A Functional Integral Equation for the Complete Effective Action in Quantum Field Theory
Based on a methodological analysis of the effective action approach certain conceptual foundations of quantum field theory are reconsidered to establish a quest for an equation for the effective action. Relying on the functional integral formulation of Lagrangian quantum field theory a functional integral equation for the complete effective action is proposed which can be understood as a certai...
متن کاملEffective Average Action in Statistical Physics and Quantum Field Theory
An exact renormalization group equation describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. It interpolates between the microphysical laws and the complex macroscopic phenomena. We present a simple unified description of critical phenomena for O(N)-symmetric scalar models in two, three or four dimensions, including essential scaling for the...
متن کاملHidden Massive Spectators in the Effective Field Theory for Integral Quantum Hall Transitions
Integral quantum Hall plateau transitions in a planar lattice system due to gap collapse can be described by an effective field theory with Dirac fermions. We discuss how to reproduce the correct integral values for the Hall conductance, σxy, before and after the plateau transition, which are dictated by the microscopic topological invariant. In addition to the massless Dirac fermions that appe...
متن کاملFractional Quantum Field Theory, Path Integral, and Stochastic Differential Equation for Strongly Interacting Many-Particle Systems
While free and weakly interacting particles are well described by a second-quantized nonlinear Schrödinger field, or relativistic versions of it, with various approximations, the fields of strongly interacting particles are governed by effective actions, whose quadratic terms are extremized by fractional wave equations. Their particle orbits perform universal Lévy walks rather than Gaussian ran...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory for the Anisotropic Wilson Lattice Action
Abstract We construct the effective field theory appropriate for describing the low energy behavior of anisotropic Wilson lattice actions and the O(a) improved variant thereof. We then apply this effective field theory to the hadron spectrum and dispersion relations, focussing on the corrections due to the anisotropy. We point out an important feature of anisotropic lattices regarding the Aoki-...
