On Restricting First Order Form of Gauge Theories to One-Loop Order
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, S. Martins-Filho +1
The first order form of the Yang-Mills and Einstein-Hilbert actions are quantized, and it is shown how Green's functions computed using the first and the second order form of these…
First order formulation of the Yang-Mills theory in a background field
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, D. G. C. McKeon
The background gauge renormalization of the first order formulation of the Yang-Mills theory is studied by using the BRST identities. Together with the background symmetry, these i…
Renormalisation of a diagonal formulation of first order Yang-Mills theory
F T Brandt, J Frenkel, D G C McKeon
We study the BRST renormalization of an alternative formulation of the Yang-Mills theory, where the matrix-propagator of the gluon and the complementary fields is diagonal. This pr…
Effective Action for Hard Thermal Loops in Gravitational Fields
R. R. Francisco, J. Frenkel, J. C. Taylor
We examine, through a Boltzmann equation approach, the generating action of hard thermal loops in the background of gravitational fields. Using the gauge and Weyl invariance of the…
Nonanalyticity of the free energy in thermal field theory
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, J. B. Siqueira
We study, in a d-dimensional space-time, the nonanalyticity of the thermal free energy in the scalar phi^4 theory as well as in QED. We find that the infrared divergent contributio…
The long wavelength limit of hard thermal loop effective actions
F T Brandt, J Frenkel, J C Taylor
We derive a closed form expression for the long wavelength limit of the effective action for hard thermal loops in an external gravitational field. It is a function of the metric,…
