Higgs mode in $2+1$ dimensional $O(2)$ model

Abstract

We investigate the spectral functions of the Higgs mode in $O(2)$ model, which can be experimentally realized in a 2D Bose gas. Zero temperature limit is considered. Our calculation fully includes the 2-loop contributions. Peaks show up in the spectral functions of both the longitudinal and the scalar susceptibilities. Thus this model cannot explain the disappearance of the response at the weak interaction limit. Neither it can explain the similarity between the longitudinal and the scalar susceptibilities in the visibility of the Higgs mode. A possible lower peak at about $2m_{\sigma}$ is also noted.
