New Nonlocal Effective Action
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest a new method for the calculation of the nonlocal part of the effective action. It is based on the resummation of the perturbation series for the heat kernel and its functional trace at large values of the proper time parameter. We derive a new, essentially nonperturbative, nonlocal contribution to the effective action in spacetimes with dimensions d > 2.

We present an overview of recent nonperturbative results in the theory of heat kernel and its late time asymptotics responsible for the infrared behavior of quantum effective action for massless theories. In particular, we derive the generalization of the Coleman-Weinberg potential to physical situations when the field is not homogeneous throughout the whole spacetime. This generalization repre...

متن کاملNonlocal Effective Action at Finite Temperature in Ultrastatic Spacetimes
Scalar fields at finite temperature are considered in four dimensional ultrastatic curved spacetime. One loop nonlocal effective action at finite temperature is found up to the second order in curvature expansion. This action is explicitly infrared finite. In the high temperature expansion of free energy, essentially nonlocal terms linear in temperature are derived. e-mail: [email protected]...
