Self-Energies for Interacting Fields with a Compactified Spatial Dimension
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the self-energy of a model with a tri-linear coupling among spinless fields on a manifold with one spatial dimension compactified. The model is considered to be composed by a quantized scalar field interacting with a classical scalar one. In order to improve the compactification we take the quantum field satisfying quasi periodic boundary conditions, which interpolates continuously the periodic and anti-periodic conditions, whilst the background field satisfies periodic boundary conditions. All the calculations are performed in Euclidean coordinates.

One-loop renormalization of a self-interacting scalar field in nonsimply connected spacetimes.
Using the effective potential, we study the one-loop renormalization of a massive self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature in flat manifolds with one or more compactified spatial dimensions. We prove that, owing to the compactification and finite temperature, the renormalized physical parameters of the theory (mass and coupling constant) acquire thermal and topological contributions....
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking for Bosonic Systems on Orbifolds
We discuss a general class of boundary conditions for bosons living in an extra spatial dimension compactified on S/Z2. Discontinuities for both fields and their first derivatives are allowed at the orbifold fixed points. We analyze examples with free scalar fields and interacting gauge vector bosons, deriving the mass spectrum, that depends on a combination of the twist and the jumps. We discu...
متن کاملSOME POINTS ON CASIMIR FORCES
Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...
متن کاملStandard model with compactified spatial dimensions
The standard model coupled to gravity has a unique fourdimensional vacuum. Nevertheless, in case of one spatial dimension compactified on a circle [1], or for two spatial dimensions compactified on a 2-torus, it has recently been shown that there may also exist lower-dimensional vacua stabilized by the Casimir energies of the standard model particles with the lowest mass, i.e., gravitons, photo...
متن کاملAnomalous Scale Dimensions from Timelike Braiding
Using the previously gained insight about the particle/field relation in conformal quantum field theories which required interactions to be related to the existence of particle-like states associated with fields of anomalous scaling dimensions, we set out to construct a classification theory for the spectra of anomalous dimensions. Starting from the old observations on conformal superselection ...
