Self-interacting scalar fields on spacetime with compact hyperbolic spatial part
Abstract
We calculate the one-loop effective potential of a self-interacting scalar field on the spacetime of the form 2× H2/. The Selberg trace formula associated with a co-compact discrete group in PSL(2, ) (hyperbolic and elliptic elements only) is used. The closed form for the one-loop unrenormalized and renormalized effective potentials is given. The influence of non-trivial topology on curvature induced phase transitions is also discussed.
