Assuming triviality of the 4-dimensional $\lambda \phi ^4$-theory we compute the effective potential by means of a self consistent Feynman-Bogoliubov method. This potential $U_{eff}^{FB}$ depends on a UV-cutoff, which is fixed by a…
The effective potential for the local composite operator $\phi^{2}(x)$ in $\lambda \phi^{4}$-theory is investigated at finite temperature in an approach based on path-integral linearisation of the $\phi^4 $-interaction. At zero temperature,…
The temperature phase transition in scalar $\phi^4(x)$ field theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking is investigated in a partly resummed perturbative approach. The second Legendre transform is used and the resulting gap equation is…
We construct a non-perturbative method to investigate the phase structure of the scalar theory at finite temperature. The derivative of the effective potential with respect to the mass square is expressed in terms of the full propagator.…
We study the effective potential of a real scalar phi^4 theory as a function of the temperature T within the simplest Phi-derivable approximation, namely the Hartree approximation. We apply renormalization at a "high" temperature T* where…
In this paper the phase structure of the massive $\lambda \phi^4$ model at finite temperature ($T \neq 0$) is investigated by applying a resummation method inspired by the renormalization-group (RG) improvement to the one-loop effective…
The optimized linear $\delta$-expansion is applied to the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory at high temperature. Using the imaginary time formalism the thermal mass is evaluated perturbatively up to order $\delta^2$. A variational procedure…
The temperature phase transition in the N-component scalar field theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking is investigated in the perturbative approach. The second Legendre transform is used together with the consideration of the gap…
We apply the $\delta$-expansion perturbation scheme to the $\lambda \phi_{4}$ self-interacting scalar field theory in 3+1 D at finite temperature. In the $\delta$-expansion the interaction term is written as $\lambda (\phi^{2})^{1 +…
In this paper we discuss and revisit the finite temperature extension of the renormalization group (RG) treatment of $T=0$ field theories, focusing as a case study on the $\phi^4$ model. We first discuss the extension of RG equations of the…
The effective potential for the order parameter $\phi ^{\dagger } \phi$ is investigated in massless $\phi ^{4}$-theory in the presence of magnetic fields at finite temperature. It is found that the first order nature of the phase transition…
Scalar field theory at finite temperature is investigated via an improved renormalization group prescription which provides an effective resummation over all possible non-overlapping higher loop graphs. Explicit analyses for the lambda…
We study, with various methods (standard large N evaluation of the functional integral for the effective potential, solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equations), the high temperature phase transition for the $N$-component $\phi^4$ theory in…
We calculate the finite temperature effective potential of $\lambda\phi^4$ at the two loop order of the 2PPI expansion. This expansion contains all diagrams which remain connected when two lines meeting at the same point are cut and…
$\lambda\varphi^4$ theory at finite temperature suffers from infrared divergences near the temperature at which the symmetry is restored. These divergences are handled using renormalization group methods. Flow equations which use a fiducial…
The thermodynamics of a scalar field with a quartic interaction is studied within the linear delta expansion (LDE) method. Using the imaginary-time formalism the free energy is evaluated up to second order in the LDE. The method generates…
We study the optimized perturbation theory (OPT) at finite temperature, which is a self-consistent resummation method. Firstly, we generalize the idea of the OPT to optimize the coupling constant in lambda phi^4 theory, and give a proof of…
We analyse 4-dimensional massive $\vp^4$ theory at finite temperature T in the imaginary-time formalism. We present a rigorous proof that this quantum field theory is renormalizable, to all orders of the loop expansion. Our main point is to…
We compute the leading and next--to--leading corrections to the finite temperature scalar potential for a 3+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ theory using a systematic $1/N$ expansion. Our approach automatically avoids problems associated with…
We calculate the effective potential of the scalar theory at finite temperature under the super-daisy approximation, after expressing its derivative with respect to mass square in terms of the full propagator. This expression becomes the…
