Dynamical Mass Generation

The Schwinger mechanism for dynamical mass generation in a SU (N) non-Abelian field is considered. A simple argument is given to prove the impossibility of such a mechanism.

Dynamical Mass Generation

The large-N nonlinear O(N) sigma model with the curvature coupled term ξRn2 is examined on a spacetime of R1×S2 topology (three-dimensional static Einstein universe). Making use of the cutoff method, we find the renormalized effective potential which shows that, for ξ>1/8, there is a second-order phase transition. Above the critical curvature, the dynamical mass generation does not take place even in the strong-coupled regime. The phase structure of the model on S2 is also discussed.
