Gauge Dependence in Effective Potentials and the Vilkovisky-DeWitt Formalism
Discussions surrounding the ambiguities of effective actions and potentials are reinforced by highlighting the necessity of an additional condition on the gauge-fixing function: its vacuum expectation value must vanish in the absence of external sources. The Vilkovisky-DeWitt approach is advocated a…
