New method to calculate then-particle irreducible effective action

n-Particle irreducible effective action techniques for gauge theories

A loop or coupling expansion of a so-called n-particle irreducible (nPI) generating functional provides a well-defined approximation scheme in terms of self-consistently dressed propagators and n-point vertices. A self-consistently complete description determines the functional for arbitrarily high n to a given order in the expansion. We point out an equivalence hierarchy for nPI effective acti...

A New Method to Calculate the Absolute Amount of High-Pressure Adsorption of Supercritical Fluid

In the paper we developed a new method to determine the absolute amount of adsorption. This method relies on the excess adsorption isotherm and the density profile in the pore of one material. To compute the density profile and decrease complex calculation of obtaining the absolute amount of adsorption we introduced Simplified Local-Density (SLD) model. A few of appropriate parameters were ...

New Nonlocal Effective Action

We suggest a new method for the calculation of the nonlocal part of the effective action. It is based on the resummation of the perturbation series for the heat kernel and its functional trace at large values of the proper time parameter. We derive a new, essentially nonperturbative, nonlocal contribution to the effective action in spacetimes with dimensions d > 2.

Effective Action Approach to Heavy Particle Contributions and Wilsonian Renormalization

We work in theories with both light and heavy particles. A method to obtain an effective low energy action with respect to the light particle is presented. Thanks to Wilsonian renormalization, we obtain effective actions with finite number of local operators describing possible non-decoupling effects of heavy particles. The validity of the method is first checked by explicit computation of a sp...
