The Hard Thermal Loops and the Self-consistent Calculation of the Effective Potential

By developing the "tadpole graph method" including the resummation of the hard thermal loops in the tadpole diagrams, a self-consistent method is proposed in the calculation of effective potential. It is shown that the calculated effective potential at finite temperature in the Higgs model is more selEconsistent than the naive calculation. The two difficulties encountered in the naive calculations of the effective potential disappear naturally, The calculated results indicate that the symmetry restoration transition is of the first order.     

The Electroweak Transition at Hot and Density Condition

The effective potential of the Weinbefg-Salam (WS) model is calculated at finite temperatureand in the chemical potential of top quarks according to the grand canonical ensembletemperature field theory. The electroweak transition is studied at hot and density conditions.It is indicated that the symmetry restoring transition can take place either by increasing thetemperature or chemical potential of top quarks, but at high temperature and in the lowchemical potential the transition is of the first order, and it becomes the second order at acold density condition. The phase diagrams are showed.     

Effective potential for quantum scalar fields in a de Sitter geometry

We study the quantum theory of an O(N) scalar field on de Sitter geometry at leading order in a nonperturbative 1/N expansion. This resums the infinite series of so-called superdaisy loop diagrams. We obtain the de Sitter symmetric solutions of the corresponding, properly renormalized, dynamical field equations and compute the complete effective potential. Because of its self-interactions, the field acquires a strictly positive square mass which screens potential infrared divergences. Moreover, strongly enhanced ultralong-wavelength fluctuations prevent the existence of a spontaneously broken symmetry state in any dimension.     

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of a Boseben Fermi mixture in a two-dimensional double-well potential

We study the spontaneous symmetry breaking of a superfluid Bose-Fermi mixture in a two-dimensional double-well potential. The mixture is described by a set of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The symmetry breaking phenomenon is demonstrated in the two-dimensional double-well potential in the mixture. The results are summarized in the phase diagrams of the mixture particle numbers, which are divided into symmetric and asymmetric regions by the asymmetry ratios. The dynamical pictures of the spontaneous symmetry breaking induced by a gradual transformation of the single-well potential into a double-well one are also illustrated. The properties of the quantum degenerate mixture are explored using the realistic parameters for a ⁴⁰K-⁸⁷Rb system.     

Parity chain and parity chain breaking in the two-level cavity quantum electrodynamics system

We investigate the transitions between energy levels and parity symmetry in an effective two-level polar molecule system strongly coupled with a quantized harmonic oscillator. By the dressed-state perturbation theory,the transition diagrams between the dressed-state energy levels are presented clearly and show that the odd(even) parity symmetry is broken by the permanent dipole moment(PDM) of the polar molecules. By the analytical and numerical methods, we find that when the coupling strength and the PDM increase, the more frequency components are induced by the counter-rotating terms and PDM.     

The symmetry group of Feynman diagrams and consistency of the BPHZ renormalization scheme

We study the relation between the symmetry group of a Feynman diagram and its reduced diagrams.We then prove that the counterterms in the BPHZ renormalization scheme are consistent with adding counterterms to the interaction Hamiltonian in all cases,including that of Feynman diagrams with symmetry factors.     

Symmetry chaotic attractors and bursting dynamics of semiconductor lasers subjected to optical injection

This paper presents the nonlinear dynamics and bifurcations of optically injected semiconductor lasers in the frame of relative high injection strength. The behavior of the system is explored by means of bifurcation diagrams; however, the exact nature of the involved dynamics is well described by a detailed study of the dynamics evolutions as a function of the effective gain coefficient. As results, we notice the different types of symmetry chaotic attractors with the riddled basins, supercritical pitchfork and Hopf bifurcations, crisis of attractors, instability of chaos, symmetry breaking and restoring bifurcations, and the phenomena of the bursting behavior as well as two connected parts of the same chaotic attractor which merge in a periodic orbit.     

三体核力重排项的同位旋效应

在同位旋相关的Brueckner理论框架内, 研究了三体核力重排贡献对同位旋对称势及其动量相关性和密度依赖性的影响，特别是研究了三体核力重排效应对于非对称核物质中质子和中子有效质量同位旋劈裂的影响. 结果表明: 三体核力重排效应对质子和中子单核子势均具有排斥性，而且其贡献随动量和密度增加而迅速增大. 在低密度区域，三体核力重排贡献对同位旋对称势的影响相当小，然而随着密度的升高，三体核力重排效应的贡献显著增强. 在高密度区域，三体核力重排效应使得同位旋对称势明显增大，而且当密度足够高时，三体核力重排贡献甚至导致对称势的动量相关性质发生改变. 三体核力的重排效应对核子有效质量同位旋依赖性的影响是使高密度丰中子核物质中质子-中子有效质量同位旋劈裂的幅度显著减小.     

The flattening of the average potential in models with fermions

The average potential is a scale dependent scalar effective potential. In a phase with spontaneous symmetry breaking its inner region becomes flat as the averaging extends over infinite volume and the average potential approaches the convex effective potential. Fermion fluctuations affect the shape of the average potential in this region and its flattening with decreasing physical scale. They have to be taken into account to find the true minimum of the scalar potential which determines the scale of spontaneous symmetry breaking.     

Microscopic theory of multiple scattering for open-shell nuclei

We consider the scattering of a distinguishable projectile from a nucleus assuming that the underlying interaction Hamiltonian is a sum of two-body potentials. We show that the effective interaction of the projectile with the nucleus in a truncated nuclear model space can be calculated as a linked-cluster expansion. The rules for evaluating this expansion are given in terms of the nucleon-nucleon and projectile-nucleon potentials and the exact eigenstates of the (effective) shell-model interaction. The shell-model interaction is required to be an energy-independent, Hermitian potential; its expression in terms of the underlying two-body potential is given by folded diagrams. The terms in the expansion of the effective projectile-nucleus interaction must also contain folded diagrams but, unlike the shell-model potential, these are energy-dependent in order to describe the singularities associated with the crossing of the scattering thresholds as the projectile energy is varied. Once the effective interaction is known, elastic and inelastic scatterings may be evaluated numerically by solving a finite-dimensional coupled-channel equation.     

An effective Lagrangian for dynamically broken gauge theories

Dynamical symmetry breaking in non-abelian gauge theories is studied by computing an effective potential for composite operators. We obtain consistent solutions of chiral and gauge symmetry breaking which are, in some cases, compatible with a short distance behavior. The effective theory determined is in agreement with the tumbling hypothesis.     

Dynamical mass function of quark and effective potential in QCD

Direct variational method is applied to the problem of the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD. The minimum of the effective potential corresponding to the phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is found.     

On the induced cosmological term in quantum gravity

Tadpole diagrams where zero-momentum gravitons couple to massive matter loops lead to divergences which are not a consequence of infinite momentum integrals, but of the masslessness of the gravitons. It is shown that there exists no definition of these diagrams consistent with the Ward identities. They can be eliminated by an appropriate gauge choice, but then the BRS symmetry is spontaneously broken. Also in the scalar-tensor, conformally invariant formulation of quantum gravity, the tadpole problem does survive. The tadpole diagrams can, however, be cancelled by a cosmological counter-term. In that case, the Ward identities are satisfied.     

Pseudo-Finsleroid standard model analysis of electroweak interactions

A standard model Lagrangian is constructed making the pseudo-Finsleroid generalization of the Yang-Mills field equation by the conformal method. The Higgs field potential is suggested that ensures generation of particle masses caused by the spontaneous symmetry breaking. After transition to the conformal coordinates, the expressions obtained assume the standard form that in many cases allows the results of pseudo-Euclidean theory to be used in calculations of the Feynman diagrams. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 44–51, April, 2006.     

Reversal-field memory in the hysteresis of spin glasses

We report a novel singularity in the hysteresis of spin glasses, the reversal-field memory effect, which creates a nonanalyticity in the magnetization curves at a particular point related to the history of the sample. The origin of the effect is due to the existence of a macroscopic number of "symmetric clusters" of spins associated with a local spin-reversal symmetry of the Hamiltonian. We use first order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams to characterize the effect and compare to experimental results on thin magnetic films. We contrast our results on spin glasses to random magnets and show that the FORC technique is an effective "magnetic fingerprinting" tool.     

Counting loop diagrams: computational complexity of higher-order amplitude evaluation

We discuss the computational complexity of the perturbative evaluation of scattering amplitudes, both by the Caravaglios-Moretti algorithm and by direct evaluation of the individual diagrams. For a self-interacting scalar theory, we determine the complexity as a function of the number of external legs. We describe a method for obtaining the number of topologically inequivalent Feynman graphs containing closed loops, and apply this to 1- and 2-loop amplitudes. We also compute the number of graphs weighted by their symmetry factors, thus arriving at exact and asymptotic estimates for the average symmetry factor of diagrams. We present results for the asymptotic number of diagrams up to 10 loops, and prove that the average symmetry factor approaches unity as the number of external legs becomes large.Received: 2 June 2004, Published online: 23 July 2004Research supported by the EU contract no.

Symmetry breaking and restoration in Lifshitz type theories

We consider the one-loop effective potential at zero and finite temperature in scalar field theories with anisotropic space-time scaling. For z=2, there is a symmetry breaking term induced at one loop at zero temperature and we find symmetry restoration through a first-order phase transition at high temperature. For z=3, we considered at first the case with a positive mass term at tree level and found no symmetry breaking effects induced at one loop, and then we study the case with a negative mass term at tree level where we cannot conclude about symmetry restoration effects at high temperature because of the imaginary parts that appear in the effective potential for small values of the scalar field.     

Permutation-symmetric multicritical points in random antiferromagnetic spin chains

We present a general theory of a class of multicritical points in the phase diagrams of random antiferromagnetic spin chains. We show that low-energy properties of these points are almost completely determined by a permutation symmetry of the effective theory not shared by the microscopic Hamiltonian. One case provides an analytic theory of the quantum critical point in the random spin-3/2 chain, studied in a recent work by Refael, Kehrein, and Fisher.     

Noether symmetry for Gauss–Bonnet dilatonic gravity

Noether symmetry for Gauss–Bonnet Dilatonic interaction exists for a constant dilatonic scalar potential and a linear functional dependence of the coupling parameter on the scalar field. The symmetry with the same form of the potential and coupling parameter exists all in the vacuum, radiation and matter dominated era. The late time acceleration is driven by the effective cosmological constant rather than the Gauss–Bonnet term, while the later compensates for the large value of the effective cosmological constant giving a plausible answer to the well-known coincidence problem.     

Symmetry breaking and duality diagrams in a multiparticle production model

Symmetry breaking is studied systematically in a multi-Regge resonance production model. Consistency of the planar bootstrap with broken symmetry requires ideal nonets to have equal spacing between ?, K¹ and φ trajectories. Non-planar diagrams generate a leading vacuum singularity near one. Formulae relating symmetry breaking of the pomeron couplings and of produced particle multiplicities are given.
