We present the extension of the zero temperature Schwinger α-representation to the finite temperature scalar field theories. We give, in a compact form, the α-integrand of Feynman amplitudes of these theories. Using this representation, we analyze short-range divergences, and recover in a simple way the known result that the counterterms are temperature-independent.

We present a simple and effective procedure to improve the finite temperature effective potential so as to satisfy the renormalization group equation (RGE). With the L-loop knowledge of the effective potential and of the RGE coefficient function, this procedure carries out a systematic resummation of large-T as well as large-log terms up to the Lth-to-leading order, giving an improved effective potential which satisfies the RGE and is exact up to the Lth-to-leading T and log terms. Applications to the one- and two-loop effective potentials are explicitly performed.

Abstract We study renormalization group multicritical fixed points in the ϵ-expansion of scalar field theories characterized by the symmetry of the (hyper)cubic point group HN. After reviewing the algebra of HN-invariant polynomials and arguing that there can be an entire family of multicritical (hyper)cubic solutions with ϕ2n interactions in $$ d=\frac{2n}{n-1}-\epsilon $$ d = 2 n n − 1 − ϵ dimensions, we use the general multicomponent beta functionals formalism to study the special cases d = 3 − ϵ and $$ d=\frac{8}{3}-\epsilon $$ d = 8 3 − ϵ , deriving explicitly the beta functions describing the flow of three- and four-critical (hyper)cubic models. We perform a study of their fixed points, critical exponents and quadratic deformations for various values of N, including the limit N = 0, that was reported in another paper in relation to the randomly diluted single-spin models, and an analysis of the large N limit, which turns out to be particularly interesting since it depends on the specific multicriticality. We see that, in general, the continuation in N of the random solutions is different from the continuation coming from large-N, and only the latter interpolates with the physically interesting cases of low-N such as N = 3. Finally, we also include an analysis of a theory with quintic interactions in $$ d=\frac{10}{3}-\epsilon $$ d = 10 3 − ϵ and, for completeness, the NNLO computations in d = 4 − ϵ.

Abstract We renormalize various scalar field theories with a $$\phi ^n$$ϕn self interaction such as $$n=5$$n=5, 7 and 9 in their respective critical dimensions which are non-integer. The renormalization group functions for the O(N) symmetric extensions are also computed.

In this work we apply Thompson's scaling approach (of dimensions) to study the scalar field theories Φn. This method can be considered as a simple and alternative way to the renormalization group (RG) approach and when applied to the Φn Lagrangian is able to obtain the coupling constant behavior g(μ), namely the dependence of g on the energy scale μ. The calculations are evaluated just at [Formula: see text], where the dimension dc is similar to a kind of upper critical dimension of the problem, or in other words the dimension where the Φn theory becomes renormalizable, so that we obtain logarithmic behavior of the coupling g at dc. Due to the universal logharithmic behavior of the coupling g at dc for any value of n in the Φn theory, we are able to estimate a certain βn function given in a closed form, which is a novelty obtained by the present method.
