Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking in the chiral SU(n) x SU(n) linear sigma model
Description
The onset of symmetry breaking in the chiral SU(n) x SU(n) linear sigma model is investigated. It is shown that the model possesses no stable fixed points in d = 4 - epsilon dimensions and that the chiral symmetry of the theory can be broken via the CW mechanism when d = 4. The implications of these results are discussed. (orig.)
