In this article we extend a previous discussion about the influence of an external magnetic field on renormalons in a self interacting scalar theory by including now temperature effects, in the imaginary formalism, together with an external weak external magnetic field. We show that the location of poles in the Borel plane does not change, getting their residues, however, a dependence on temperature and on the magnetic field.The effects of temperature and the magnetic field strength on the residues turn out to be opposite. We present a detailed discussion about the evolution of these residues, showing technical details involved in the calculation.

We present an analysis about the influence of an external magnetic field on renormalons in a self interacting theory $lambda phi ^{4}$. In the weak magnetic field region, using an appropriate expansion for the Schwinger propagators, we find new renormalons as poles on the real axis of the Borel plane, whose position do not depend on the magnetic field, but where the residues acquire in fact a magnetic dependence. In the strong magnetic limit, working in the lowest Landau level approximation (LLLA), these new poles are not longer present. We compare the magnetic scenario with previous results in the literature concerning thermal effects on renormalons in this theory.
We apply the projection operator method (POM) to $phi^4$ theory and derive both quantum and semiclassical equations of motion for the soft modes. These equations have no time-convolution integral term, in sharp contrast with other well-known results obtained using the influence functional method (IFM) and the closed time path method (CTP). However, except for the fluctuation force field terms, these equations are similar to the corresponding equations obtained using IFM with the linear harmonic approximation, which was introduced to remove the time-convolution integral. The quantum equation of motion in POM can be regarded as a kind of quantum Langevin equation in which the fluctuation force field is given in terms of the operators of the hard modes. These operators are then replaced with c-numbers using a certain procedure to obtain a semiclassical Langevin equation. It is pointed out that there are significant differences between the fluctuation force fields introduced in this paper and those introduced in IFM. The arbitrariness of the definition of the fluctuation force field in IFM is also discussed.
We consider a symmetric scalar theory with quartic coupling in 4-dimensions. We show that the 4 loop 2PI calculation can be done using a renormalization group method. The calculation involves one bare coupling constant which is introduced at the level of the Lagrangian and is therefore conceptually simpler than a standard 2PI calculation, which requires multiple counterterms. We explain how our method can be used to do the corresponding calculation at the 4PI level, which cannot be done using any known method by introducing counterterms.
We study kink-antikink scattering in a one-parameter variant of the $phi^4$ theory where the model parameter controls the static intersoliton force. We interpolate between the limit of no static force (BPS limit) and the regime where the static interaction is small (non-BPS). This allows us to study the impact of the strength of the intersoliton static force on the soliton dynamics. In particular, we analyze how the transition of a bound mode through the mass threshold affects the soliton dynamics in a generic process, i.e., when a static intersoliton force shows up. We show that the thin, precisely localized spectral wall which forms in the limit of no static force, broadens in a well-defined manner when a static force is included, giving rise to what we will call a thick spectral wall. This phenomenon just requires that a discrete mode crosses into the continuum at some intermediate stage of the dynamics and, therefore, should be observable in many soliton-antisoliton collisions.
We present a new scheme which numerically evaluates the real-time path integral for $phi^4$ real scalar field theory in a lattice version of the closed-time formalism. First step of the scheme is to rewrite the path integral in an explicitly convergent form by applying Cauchys integral theorem to each scalar field. In the step an integration path for the scalar field is deformed on a complex plane such that the $phi^4$ term becomes a damping factor in the path integral. Secondly the integrations of the complexified scalar fields are discretized by the Gauss-Hermite quadrature and then the path integral turns out to be a multiple sum. Finally in order to efficiently evaluate the summation we apply information compression technique using the singular value decomposition to the discretized path integral, then a tensor network representation for the path integral is obtained after integrating the discretized fields. As a demonstration, by using the resulting tensor network we numerically evaluate the time-correlator in 1+1 dimensional system. For confirmation, we compare our result with the exact one at small spatial volume. Furthermore, we show the correlator in relatively large volume using a coarse-graining scheme and verify that the result is stable against changes of a truncation order for the coarse-graining scheme.
