The explicit expressions for the high-temperature expansions of the one-loop corrections to the omega-potential coming from charged scalar and Dirac particles and, separately, from antiparticles in a constant homogeneous magnetic field are…
