Renormalizing (phi/sup 3/)/sub 6/ theory in curved space-time

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The renormalization of phi/sup 3/ theory in a six-dimensional conformally flat space-time is discussed at the two-loop level. The background-field method and the momentum-space representation of the Feynman propagator are used to calculate the ultraviolet divergences of the effective action. It is shown that (phi/sup 3/)/sub 6/ theory is renormalizable in a conformally flat space-time at the two-loop level. The counterterms are given to the two-loop order. The next-to-leading-order term in the ..beta.. function for the coupling constant of the Rphi/sup 2/ term is then obtained.
