Field Decomposition and the Ground State Structure of SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory
Lisa Freyhult
Abstract
We compute the effective potential of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory using the background field method and the Faddeev-Niemi decomposition of the gauge fields. In particular, we find that the potential will depend on the values of two scalar fields in the decomposition and that its structure will give rise to a symmetry breaking.
