The Massive Thermal Basketball Diagram
نویسندگان
چکیده
The “basketball diagram” is a three-loop vacuum diagram for a scalar field theory that cannot be expressed in terms of one-loop diagrams. We calculate this diagram for a massive scalar field at nonzero temperature, reducing it to expressions involving three-dimensional integrals that can be easily evaluated numerically. We use this result to calculate the free energy for a massive scalar field with a φ4 interaction to three-loop order.

The influence of visual contextual information on the emergence of the especial skill in basketball.
We examined whether basketball throwing performance in general and motor skill specificity from the free throw distance in particular are influenced by visual contextual information. Experienced basketball players (N = 36) performed basketball set shots at five distances from the basket. Of particular interest was the performance from the free throw distance (4.23 m), at which experienced baske...
متن کاملInvestigation of the phononic and thermal properties of tungsten disulfide compound using density functional theory (Research Article)
In this paper, the phononic and thermal properties of tungsten disulfide have been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the phonon and thermal properties such as heat capacity and enthalpy. The calculations are performed within the framework of density functional theory by pseudo-potential methood and by Quantum Espresso computational package and their exchange-correlation function...
متن کاملForm Factors and Correlation Functions of the Stress – Energy Tensor in Massive Deformation of the Minimal Models
The magnetic deformation of the Ising Model, the thermal deformations of both the Tricritical Ising Model and the Tricritical Potts Model are governed by an algebraic structure based on the Dynkin diagram associated to the exceptional algebras En (respectively for n = 8, 7, 6). We make use of these underlying structures as well as of the discrete symmetries of the models to compute the matrix e...
