Research Summary

• SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the Savvidy background is studied at the zero temperature and at finite temperature. The Savvidy vacuum in the Gaussian approximation is plagued by un-stable modes both at zero temperature and at finite temperature. These unstable modes give the imaginary part in the one-loop effective energy density, therefore the Savvidy vacuum is unstable. With the motivation to get real one-loop effective energy density, the stable and unstable modes are separated. The stable modes are treated keeping terms only quadratic in the fluctuation. For the unstable modes, we consider the full action including the cubic and quartic terms and the one-loop effective energy density of the unstable modes is added to that of the stable modes. The resulting energy density is real.

Highlights of Research 

• Presently we are looking closely at non-Hermitian QM and Factorization Method in QM.
