Wilsonian effective action for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with the Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition
Wilsonian effective action for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with the Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition
The Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition of the SU(2) Yang-Mills field is employed for the calculation of the corresponding Wilsonian effective action to one-loop order with covariant gauge fixing. The generation of a mass scale is observed, and the flow of the marginal couplings is studied. Our results indicate that higher-derivative terms of …
