Vacuum Expectation Values from a variational approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter we propose to use an extension of the variational approach known as Truncated Conformal Space to compute numerically the Vacuum Expectation Values of the operators of a conformal field theory perturbed by a relevant operator. As an example we estimate the VEV’s of all (UV regular) primary operators of the Ising model and of some of the Tricritical Ising Model conformal field theories when perturbed by any choice of the relevant primary operators. We compare our results with some other independent predictions. SPhT-t97/055 GEF-Th-5 6-1997

A Novel Variational Approach for Quantum Field Theory: Example of Study of the Ground State and Phase Transition in Nonlinear Sigma Model
We discuss a novel form of the variational approach in Quantum Field Theory in which the trial quantum configuration is represented directly in terms of relevant expectation values rather than, e.g., increasingly complicated structure from Fock space. The quantum algebra imposes constraints on such expectation values so that the variational problem is formulated here as an optimization under co...
متن کاملBetween Classical and Quantum Monte Carlo Methods: “Variational” QMC
The variational Monte Carlo method is reviewed here. It is in essence a classical statistical mechanics approach, yet allows the calculation of quantum expectation values. We give an introductory exposition of the theoretical basis of the approach, including sampling methods and acceleration techniques; its connection with trial wavefunctions; and how in practice it is used to obtain high quali...
متن کاملWilson loop evaluations in the stochastic vacuum model
The stochastic vacuum model description of a heavy meson is discussed in the context of a gauge-invariant approach where Wilson loop expectation values appear naturally in the O(v 2) spin-orbit Hamiltonian. These expectation values have been derived elsewhere, however by a procedure whose legitimacy is now placed in question. Here they are derived by standard functional methods with a result th...
متن کاملNON-PERTURBATIVE VEVs FROM A LOCAL EXPANSION
We propose a method for the calculation of vacuum expectation values (VEVs) given a non-trivial, long-distance vacuum wave functional (VWF) of the kind that arises, for example, in variational calculations. The VEV is written in terms of a Schrödinger-picture path integral, then a local expansion for (the logarithm of the) VWF is used. The integral is regulated with an explicit momentum cut-off...
متن کاملTwo-loop effective potential for the minimal supersymmetric standard model
I compute the complete two-loop effective potential for the minimal supersymmetric standard model in the Landau gauge. This enables an accurate determination of the minimization conditions for the vacuum expectation values of the Higgs fields. Checks on the result follow from supersymmetric limits and from renormalization-scale invariance. The renormalization group equations for the field-indep...
