AbstractFor a real scalar field minimally coupled to bulk gravity, in five dimensions, we analytically solve the Gordon equation, near one of the degenerated vacua of an effective potential with a spontaneously broken Z 2-symmetry. Dealing with the back-reaction from the excited massive modes on the whole scale function, we are pointing out that the lighter excitations of the scalar in the bulk turn more and more the warp function into the one of a partition on the confined brane.

We consider in this paper φ4 theory in higher dimensions. Using functional diagrammatic approach, we compute the one-loop correction to effective potential of the scalar field in five dimensions. It is shown that φ4 theory can be regularized in five dimensions. Temperature dependent one-loop correction and critical temperature βc are computed and βc depends on the fundamental scale [Formula: see text] of the theory. A brief discussion of symmetry restoration is also presented. The nature of phase transitions is examined and is of second order.

Asymptotically Euclidean regions connected by a wormhole may differ by their associated gauge coupling constants. This idea is realized in a field-theoretical manner using a conformally coupled scalar field in five dimensions. An SO (4) × U (1) e.m. -symmetric configuration is derived, describing a Kaluza–Klein bottle coupled to a Tolman–Hawking wormhole.

In this paper we consider a massive scalar field on the boundary of AdS space–time and calculate the quasinormal modes for the string inspired Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity in five dimensions. We study the effects of Gauss–Bonnet parameter, temperature, scalar field's mass and momentum vector on the effective potential and quasinormal modes.

We evaluate the finite temperature one-loop effective potential for scalar fields in Kaluza-Klein universe consisting of the product of a space with open Robertson-Walker metric and the N sphere SN. The one-loop effective potential has been computed in both high and low temperature limits.

The renormalization group is used to sum the leading-log (LL) contributions to the effective action for a large constant external gauge field in terms of the one-loop renormalization group (RG) function β, the next-to-leading-log (NLL) contributions in terms of the two-loop RG function, etc. The log-independent pieces are not determined by the RG equation, but can be fixed by considering the anomaly in the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Similar considerations can be applied to the effective potential V for a scalar field [Formula: see text]; here the log-independent pieces are fixed by the condition [Formula: see text].

Abstract We study the dynamical evolution of coupled one- and two-point functions of a scalar field in the 2PI framework at the Hartree approximation, including backreaction from out-of-equilibrium modes. We renormalize the 2PI equations of motion in an on-shell scheme in terms of physical parameters. We present the Hartree-resummed renormalized effective potential at finite temperature and critically discuss the role of the effective potential in a non-equilibrium system. We follow the decay and thermalization of a scalar field from an initial cold state with all energy stored in the potential, into a fully thermalized system with a finite temperature. We identify the non-perturbative processes of parametric resonance and spinodal instability taking place during the reheating stage. In particular we study the unstable modes in the region where the vacuum 1PI effective action becomes complex and show that such spinodal modes can have a dramatic effect on the evolution of the one-point function. Our methods can be easily adapted to simulate reheating at the end of inflation.

We consider the one-loop effective potential at zero temperature in Lifshitz-type field theories with anisotropic space–time scaling, with critical exponent z = 3, including scalar, fermion and gauge fields. The fermion determinant generates a symmetry breaking term at one loop in the effective potential and a local minimum appears, for nonzero scalar field, for every value of the Yukawa coupling. Depending on the relative strength of the coupling constants for the scalar and the gauge field, we find a second symmetry breaking local minimum in the effective potential for a bigger value of the scalar field.

We calculate the one-loop effective potential of a self-interacting scalar field on the space-time of the form ℝ2×H2/Γ. The Selberg trace formula associated with a co-compact discrete group Γ in PSL(2, ℝ) (hyperbolic and elliptic elements only) is used. The closed form for the one-loop unrenormalized and renormalized effective potentials is given. The influence of non-trivial topology on curvature induced phase transitions is also discussed.

In this paper I introduce tensor multinomials, an algebra that is dense in the space of nonlinear smooth differential operators, and use a subalgebra to create an extension of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. In a mathematical sense this extension falls between Einstein’s original theory of general relativity in four dimensions and the Kaluza–Klein theory in five dimensions. The theory has elements in common with both the original Kaluza–Klein and Brans–Dicke, but emphasizes a new and different underlying mathematical structure. Despite there being only four physical dimensions, the use of tensor multinomials naturally leads to expanded operators that can incorporate other fields. The equivalent Ricci tensor of this geometry is robust and yields vacuum general relativity and electromagnetism, as well as a Klein–Gordon-like quantum scalar field. The formalism permits a time-dependent cosmological function, which is the source for the scalar field. I develop and discuss several candidate Lagrangians. Trial solutions of the most natural field equations include a singularity-free dark energy dust cosmology.

We discuss the one-loop effective potential and static (large d) potential for toroidal D-brane described by DBI-action in constant magnetic and in constant electric fields. Explicit calculation is done for membrane case (p=2) for both types of external fields and in case of static potential for an arbitrary p. In the case of one-loop potential it is found that the presence of magnetic background may stabilize D-brane giving the possibility for non-pointlike ground state configuration. On the same time, constant electrical field acts against stabilization and the correspondent one-loop potential is unbounded from below. The properties of static potential which also has stable minimum are described in detail. The back-reaction of quantum gauge fields to one-loop potential is also evaluated.
