Coleman-Weinberg potential

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coleman-Weinberg model represents quantum electrodynamics of a scalar field in four-dimensions. The Lagrangian for the model is

L = -\frac{1}{4} (F_{\mu \nu})^2 + (D_{\mu} \phi)^2 - m^2 \phi^2 - \frac{\lambda}{6} \phi^4

where the scalar field may be complex.
