Gross Neveu Model

We show how to perform systematically improvable variational calculations in the O(2N) Gross–Neveu model for generic N, in such a way that all infinities usually plaguing such calculations are accounted for in a way compatible with the perturbative renormalization group. The final point is a general framework for the calculation of nonperturbative quantities like condensates, masses, etc., in an asymptotically free field theory. For the Gross–Neveu model, the numerical results obtained from a "two-loop" variational calculation are in a very good agreement with exact quantities down to low values of N.

The One

The Thermal Field Theory methods are applied to calculate the dispersion relation of the photon propagating modes in a strictly one-dimensional (1D) ideal plasma. The electrons are treated as a gas of particles that are confined to a 1D tube or wire, but are otherwise free to move, without reference to the electronic wave functions in the coordinates that are transverse to the idealized wire, or relying on any features of the electronic structure. The relevant photon dynamical variable is an effective field in which the two space coordinates that are transverse to the wire are collapsed. The appropriate expression for the photon free-field propagator in such a medium is obtained, the one-loop photon self-energy is calculated and the (longitudinal) dispersion relations are determined and studied in some detail. Analytic formulas for the dispersion relations are given for the case of a degenerate electron gas, and the results differ from the long-wavelength formula that is quoted in the literature for the strictly 1D plasma. The dispersion relations obtained resemble the linear form that is expected in realistic quasi-1D plasma systems for the entire range of the momentum, and which have been observed in this kind of system in recent experiments.

In this letter we present a possible form of quantum mechanics in the case where the dynamical variables (or the time) are p-adic numbers. We also present a possible formulation of two-dimensional free field theory on a two-dimensional p-adic space.

The Relationship

A relativistic quantum field theory at finite temperature T = β−1 is equivalent to the same field theory at zero temperature but with one spatial dimension of finite length β. This equivalence is discussed for scalars, for fermions, and for gauge theories. The relationship is checked for free field theory. The translation of correlation functions between the two formulations is described with special emphasis on the nonlocal order parameters of gauge theories. Possible applications are mentioned.

Set Up

ABSTRACTThe Yang-Feldman formalism vising the Feynman-like Green's functions is set up. The corresponding free fields have non-trivial commutation relations and contain information about the scattering. S-matrix elements are simply the matrix elements of anti-normal products of the field φF′(x). These are evaluated, and they give directly expressions used in the theory of causality and dispersion relations. It is possible to formulate field theory in a form in which the fields obey free field equations and the effects of interaction are contained in their commutation relations.
