The electrodynamics of a nonlinear, complex scalar field is developed from the basis of a Hamiltonian formalism. By means of a canonical transformation, the equations for a stationary state are reduced to the consideration of an equivalent problem in static equilibrium. Localized solutions are defined. For specified conditions on the self-interaction, solutions of finite energy, and finite, nonzero charge, are localized.

The Hadamard parametrix is a representation of the short-distance singularity structure of the Feynman Green’s function for a quantum field on a curved spacetime background. Subtracting these divergent terms regularizes the Feynman Green’s function and enables the computation of renormalized expectation values of observables. We study the Hadamard parametrix for a charged, massive, complex scalar field in five spacetime dimensions. Even in Minkowski spacetime, it is not possible to write the Feynman Green’s function for a charged scalar field exactly in closed form. We, therefore, present covariant Taylor series expansions for the biscalars arising in the Hadamard parametrix. On a general spacetime background, we explicitly state the expansion coefficients up to the order required for the computation of the renormalized scalar field current. These coefficients become increasingly lengthy as the order of the expansion increases, so we give the higher-order terms required for the calculation of the renormalized stress-energy tensor in Minkowski spacetime only.

We have studied the effects of Lorentz-violation in the Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of an ideal boson gas, by assessing both the nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic limits. Our model describes a massive complex scalar field coupled to a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating background. We first analyze the nonrelativistic case, at this level by using experimental data, we obtain upper-bounds for some LIV parameters. In the sequel, we have constructed the partition function for the relativistic ideal boson gas which to be able of a consistent description requires the imposition of severe restrictions on some LIV coefficients. In both cases, we have demonstrated that the LIV contributions are contained in an overall factor, which multiplies almost all thermodynamical properties. An exception is the fraction of the condensed particles.

This chapter provides constructions of Lagrangians for various field models and discusses the basic properties of these models. Concrete examples of field models are constructed, including real and complex scalar field models, the sigma model, spinor field models and models of massless and massive free vector fields. In addition, the chapter discusses various interactions between fields, including the interactions of scalars and spinors with the electromagnetic field. A detailed discussion of the Yang-Mills field is given as well.
