Retarded field of a uniformly accelerated source in nonlocal scalar field theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the retarded field sourced by a uniformly accelerated particle in nonlocal scalar theory. While presence of nonlocality regularizes at location source, we also show that Lorentz-invariant theories are particularly sensitive to somewhat unphysical assumption uniform acceleration, leading logarithmic divergences on acceleration horizon. Analytic properties Green function indicate can be removed placing appropriate sources horizon asymptotic past.

Source Galerkin Calculations in Scalar Field Theory
In this paper, we extend previous work on scalar φ theory using the Source Galerkin method. This approach is based on finding solutions Z[J ] to the lattice functional equations for field theories in the presence of an external source J . Using polynomial expansions for the generating functional Z, we calculate propagators and mass-gaps for a number of systems. These calculations are straightfo...
متن کاملQuantum field and uniformly accelerated oscillator
We present an exact treatment of the influences on a quantum scalar field in its Minkowski vacuum state induced by coupling of the field to a uniformly accelerated harmonic oscillator. We show that there are no radiation from the oscillator in the point of view of a uniformly accelerating observer. On the other hand, there are radiations in the point of view of an inertial observer. It is shown...
متن کاملMass Generation of Nonlocal Field Theory
The possibility is investigated that a nonlocal formulation of gauge theories may provide an alternative mechanism for the generation of mass. For this purpose, a path-integral approach is used, with gauge-averaging term leading to an invertible integro-differential operator on field disturbances and to a mass term in the semiclassical Lagrangian. It is therefore shown that suitable choices of ...
متن کاملComputer Stochastics in Scalar Quantum Field Theory
This is a series of lectures on Monte Carlo results on the non-perturbative, lattice formulation approach to quantum field theory. Emphasis is put on 4D scalar quantum field theory. I discuss real space renormalization group, fixed point properties and logarithmic corrections, partition function zeroes, the triviality bound on the Higgs mass, finite size effects, Goldstone bosons and chiral per...
متن کاملScalar Field Theory in the Derivative Expansion
The quantum correlations of scalar fields are examined as a power series in derivatives. Recursive algebraic equations are derived and determine the amplitudes; all loop integrations are performed. This recursion contains the same information as the usual loop expansion. The approach is pragmatic and generalizable to most quantum field theories.
