Multi-particle States from the Effective Action for Local Composite Operators: Anharmonic Oscillator
نویسنده
چکیده
The effective action for the local composite operator Φ2(x) in the scalar quantum field theory with λΦ4 interaction is obtained in the expansion in two-particle-point-irreducible (2PPI) diagrams up to fiveloops. The effective potential and 2-point Green’s functions for elementary and composite fields are derived. The ground state energy as well as oneand two-particle excitations are calculated for spacetime dimension n = 1, when the theory is equivalent to the quantum mechanics of an anharmonic oscillator. The agreement with the exact spectrum of the oscillator is much better than that obtained within the perturbation theory.

The Effective Action for Local Composite Operators Φ(x) and Φ(x)
The generating functionals for the local composite operators, Φ2(x) and Φ4(x), are used to study excitations in the scalar quantum field theory with λΦ4 interaction. The effective action for the composite operators is obtained as a series in the Planck constant h̄, and the twoand four-particle propagators are derived. The numerical results are studied in the space-time of one dimension, when the...
متن کاملThe Finite Temperature Effective Potential for Local Composite Operators
The method of the effective action for the composite operators Φ2(x) and Φ4(x) is applied to the termodynamics of the scalar quantum field with λΦ4 interaction. An expansion of the finite temperature effective potential in powers of h̄ provides successive approximations to the free energy with an effective mass and an effective coupling determined by the gap equations. The numerical results are ...
متن کاملPseudospectra, the Harmonic Oscillator and Complex Resonances
We prove that non-self-adjoint harmonic and anharmonic oscillator operators have non-trivial pseudospectra. As a consequence, the computation of high energy resonances by the dilation analyticity technique is not numerically stable.
متن کاملHolographic Normal Ordering and Multi - particle States in the AdS / CFT Correspondence
The general correlator of composite operators of N=4 supersymmetric gauge field theory is divergent. We introduce a means for renormalizing these correlators by adding a boundary theory on the AdS space correcting for the divergences. Such renormalizations are not equivalent to the standard normal ordering of current algebras in two dimensions. The correlators contain contact terms that contrib...
متن کاملHarmonically coupled, anharmonic oscillator model for the bending modesof acetylene
The harmonically coupled anharmonic oscillator model developed by Child and co-workers is extended to treat the coupling of two doubly degenerate “local benders” as may be expected in acetylene. This effective Hamiltonian is transformed to the normal mode representation and a set of “x-K ” relations derived that relate the anharmonic and Darling-Dennison-type resonance terms to the diagonal loc...
