Symmetry breaking and restoration for interacting scalar and gauge fields in Lifshitz type theories
arXiv:1112.6080 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.03.045
Abstract
We consider the one-loop effective potential at zero and finite temperature in field theories with anisotropic space-time scaling, with critical exponent , including both scalar and gauge fields. Depending on the relative strength of the coupling constants for the gauge and scalar interactions, we find that there is a symmetry breaking term induced at one-loop at zero temperature and we find symmetry restoration through a first-order phase transition at high temperature.
