Effective action approach to quantum phase transitions in bosonic lattices

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2009. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 51-54). === In this thesis, I develop a new, field-theoretic method for describing the quantum phase transition between Mott insulating and superfluid states observed in bosonic...
