The neutral massless scalar quantum field $\Phi$ in four-dimensional space-time is considered, which is subject to a simple bilinear self-interaction. Is is well-known from renormalization theory that adding a term of the form…
The one-loop effective action for a scalar field defined in the ultrastatic space-time where non standard logarithmic terms in the asymptotic heat-kernel expansion are present, is investigated by a generalisation of zeta-function…
The dynamical map represents a fundamental concept in quantum field theory, providing a solution of the field equations in the Fock space of asymptotic fields. In this paper, we show how to express the dynamical map of a scalar field in the…
Motivated by recent works on the origin of inertial mass, we revisit the relationship between the mass of charged particles and zero-point electromagnetic fields. To this end we first introduce a simple model comprising a scalar field…
We calculate the vacuum (Casimir) energy for a scalar field with $\phi^4$ self-interaction in (1+1) dimensions non perturbatively, i.e., in all orders of the self-interaction. We consider massive and massless fields in a finite box with…
The one-loop effective action in QED at zero and finite temperature is obtained by using the worldline approach. The Feynman rules for the perturbative expansion of the action in the number of derivatives are derived. The general structure…
An effective theory is constructed for the scalar electrodynamics via 2-loop integration over all non-static fields and the screened electric component of the vector-potential. Non-polynomial terms of the action are preserved and included…
We discuss the role of the multiplicative anomaly for a complex scalar field at finite temperature and density. It is argued that physical considerations must be applied to determine which of the many possible expressions for the effective…
In this paper, we systematically study the effective action for non-commutative QED in the static limit at high temperature. When $\theta p^{2}\ll 1$, where $\theta$ represents the magnitude of the parameter for non-commutativity and $p$…
Low-energy effective field theories containing a light scalar field are used extensively in cosmology, but often there is a tension between embedding such theories in a healthy UV completion and achieving a phenomenologically viable…
Our main aim in this self-contained article is at the same time to detail the relationships between the resurgence and the hyperasymptotic theories, and to demonstrate how these theories can be used for an implicit resurgent function. For…
The one-loop effective potential for gauge models in static de Sitter space at finite temperatures is computed by means of the $\zeta$--function method. We found a simple relation which links the effective potentials of gauge and scalar…
The effective field theory approach to high temperature field theory can be used to study the phase transition in theories with spontaneously broken symmetry. I construct a sequence of two effective three--dimensional field theories which…
Symmetry restoration in a theory of a self-interacting charged scalar field at finite temperature and in the presence of an external magnetic field is examined. The effective potential is evaluated nonperturbatively in the context of the…
The anomaly-induced effective action is a useful tool for deriving the contributions coming from quantum effects of massless conformal fields. It is well-known that such corrections in the higher derivative vacuum sector of the…
We derive a new exact evolution equation for the scale dependence of an effective action. The corresponding equation for the effective potential permits a useful truncation. This allows one to deal with the infrared problems of theories…
We consider a possible resummation of subleading effects in two-body systems with a large scattering length as described by a short-range effective field theory (EFT). In particular, we investigate the consequences of a resummation of part…
We re-evaluate the zero point Casimir energy for the case of a massive scalar field in $\mathbf{R}^{1}\times\mathbf{S}^{3}$ space, allowing also for deviations from the standard conformal value $\xi =1/6$, by means of zero temperature zeta…
We study the back reaction effect of massless minimally coupled scalar field at finite temperatures in the background of Einstein universe. Substituting for the vacuum expectation value of the components of the energy-momentum tensor on the…
We investigate Fermi gases at finite temperature for which the in-medium effective mass may not be constant as a function of the density, the temperature, or the chemical potential. We suggest a formalism that separates the terms for which…
