Gauge-invariant signal for gauge-symmetry breaking
Abstract
The effective potential is computed to order $\ensuremath{\hbar}$ in an Abelian gauge theory---scalar electrodynamics. The calculation is performed first in the ghost-requiring ${R}_{\ensuremath{\xi}}$ gauges. The corresponding expression is also derived from the unitary Lagrangian. We discuss the gauge dependence of the effective potential and its minima in connection with spontaneous symmetry breakdown; and we interpret the unitary computation to be the physically relevant one.

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.
