Oscillator Representation Method

We established a resummed formula for the effective potential of [Formula: see text] scalar field theory that can mimic the true effective potential not only at the critical region but also at any point in the coupling space. We first extend the effective potential from the oscillator representation method, perturbatively, up to g3 order. We supplement perturbations by the use of a resummation algorithm, originally due to Kleinert, Thoms and Janke, which has the privilege of using the strong coupling as well as the large coupling behaviors rather than the conventional resummation techniques which use only the large order behavior. Accordingly, although the perturbation series available is up to g3 order, we found a good agreement between our resummed effective potential and the well-known features from constructive field theory. The resummed effective potential agrees well with the constructive field theory results concerning existing and order of phase transition in the absence of an external magnetic field. In the presence of the external magnetic field, as in magnetic systems, the effective potential shows nonexistence of phase transition and gives the behavior of the vacuum condensate as a monotonic increasing function of J, in complete agreement with constructive field theory methods.

Theoretical Predictions

The thermodynamic properties of a ferrofluid modeled by a bidisperse system of dipolar hard spheres in the absence of external magnetic field are investigated using theory and simulations. The theory is based on the virial expansion of the Helmholtz free energy in terms of particle volume concentration. Comparison between the theoretical predictions and simulation data shows a great agreement of the results.

The Magnetic Field

The Biot-Savart law gives the velocity associated with an elemental portion of line vortex, or the magnetic field associated with an elemental portion of line current. The following proof may appeal to students who approach fluid mechanics or electromagnetic-field theory from the engineering viewpoint. It will be stated in terms of fluid mechanics. Consider a very small length δs of line vortex of circulation strength Γ. At P(x) the velocity δV associated with this portion depends on Γ δs and x.

Recently, Bennett et al. (Eur. J. Phys. 37:014001, 2016) presented a physically-motivated and explicitly gauge-independent scheme for the quantisation of the electromagnetic field in flat Minkowski space. In this paper we generalise this field quantisation scheme to curved spacetimes. Working within the standard assumptions of quantum field theory and only postulating the physicality of the photon, we derive the Hamiltonian, H ^ , and the electric and magnetic field observables, E ^ and B ^ , respectively, without having to invoke a specific gauge. As an example, we quantise the electromagnetic field in the spacetime of an accelerated Minkowski observer, Rindler space, and demonstrate consistency with other field quantisation schemes by reproducing the Unruh effect.

Surface Integrals

In potential theory it is often convenient to transform volume integrals over homogeneous bodies into surface integrals. The suppression of one dimension will in general simplify the calculation of the integrals. For a long time this technique has been used in magnetic field theory and the transformation is given in standard texts on potential theory (see MacMillan, 1930, section 55). The transformation appears less well known to authors concerned with the gravity method. The purpose of the present short note is to give an example of the application of this technique, a technique which appears to lead to results of practical value in the computation of the acceleration of gravity due to given bodies.
