Low energy effective actions with composite fields

Abstract

We investigate a Wilson real space renormalization gorup approach for theories in which composite fields are needed at low energies. It furnishes a sequence of effective actions S{sub {Lambda}} which depend on an UV cut-off {Lambda}. We adopt Wilsons fundamental postulate that these effective actions should be local. This is our basic guiding principle on how to construct ``blockspins``, i.e. the fields which appear in the effective actions. Given a fundamental high energy theory which does not contain composite fields we gradually integrate out high frequency modes in order to lower the cut-off {Lambda}. Eventually appearing nonlocalities at some cut-off value {Lambda}{sub c} indicate the necessity to introduce new composite degrees of freedom into the theory. An analysis based on Symanzik`s infinite set of Bethe-Salpeter equations for all n-point functions shows that a local low energy effective action containing composite fields can be constructed at the compositeness scale {Lambda}{sub c}. Further integration of high frequency modes generates new nonlocalities which can be absorbed into the composite degrees of freedom. There are indications from an 1/N expansion that this suffices already to eliminate high energy degrees of freedom from the composite field so that no separate integration is needed to achieve  More>>
