Neumann boundary conditions inhibiting the SSB in the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism

Abstract

In this work we show that homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions inhibit the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking in the scalar electrodynamics if the length of the finite region is small enough ($a=e^2{M}_{\varphi }^{-1}$, where $M_{\varphi }$ is the mass of the scalar field generated by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism)
