The Effective Potential in the Massive Model
F. T. Brandt, F. A. Chishtie, D. G. C. McKeon
By applying the renormalization group equation, it has been shown that the effective potential in the massless model and in massless scalar quantum electrodynamics is i…
Derivative Expansion of the Effective Action for Massless Scalar Electrodynamics in Arbitrary Gauge
D. G. C. McKeon
It is shown how operator regularization can be used to obtain an expansion of the effective action in powers of derivatives of the background field. This is applied to massless sca…
Quantization of the First-Order Two-Dimensional Einstein-Hilbert Action
D. G. C. McKeon
A canonical analysis of the first-order two-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action has shown it to have no physical degrees of freedom and to possess an unusual gauge symmetry with a…
The Renormalization Group with Exact beta-Functions
V. Elias, D. G. C. McKeon
The perturbative -function is known exactly in a number of supersymmetric theories and in the 't Hooft renormalization scheme in the model. It is shown how this allows o…
Stability of Subsequent-to-Leading-Logarithm Corrections to the Effective Potential for Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
F. A. Chishtie, V. Elias, R. B. Mann +2
We demonstrate the stability under subsequent-to-leading logarithm corrections of the quartic scalar-field coupling constant and the running Higgs boson mass obtained from the…
Radiative Corrections in a Vector-Tensor Model
F. Chishtie, M. Gagné-Portelance, T. Hanif +2
In a recently proposed model in which a vector non-Abelian gauge field interacts with an antisymmetric tensor field, it has been shown that the tensor field possesses no physical d…
Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Beyond Leading Logarithms
V. Elias, R. B. Mann, D. G. C. McKeon +1
The top-quark Yukawa coupling is too large to permit radiative electroweak symmetry breaking to occur for small values of y, the Higgs self-coupling, to leading-logarithm order. Ho…
Peculiarities of the Canonical Analysis of the First Order Form of the Einstein-Hilbert Action in Two Dimensions in Terms of the Metric Tensor or the Metric Density
N. Kiriushcheva, S. V. Kuzmin, D. G. C. McKeon
The peculiarities of doing a canonical analysis of the first order formulation of the Einstein-Hilbert action in terms of either the metric tensor or the metric density $h…
A Canonical Approach to the Einstein-Hilbert Action in Two Spacetime Dimensions
N. Kiriushcheva, S. V. Kuzmin, D. G. C. McKeon
The canonical structure of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrange density is examined in two spacetime dimensions, using the metric density and…
