A Construction of an Effective Hamiltonian from Feynman Diagrams: Application to the Light-Front Yukawa Model
arXiv:hep-th/0004110 · doi:10.1143/PTP.106.99
Abstract
We study a similarity transformation to construct an effective Hamiltonian systematically, which does not contain particle-number-changing interactions, by means of Fukuda-Sawada-Taketani-Okubo's method. We show that such Hamiltonian can be constructed from Feynman diagrams and give rules for constructing it in the Light-Front Yukawa model. We prove that it is renormalized by the familiar covariant perturbative renormalization procedure. It is very advantageous that the effective Hamiltonian can be obtained from our rules {\em immediately}. We also numerically diagonalize it to the second order in the coupling constant as an exercise.
