An approach to the low energy effective action based on the formalism of Green's functions of composite is developed in field theories with dynamical symmetry breaking. The effective action of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is derived as a series in powers of the derivatives of composite fields. The mechanism of scale symmetry breaking in this model is discussed.

The advantageous points of ERG in applications to non-perturbative analyses of quantum field theories are discussed in comparison with the Schwinger-Dyson equations. First we consider the relation between these two formulations specially by examining the large N field theories. In the second part we study the phase structure of dynamical symmetry breaking in three dimensional QED as a typical example of the practical application.

Dynamical symmetry breaking in models with strong Yukawa interactionsThe primary aim of this paper is to explore the possibility of spontaneous symmetry breaking by strong Yukawa dynamics. Technically, the symmetry is assumed to be broken by formation of symmetry-breaking parts of both the scalar and the fermion propagators, rather than by the scalar vacuum expectation values. The idea is first introduced on an example of a toy model with the underlying symmetry being an Abelian one and later applied to a realistic model of electroweak interaction. In addition, the paper also deals with some more general, model-independent issues, applicable not only to the discussed model of strong Yukawa dynamics, but to a wider class of models with dynamical mass generation. First of these issues is the problem of fermion flavor mixing in the presence of fermion self-energies with a general momentum dependence. It is in particular shown how to define the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix in such models and argued that it can come out in principle non-unitary. Second issue is the problem of calculating the gauge boson masses when the symmetry is broken by fermion self-energies. On top of deriving the formula for the gauge boson mass matrix we also find corrections to the related Pagels-Stokar formula.

In the past two decades, Dyson's formalism of renormalization has been mostly superceded by dimensional regularization, particularly in the treatment of quantum gauge field theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking or those with chiral fermions. In this paper, we shall carry out explicitly Dyson's subtraction program, making it applicable to such field theories. In particular, we show with the example of the Abelian–Higgs theory how to handle amplitudes of chiral fermions. We show that these amplitudes which involve the γ5 matrix can be calculated in an unambiguous and gauge invariant way. This is done by establishing the subtraction conditions for the propagator of a chiral fermion as well as those for the VVV amplitude, when V denotes the vector meson. The renormalized constants are chosen to satisfy the Ward–Takahashi identities. As a demonstration, we calculate the next-lowest order correction of the anomaly in the Abelian–Higgs model and find that it vanishes.
