Exact evolution equation for scalar electrodynamics

Abstract

We describe scalar quantum electrodynamics by a gauge-invariant effective average action {Gamma}{sub k}. This obtains by integrating out the quantum fluctuations with ``momenta`` larger than k in a gauge-invariant way. Our method can deal successfully with the infrared problems of perturbation theory in less than four dimensions or at high temperature. The dependence of {Gamma}{sub k} on the infrared cutoff k is given by an exact evolution equation. (orig.)
