The 3d Effective Field Theory for Finite Temperature Scalar Electrodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
The effective field theory approach to high temperature field theory can be used to study the phase transition in theories with spontaneously broken symmetry. I construct a sequence of two effective three–dimensional field theories which are valid on successively longer distance scales for a specific model: model: N charged scalars coupled to a U(1) gauge field. The resulting effective Lagrangian can be used to investigate the phase transition, in particular the order of the phase transition as a function of N , using lattice simulations.

Three - dimensional U ( 1 ) gauge + Higgs theory as an effective theory for finite temperature phase transitions
Three-dimensional U(1) gauge+Higgs theory as an effective theory for finite temperature phase transitions Abstract We study the three-dimensional U(1)+Higgs theory (Ginzburg-Landau model) as an effective theory for finite temperature phase transitions from the 1 K scale of super-conductivity to the relativistic scales of scalar electrodynamics. The relations between the parameters of the physic...
متن کاملThe Electric Screening Mass in Scalar Electrodynamics at High Temperature
We study the screening of static electric fields in massless scalar electrodynamics at high temperature and zero chemical potential. Effective field theory methods are used to separate the contributions from the momentum scales T and eT to the electric screening mass. The effects of the distance scale 1/T are encoded in the parameters of an effective three-dimensional field theory. The paramete...
متن کاملOn the Finite Temperature Effective Potential in Scalar QED with N Flavors
The effective potential of scalar quantum electrodynamics with N flavors of complex scalar fields is studied, by performing a self consistent 1/N expansion up to next to leading order in 1/N . Starting from the broken phase at zero temperature, the theory exhibits a phase transition to the symmetric phase at some finite temperature Tc. We work in general covariant gauges and demonstrate the gau...

Scalar electrodynamics can be used to investigate the formation of cosmic strings in the early universe. We present the results of lattice Monte Carlo simulations of an effective three-dimensional U(1)+Higgs theory that describes the equilibrium properties of finite-temperature scalar electrodynamics near the transition. A gauge-invariant criterion for the existence of a vortex is used in measu...
متن کاملCasimir effects of nano objects in fluctuating scalar and electromagnetic fields: Thermodynamic investigating
Casimir entropy is an important aspect of casimir effect and at the nanoscale is visible. In this paper, we employ the path integral method to obtain a general relation for casimir entropy and internal energy of arbitrary shaped objects in the presence of two, three and four dimension scalar fields and the electromagnetic field. For this purpose, using Lagrangian and based on a perturb...
