On the Effects of the Neumann Boundary Conditions in the Coleman–weinberg Mechanism

Abstract: We investigate the effects of the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in the scalar electrodynamics with self-interaction. We show that if the length of the finite region is small enough ([Formula: see text], where Mϕ is the mass of the scalar field generated by the Coleman–Weinberg mechanism) the spontaneous symmetry breaking will not be induced and the vector field will not develop mass, however the scalar field will.

“…Otherwise, the mechanism cannot be granted to generate mass as pointed out both for the case of the scalar field [21,22] and ColemanWeinberg mechanism [23,24]. About confinement, it should be emphasized that it is the combination of Yukawa-like propagators, showing mass gap, and a running coupling to possibly yield a confining potential [25,26,27].…”
