Renormalization group theory of generalized multi-vertex sine-Gordon model

Abstract

We investigate the renormalization group theory of generalized multi-vertex sine-Gordon model by employing the dimensional regularization method and also the Wilson renormalization group method. The vertex interaction is given by $\cos (k_j\cdot \varphi )$ where $k_j$ ($j=1,2,\cdots ,M$) are momentum vectors and $\varphi$ is an $N$-component scalar field. The beta functions are calculated for the sine-Gordon model with multi cosine interactions. The second-order correction in the renormalization procedure is given by the two-point scattering amplitude for tachyon scattering. We show that new vertex interaction with momentum vector $k_{\ell }$ is generated from two vertex interactions with vectors $k_i$ and $k_j$ when $k_i$ and $k_j$ meet the condition $k_{\ell }=k_i\pm k_j$ called the triangle condition. Further condition $k_i\cdot k_j=\pm 1/2$ is required within the dimensional regularization method. The renormalization group equations form a set of closed equations when $\{k_j\}$ form an equilateral triangle for $N=2$ or a regular tetrahedron for $N=3$. The Wilsonian renormalization group method gives qualitatively the same result for beta functions.
