On the relationship between gauge dependence and IR divergences in the ℏ-expansion of the effective potential

Abstract Perturbative calculations of the effective potential evaluated at a broken minimum, V min, are plagued by difficulties. It is hard to get a finite and gauge invariant result for V min. In fact, the methods proposed to deal with gauge dependence and ir divergences are orthogonal in their app...
