A Reexamination of the Canonical Structure of the Einstein-Hilbert Action in First-Order Form
R. N. Ghalati, D. G. C. McKeon
A canonical analysis of the Einstein-Hilbert action S_d (d>2) is considered, using the first order form with the metric and affine connection as independent fields. We adopt a cons…
A Canonical Analysis of the First Order Einstein-Hilbert Action
R. N. Ghalati, D. G. C. McKeon
The Dirac constraint formalism is applied to the d(d>2) dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action when written in first order form, using the metric density and affine connection as inde…
General Covariant Gauge Fixing for Massless Spin-Two Fields
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, D. G. C. McKeon
The most general covariant gauge fixing Lagrangian is considered for a spin-two gauge theory in the context of the Faddeev-Popov procedure. In general, five parameters characterize…
Using the Renormalization Group Functions to Uniquely Determine the Effective Potential in Massless Scalar Electrodynamics
F. A. Chishtie, T. Hanif, D. G. C. McKeon
It has been demonstrated that the effective potential V(ϕ) in a massless O(N) λϕ^4_4 model is determined completely by the renormalization group functions provided the renormalizat…
The Derivative Expansion of the Effective Action and the Renormalization Group Equation
F. A. Chishtie, Junji Jia, D. G. C. McKeon
The perturbative evaluation of the effective action can be expanded in powers of derivatives of the external field. We apply the renormalization group equation to the term in the e…
A Unique Determination of the Effective Potential in Terms of Renormalization Group Functions
F. A. Chishtie, T. Hanif, D. G. C. McKeon +1
The perturbative effective potential V in the massless model with a global O(N) symmetry is uniquely determined to all orders by the renormalization group functions alone wh…
