Renormalization of the Abelian–Higgs model in the Rξ and Unitary gauges and the physicality of its scalar potential
We perform an old school, one-loop renormalization of the Abelian–Higgs model in the Unitary and Rξ gauges, focused on the scalar potential and the gauge boson mass. Our goal is to demonstrate in this simple context the validity of the Unitary gauge at the quantum level, which could open the way for...
