Optimized Perturbation Theory at Finite Temperature Two-Loop Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the optimized perturbation theory (OPT) at finite temperature, which is a selfconsistent resummation method. Firstly, we generalize the idea of the OPT to optimize the coupling constant in λφ theory, and give a proof of the renormalizability of this generalized OPT. Secondly, the principle of minimal sensitivity and the criterion of the fastest apparent convergence, which are conditions to determine the optimal parameter values, are examined in λφ theory. Both conditions exhibit a second-order transition at finite temperature with critical exponent β = 0.5 in the two-loop approximation.

Dimensionally reduced U(1)+Higgs theory in the broken phase
We apply dimensional reduction to the finite temperature U(1)+Higgs theory and study the properties of the reduced 3-dimensional theory in the broken phase using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. We compute analytically the scalar condensate in optimized 2-loop perturbation theory and the correlators in 1-loop perturbation theory. These quantities are also calculated numerically. The two results...
متن کاملChiral Perturbation Theory Beyond One Loop
The existing Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) calculations at order p6 are reviewed. The principles of ChPT and how they are used are introduced. The main part is a review of the twoand three-flavour full two-loop calculations and their comparison with experiment. We restrict the discussion to the mesonic purely strong and semileptonic sector. The review concludes by mentioning the existing re...
متن کاملEffective Potential for Polyakov Loops in Lattice QCD
Precise measurement of Polyakov loop correlation is important for finite temperature physics. First of all heavy quark potentials at finite temperature are obtained by measuring twoPolyakov-loop correlation functions. It is already well-known that we can obtain the QQ̄ potential below and above the critical temperature (TC) from this measurement. Due to the nonperturbative effects, however, ther...
متن کاملOptimized Perturbation Theory at Finite Temperature
An optimized perturbation theory (OPT) at finite temperature T , which resums higher order terms in the naive perturbation, is developed in O(N) φ theory. It is proved that (i) the renormalization of the ultra-violet divergences can be carried out systematically in any given order of OPT, and (ii) the Nambu-Goldstone theorem is fulfilled for arbitrary N and for any given order of OPT. The metho...
متن کاملSU(5)+Adjoint Higgs Model at Finite Temperature
A three-dimensional effective theory of the finite-temperature SU(5)+Adjoint Higgs -model is constructed using the method of dimensional reduction. The resulting theory can be used for computer simulations of the GUT phase transition of the early universe. In this paper the transition is analysed at two-loop level in perturbation theory. The structure of the effective theory does not essentiall...
