The effective potential for the Coleman-Weinberg model

Gauge theories which have a phase transition could be useful in the study of quark confinement. One of the simplest theories containing a phase transition is the Coleman-Weinberg model of massless scalar electrodynamics. The calculation of the renormalized effective potential for the Coleman-Weinber...
