We demonstrate that in the absence of `matter' fields to all orders of perturbation theory and for all 2D dilaton theories the quantum effective action coincides with the classical one. This resolves the apparent contradiction between the…

We consider a general two-dimensional gravity model minimally or nonminimally coupled to a scalar field. The canonical form of the model is elucidated, and a general solution of the equations of motion in the massless case is reviewed. In…

Graviton-dilaton background field equations in three space-time dimensions, following from the string effective action are solved when the metric has only time dependence. By taking one of the two space dimensions as compact, our solution…

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.…

This paper applies $\zeta$-function regularization to evaluate the 1-loop effective action for scalar field theories and Euclidean Maxwell theory in the presence of boundaries. After a comparison of two techniques developed in the recent…

By making use of the background field method, the one-loop quantization for Euclidean Einstein-Weyl quadratic gravity model on the de Sitter universe is investigated. Using generalized zeta function regularization, the on-shell and…

The thermodynamics of pure glue theories can be described in terms of an effective action for the Polyakov loop. This effective action is of the Landau-Ginzburg type and its variables are the angles parametrizing the loop. In this paper we…

We study the decoupling effects in N=1 (global) supersymmetric theories with chiral superfields at the one-loop level. The examples of gauge neutral chiral superfields with the minimal (renormalizable) as well as non-minimal (non-…

The response of the one loop effective action for a gauge theory with local couplings $g(x),\theta(x)$ under a local Weyl rescaling of the background metric is calculated. Apart from terms which may be removed by local contributions to the…

A method is presented for the computation of the one-loop effective action at finite temperature and density. The method is based on an expansion in the number of spatial covariant derivatives. It applies to general background field…

We review the approach to calculation of one-loop effective action in ${\cal N}=2,4$ SYM theories. We compute the non-holomorphic corrections to low-energy effective action (higher derivative terms) in ${\cal N}=2$, SU(2) SYM theory coupled…

We consider the solutions of the field equations for the large $N$ dilaton gravity model in $1+1$ dimensions recently proposed by Callan, Giddings, Harvey and Strominger (CGHS). We find time dependant solutions with finite mass and…

We study the cosmological solutions of the one loop corrected superstring effective action, in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background, and in the presence of the dilaton and modulus fields. A particularly interesting class of solutions is…

Taking advantage of the representation of dilatonic gravity with the $R^2$-term under the form of low-derivative dilatonic gravity coupled to an additional scalar, we construct a general renormalizable model motivated by this theory. Exact…

We clarify the structure of the four-dimensional low-energy effective action that encodes the conformal and $U(1)$ R-symmetry anomalies in an $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric field theory. The action depends on the dilaton, $\tau$, associated…

We study the Schwinger mechanism by a uniform electric field in ${\rm dS}_2$ and ${\rm AdS}_2$ and the curvature effect on the Schwinger effect, and further propose a thermal interpretation of the Schwinger formula in terms of the…

We use a recently derived integral representation of the one-loop effective action in Einstein-Maxwell theory for an explicit calculation of the part of the effective action containing the information on the low energy limit of the…

We suggest how to derive the exact (all order in $\a'$) expressions for the background fields for string solutions corresponding to gauged WZW models directly at the $2d$ field theory level. One is first to replace the classical gauged WZW…

We investigate the canonical equivalence of a matter-coupled 2D dilaton gravity theory defined by the action functional $S = \int d^2x \sqrt{-g} (R\phi + V(\phi) - 1/2 H(\phi ) (\nablaf)^2)$, and a free field theory. When the scalar field…

We use the background field method along with a special gauge condition, to derive the hard thermal loop effective action in a simple manner. The new point in the paper is to relate the effective action explicitly to the S-matrix from the…
