Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QED in a Magnetic Field: Toward Exact Results
V. P. Gusynin, V. A. Miransky, I. A. Shovkovy
We describe a (first, to the best of our knowledge) essentially soluble example of dynamical symmetry breaking phenomenon in a 3+1 dimensional gauge theory without fundamental scal…
The effective potential of composite fields in weakly coupled QED in a uniform external magnetic field
D. -S. Lee, P. N. McGraw, Y. J. Ng +1
The effective potential for the composite fields responsible for chiral symmetry breaking in weakly coupled QED in a magnetic field is derived. The global minimum of the effective…
SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory with extended Supersymmetry in a Background Magnetic Field
D. G. C. McKeon, I. Sachs, I. A. Shovkovy
The vacuum structure of N=2 (and N=4) SUSY Yang-Mills theory is analyzed in detail by considering the effective potential for constant background scalar- magnetic fields within dif…
One-loop finite temperature effective action of QED in the worldline approach
Igor A. Shovkovy
The one-loop finite temperature effective potential of QED in an external electromagnetic field is obtained using the worldline method. The general structure of the temperature dep…
Phase transition induced by a magnetic field
G. W. Semenoff, I. A. Shovkovy, L. C. R. Wijewardhana
The magnetic catalysis of discrete chiral symmetry breaking in the 2+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is analyzed. A particular attention is paid to a possible application of…
The next to leading order effective potential in the 2+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model at finite temperature
E. P. Esposito, I. A. Shovkovy, L. C. R. Wijewardhana
The finite temperature effective potential in the 2+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is constructed up to the next to leading order in the large expansion, where is t…
Derivative Expansion of the Effective Action for QED in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions
V. P. Gusynin, I. A. Shovkovy
The derivative expansion of the one-loop effective action in QED and QED is considered. The first term in such an expansion is the effective action for a constant electroma…
