Effective action for composite operators
Abstract
An effective action and potential for composite operators is obtained. The formalism is used to analyze, by variational techniques, dynamical symmetry breaking and coherent solutions to field theory. A Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is introduced which replaces arbitrary variations with parametric variations. Previously unsolved nonlinear equations become, in the Rayleigh-Ritz approximation, solvable algebraic equations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
