TheO(N) nonlinear sigma model in the functional Schrödinger picture

From MaRDI portal
Publication:3836060



Abstract: We present a functional Schr"{o}dinger picture formalism of the (1+1)-dimensional O(N) nonlinear sigma model. The energy density has been calculated to two-loop order using the wave functional of a gaussian form, and from which the nonperturbative mass gap of the boson fields has been obtained. The functional Schr"{o}dinger picture approach combined with the variational technique is shownto describe the characteristics of the ground state of the nonlinear sigma model in a transparent way.
