Self-interacting scalar fields on space-time with compact hyperbolic spatial part

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We calculate the one-loop effective potential of a self-interacting scalar field on the spacetime of the form eals2imesH2/Gamma. The Selberg trace formula associated with a co-compact discrete group Gamma in PSL(2,eals) (hyperbolic and elliptic elements only) is used. The closed form for the one-loop unrenormalized and renormalized effective potentials is given. The influence of non-trivial topology on curvature induced phase transitions is also discussed.
