Derivation of the Recursion Relation for the Feynman Diagrams of the CJT effective action

Abstract

We derive a new recursion relation to obtain the Feynman diagrams of the Cornwall-Jackiw-Toumboulis(CJT) effective action by using the functional derivative identities. By using this recursion relation we show the two-particle-irreducibility of the Feynman diagrams of the CJT effective action by induction. We apply the recursion relation to obtain the Feynman diagrams of the CJT effective action up to the four-loop order in case of the bosonic field theory.
