The heat-kernel and the average effective potential
R. Floreanini, R. Percacci
We discuss the definition of the average effective action in terms of the heat-kernel. As an example we examine a model describing a self-interacting scalar field, both in flat and…

Average Effective Potential for the Conformal Factor
R. Floreanini, R. Percacci
In a four dimensional theory of gravity with lagrangian quadratic in curvature and torsion, we compute the effective action for metrics of the form , with con…
