Gaussian Effective Potential

An uncertainty is introduced for the Gaussian Effective Potential. The definition is quite straightforward for quantum mechanics but fairly subtle for quantum field theory. The uncertainty provides a good estimation of the error in the first case, but renormalization seems to spoil its usefulness in the second case. The examples considered are the anharmonic oscillator, λϕ4 in 3+1 dimensions and the Liouville theory in 1+1 dimensions.

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.

AbstractUsing the Gaussian effective potential approach, φ6 soliton solutions at finite temperature are studied for both the general case and the particular case λ2 = 2ξm2. A critical temperature is found at which soliton solutions cease to exist. The effective potential together with the mass-gap equation are studied in detail, and comparison with existing work on this subject is made
