Radiative Corrections as the Origin of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Erick J. Weinberg
TL;DR
This paper explores how radiative corrections can lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking, analyzing the role of renormalization group calculations in this context, with detailed theoretical insights and historical relevance.
Contribution
It provides a detailed theoretical analysis of radiative corrections as a mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking, including renormalization group calculations.
Findings
Radiative corrections can induce spontaneous symmetry breaking.
Renormalization group methods are crucial for understanding this phenomenon.
The paper offers a comprehensive theoretical framework for the mechanism.
Abstract
Although old, this may be of interest. In particular, I have had inquiries concerning the renormalization group calculations in Sec. 6.4. This is a Latex transcription. A scanned version of the original typed manuscript is available at http://phys.columbia.edu/~ejw/thesis.pdf .
