The quantum Yang-Mills theory
Dimitrios Metaxas
In axiomatic quantum field theory, the postulate of the uniqueness of the vacuum (a pure vacuum state) is independent of the other axioms and equivalent to the cluster decompositio…
A proposal for the Yang-Mills vacuum and mass gap
Dimitrios Metaxas
I examine a set of Feynman rules, and the resulting effective action, that were proposed in order to incorporate the constraint of Gauss's law in the perturbation expansion of gaug…
Radiative generation of metastable minima in a scalar-fermion model
Dimitrios Metaxas
I consider a theory of a real scalar and a fermion field, with a Yukawa interaction and a potential term that admits two degenerate minima at the tree level. The quantum vacuum ene…
Instanton interaction in de Sitter spacetime
Dimitrios Metaxas
Because of the presence of a cosmological horizon the dilute instanton gas approximation used for the derivation of the Coleman-De Luccia tunneling rate in de Sitter spacetime rece…
Symmetry breaking and restoration for interacting scalar and gauge fields in Lifshitz type theories
K. Farakos, D. Metaxas
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 scal…
Symmetry breaking and restoration in Lifshitz type theories
K. Farakos, D. Metaxas
We consider the one-loop effective potential at zero and finite temperature in scalar field theories with anisotropic space-time scaling. For , there is a symmetry breaking te…
