Title: Relativistic corrections to nonrelativistic effective field theories

Abstract

In this study we develop a formalism for studying the nonrelativistic limit of relativistic field theories in a systematic way. By introducing a simple, nonlocal field redefinition, we transform a given relativistic theory, describing a real, self-interacting scalar field, into an equivalent theory, describing a complex scalar field that encodes at each time both the original field and its conjugate momentum. Our low-energy effective theory incorporates relativistic corrections to the kinetic energy as well as the backreaction of fast-oscillating terms on the behavior of the dominant, slowly varying component of the field. Possible applications of our new approach include axion dark matter, though the methods developed here should be applicable to the low-energy limits of other field theories as well.

Comparison between relativistic and nonrelativistic models of the nucleon-nucleon effective interaction. I. Normal-parity isoscalar transitions

Journal Article Kelly, J J ; Wallace, S J - Physical Review, C

Relativistic density-dependent effective interactions for nucleon-nucleus scattering based upon a complete set of Lorentz-invariant {ital NN} amplitudes are used in calculations of elastic and inelastic scattering to normal-parity states of self-conjugate targets. Owing to distortion of Dirac spinors by the relativistic mean fields, the effective interaction appropriate for use in a Schroedinger formalism incorporates relativistic density dependence, which is stronger for inelastic than elastic scattering. The dominant effect for normal-parity transitions is equivalent to a short-ranged repulsive contribution to the real central interaction that is proportional to density and nearly independent of energy.

Noninstantaneous O(v/c) relativistic effects in bound states and a covariant Schroedinger equation

Journal Article Fishbane, P M ; Namyslowski, J M - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

The noninstantaneous and nonlocal interactions which follow from Weinberg-type dynamics are found to produce v/c relativistic corrections to potentials which are nonrelativistic limits of certain field-theoretic dynamics. Such corrections may be applicable in, for example, phenomenological models of charmonium. These interactions are driving terms in a covariant three-dimensional two-body integral equation derivable from field theory. For bound systems this equation is a fully covariant Schroedinger equation, with spacelike relative momentum and a proper angular resolution. We study this equation, including its systematic relativistic corrections, in various limits based on scalar-particle-exchange dynamics. We compare and contrast it to a related butmore »« less

Effective theories for a nonrelativistic field in an expanding universe: Induced self-interaction, pressure, sound speed, and viscosity

Journal Article Salehian, Borna ; Namjoo, Mohammad Hossein ; Kaiser, David I. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

A massive, nonrelativistic scalar field in an expanding spacetime is usually approximated by a pressureless perfect fluid, which leads to the standard conclusion that such a field can play the role of cold dark matter. In this paper, we systematically study these approximations, incorporating subleading corrections. We provide two equivalent effective descriptions of the system, each of which offers its own advantages and insights: (i) A nonrelativistic effective field theory (EFT) with which we show that the relativistic corrections induce an effective self-interaction for the nonrelativistic field. As a byproduct, our EFT also allows one to construct the exact solution,more »« less

Consistent formulation of relativistic dynamics for massive spin-zero particles in external fields

Journal Article Prugovecki, E - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

It is shown that in the context of stochastic-phase-space formulations of quantum mechanics a nonlocal type of nonrelativistic as well as relativistic dynamics for a massive spin-zero particle moving in an external electromagnetic field can be formulated in L/sup 2/(GAMMA) space. In a sharp-point limit S ..-->.. + 0 the nonrelativistic dynamics merges into the conventional local model. The relativistic dynamics is gauge invariant, it can be formulated covariantly in the relativistic phase space M/sub m/, it possesses a covariant propagator, it leaves the space of positive-energy solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation invariant, and it gives rise to a covariantmore »« less
