Landau pole

Last updated November 23, 2023

In physics, the Landau pole (or the Moscow zero, or the Landau ghost)^[1] is the momentum (or energy) scale at which the coupling constant (interaction strength) of a quantum field theory becomes infinite. Such a possibility was pointed out by the physicist Lev Landau and his colleagues.^[2] The fact that couplings depend on the momentum (or length) scale is the central idea behind the renormalization group.

Landau poles appear in theories that are not asymptotically free, such as quantum electrodynamics (QED) or $φ 4$ theory—a scalar field with a quartic interaction—such as may describe the Higgs boson. In these theories, the renormalized coupling constant grows with energy. A Landau pole appears when the coupling becomes infinite at a finite energy scale. In a theory purporting to be complete, this could be considered a mathematical inconsistency. A possible solution is that the renormalized charge could go to zero as the cut-off is removed, meaning that the charge is completely screened by quantum fluctuations (vacuum polarization). This is a case of quantum triviality,^[3] which means that quantum corrections completely suppress the interactions in the absence of a cut-off.

Since the Landau pole is normally identified through perturbative one-loop or two-loop calculations, it is possible that the pole is merely a sign that the perturbative approximation breaks down at strong coupling. Perturbation theory may also be invalid if non-adiabatic states exist. Lattice gauge theory provides a means to address questions in quantum field theory beyond the realm of perturbation theory, and thus has been used to attempt to resolve this question.

Numerical computations performed in this framework seem to confirm Landau's conclusion that in QED the renormalized charge completely vanishes for an infinite cutoff.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

Brief history

According to Landau, Abrikosov, and Khalatnikov,^[8] the relation of the observable charge $g obs$ to the "bare" charge $g 0$ for renormalizable field theories when $Λ ≫ m$ is given by

g_{\text{obs}}={\frac {g_{0}}{1+\beta _{2}g_{0}\ln \Lambda /m}}

(1)

where $m$ is the mass of the particle and $Λ$ is the momentum cut-off. If $g 0 < \infty$ and $Λ \to \infty$ then $g obs \to 0$ and the theory looks trivial. In fact, inverting Eq. 1 , so that $g 0$ (related to the length scale $Λ -1$ ) reveals an accurate value of $g obs$ ,

g_{0}={\frac {g_{\text{obs}}}{1-\beta _{2}g_{\text{obs}}\ln \Lambda /m}}.

(2)

As $Λ$ grows, the bare charge $g 0 = g (Λ)$ increases, to finally diverge at the renormalization point

\Lambda _{\text{Landau}}=m\exp \left[{\frac {1}{\beta _{2}g_{\text{obs}}}}\right].

(3)

This singularity is the Landau pole with a negative residue, $g (Λ) \approx -Λ Landau /(β 2 (Λ - Λ Landau))$ .

In fact, however, the growth of $g 0$ invalidates Eqs. 1 , 2 in the region $g 0 \approx 1$ , since these were obtained for $g 0 ≪ 1$ , so that the nonperturbative existence of the Landau pole becomes questionable.

The actual behavior of the charge $g (μ)$ as a function of the momentum scale $μ$ is determined by the Gell-Mann–Low equation^[9]

{\frac {\mathrm {d} g}{\mathrm {d} \ln \mu }}=\beta (g)=\beta _{2}g^{2}+\beta _{3}g^{3}+\cdots

(4)

which gives Eqs. 1 , 2 if it is integrated under conditions $g (μ) = g obs$ for $μ = m$ and $g (μ) = g 0$ for $μ = Λ$ , when only the term with $β 2$ is retained in the right hand side. The general behavior of $g (μ)$ depends on the appearance of the function $β (g)$ .

According to the classification of Bogoliubov and Shirkov,^[10] there are three qualitatively different cases:

if $β (g)$ has a zero at the finite value $g *$ , then growth of $g$ is saturated, i.e. $g (μ) \to g *$ for $μ \to \infty$ ;
if $β (g)$ is non-alternating and behaves as $β (g) \propto g α$ with $α \leq 1$ for large $g$ , then the growth of $g (μ)$ continues to infinity;
if $β (g) \propto g α$ with $α > 1$ for large $g$ , then $g (μ)$ is divergent at finite value $μ 0$ and the real Landau pole arises: the theory is internally inconsistent due to indeterminacy of $g (μ)$ for $μ > μ 0$ .

Landau and Pomeranchuk ^[11] tried to justify the possibility (c) in the case of QED and $φ 4$ theory. They have noted that the growth of $g 0$ in Eq. 1 drives the observable charge $g obs$ to the constant limit, which does not depend on $g 0$ . The same behavior can be obtained from the functional integrals, omitting the quadratic terms in the action. If neglecting the quadratic terms is valid already for $g 0 ≪ 1$ , it is all the more valid for $g 0$ of the order or greater than unity: it gives a reason to consider Eq. 1 to be valid for arbitrary $g 0$ . Validity of these considerations at the quantitative level is excluded by the non-quadratic form of the $β$ -function.^{[ citation needed ]}

Nevertheless, they can be correct qualitatively. Indeed, the result $g obs = const(g 0)$ can be obtained from the functional integrals only for $g 0 ≫ 1$ , while its validity for $g 0 ≪ 1$ , based on Eq. 1 , may be related to other reasons; for $g 0 \approx 1$ this result is probably violated but coincidence of two constant values in the order of magnitude can be expected from the matching condition. The Monte Carlo results ^[12] seems to confirm the qualitative validity of the Landau–Pomeranchuk arguments, although a different interpretation is also possible.

The case (c) in the Bogoliubov and Shirkov classification corresponds to the quantum triviality in full theory (beyond its perturbation context), as can be seen by a reductio ad absurdum. Indeed, if $g obs < \infty$ , the theory is internally inconsistent. The only way to avoid it, is for $μ 0 \to \infty$ , which is possible only for $g obs \to 0$ . It is a widespread belief ^{[ by whom? ]} that both QED and $φ 4$ theory are trivial in the continuum limit.

Phenomenological aspects

In a theory intended to represent a physical interaction where the coupling constant is known to be non-zero, Landau poles or triviality may be viewed as a sign of incompleteness in the theory. For example, QED is usually not believed to be a complete theory on its own, because it does not describe other fundamental interactions, and contains a Landau pole. Conventionally QED forms part of the more fundamental electroweak theory. The $U(1) Y$ group of electroweak theory also has a Landau pole which is usually considered^{[ by whom? ]} to be a signal of a need for an ultimate embedding into a Grand Unified Theory. The grand unified scale would provide a natural cutoff well below the Landau scale, preventing the pole from having observable physical consequences.

The problem of the Landau pole in QED is of purely academic interest, for the following reason. The role of $g obs$ in Eqs. 1 , 2 is played by the fine structure constant $α \approx 1/137$ and the Landau scale for QED is estimated as 10²⁸⁶ eV, which is far beyond any energy scale relevant to observable physics. For comparison, the maximum energies accessible at the Large Hadron Collider are of order 10¹³ eV, while the Planck scale, at which quantum gravity becomes important and the relevance of quantum field theory itself may be questioned, is 10²⁸ eV.

The Higgs boson in the Standard Model of particle physics is described by $φ 4$ theory (see Quartic interaction ). If the latter has a Landau pole, then this fact is used in setting a "triviality bound" on the Higgs mass. The bound depends on the scale at which new physics is assumed to enter and the maximum value of the quartic coupling permitted (its physical value is unknown). For large couplings, non-perturbative methods are required. Lattice calculations have also been useful in this context.^[13]

Connections with statistical physics

A deeper understanding of the physical meaning and generalization of the renormalization process leading to Landau poles comes from condensed matter physics. Leo P. Kadanoff's paper in 1966 proposed the "block-spin" renormalization group.^[14] The blocking idea is a way to define the components of the theory at large distances as aggregates of components at shorter distances. This approach was developed by Kenneth Wilson.^[15] He was awarded the Nobel prize for these decisive contributions in 1982.

Assume that we have a theory described by a certain function $Z$ of the state variables ${s i}$ and a set of coupling constants ${J k}$ . This function can be a partition function, an action, or a Hamiltonian. Consider a certain blocking transformation of the state variables ${s i} \to {~ s i}$ , the number of $~ s i$ must be lower than the number of $s i$ . Now let us try to rewrite $Z$ only in terms of the $~ s i$ . If this is achievable by a certain change in the parameters, $\{J_{k}\}\to \{{\tilde {J}}_{k}\}$ , then the theory is said to be renormalizable. The most important information in the RG flow are its fixed points. The possible macroscopic states of the system, at a large scale, are given by this set of fixed points. If these fixed points correspond to a free field theory, the theory is said to exhibit quantum triviality, and possesses a Landau pole. Numerous fixed points appear in the study of lattice Higgs theories, but it is not known whether these correspond to free field theories.^[3]

Large order perturbative calculations

Solution of the Landau pole problem requires the calculation of the Gell-Mann–Low function $β (g)$ at arbitrary $g$ and, in particular, its asymptotic behavior for $g \to \infty$ . Diagrammatic calculations allow one to obtain only a few expansion coefficients $β 2, β 3, ...$ , which do not allow one to investigate the $β$ function in the whole. Progress became possible after the development of the Lipatov method for calculating large orders of perturbation theory:^[16] One may now try to interpolate the known coefficients $β 2, β 3, ...$ with their large order behavior, and to then sum the perturbation series.

The first attempts of reconstruction of the $β$ function by this method bear on the triviality of the $φ 4$ theory. Application of more advanced summation methods yielded the exponent $α$ in the asymptotic behavior $β (g) \propto g α$ , a value close to unity. The hypothesis for the asymptotic behavior of $β (g) \propto g$ was recently presented analytically for $φ 4$ theory and QED.^[17]^[18]^[19] Together with positiveness of $β (g)$ , obtained by summation of the series, it suggests case (b) of the above Bogoliubov and Shirkov classification, and hence the absence of the Landau pole in these theories, assuming perturbation theory is valid (but see above discussion in the introduction ).

In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), color confinement, often simply called confinement, is the phenomenon that color-charged particles cannot be isolated, and therefore cannot be directly observed in normal conditions below the Hagedorn temperature of approximately 2 terakelvin. Quarks and gluons must clump together to form hadrons. The two main types of hadron are the mesons and the baryons. In addition, colorless glueballs formed only of gluons are also consistent with confinement, though difficult to identify experimentally. Quarks and gluons cannot be separated from their parent hadron without producing new hadrons.

Renormalization is a collection of techniques in quantum field theory, statistical field theory, and the theory of self-similar geometric structures, that are used to treat infinities arising in calculated quantities by altering values of these quantities to compensate for effects of their self-interactions. But even if no infinities arose in loop diagrams in quantum field theory, it could be shown that it would be necessary to renormalize the mass and fields appearing in the original Lagrangian.

In theoretical physics, the term renormalization group (RG) refers to a formal apparatus that allows systematic investigation of the changes of a physical system as viewed at different scales. In particle physics, it reflects the changes in the underlying force laws as the energy scale at which physical processes occur varies, energy/momentum and resolution distance scales being effectively conjugate under the uncertainty principle.

In quantum field theory, asymptotic freedom is a property of some gauge theories that causes interactions between particles to become asymptotically weaker as the energy scale increases and the corresponding length scale decreases.

In physics, a coupling constant or gauge coupling parameter, is a number that determines the strength of the force exerted in an interaction. Originally, the coupling constant related the force acting between two static bodies to the "charges" of the bodies divided by the distance squared, $, between the bodies; thus: in for Newtonian gravity and in for electrostatic. This description remains valid in modern physics for linear theories with static bodies and massless force carriers.$

In quantum field theory, a quartic interaction is a type of self-interaction in a scalar field. Other types of quartic interactions may be found under the topic of four-fermion interactions. A classical free scalar field $satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation. If a scalar field is denoted, a quartic interaction is represented by adding a potential energy term to the Lagrangian density. The coupling constant is dimensionless in 4-dimensional spacetime.$

In quantum field theory, a nonlinear σ model describes a scalar field $Σ$ which takes on values in a nonlinear manifold called the target manifold T. The non-linear σ-model was introduced by Gell-Mann & Lévy, who named it after a field corresponding to a spinless meson called σ in their model. This article deals primarily with the quantization of the non-linear sigma model; please refer to the base article on the sigma model for general definitions and classical (non-quantum) formulations and results.

In a quantum field theory, one may calculate an effective or running coupling constant that defines the coupling of the theory measured at a given momentum scale. One example of such a coupling constant is the electric charge.

In theoretical physics, scalar field theory can refer to a relativistically invariant classical or quantum theory of scalar fields. A scalar field is invariant under any Lorentz transformation.

In theoretical physics, the BRST formalism, or BRST quantization denotes a relatively rigorous mathematical approach to quantizing a field theory with a gauge symmetry. Quantization rules in earlier quantum field theory (QFT) frameworks resembled "prescriptions" or "heuristics" more than proofs, especially in non-abelian QFT, where the use of "ghost fields" with superficially bizarre properties is almost unavoidable for technical reasons related to renormalization and anomaly cancellation.

In physics, a renormalon is a particular source of divergence seen in perturbative approximations to quantum field theories (QFT). When a formally divergent series in a QFT is summed using Borel summation, the associated Borel transform of the series can have singularities as a function of the complex transform parameter. The renormalon is a possible type of singularity arising in this complex Borel plane, and is a counterpart of an instanton singularity. Associated with such singularities, renormalon contributions are discussed in the context of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and usually have the power-like form $as functions of the momentum . They are cited against the usual logarithmic effects like .$

In a quantum field theory, charge screening can restrict the value of the observable "renormalized" charge of a classical theory. If the only resulting value of the renormalized charge is zero, the theory is said to be "trivial" or noninteracting. Thus, surprisingly, a classical theory that appears to describe interacting particles can, when realized as a quantum field theory, become a "trivial" theory of noninteracting free particles. This phenomenon is referred to as quantum triviality. Strong evidence supports the idea that a field theory involving only a scalar Higgs boson is trivial in four spacetime dimensions, but the situation for realistic models including other particles in addition to the Higgs boson is not known in general. Nevertheless, because the Higgs boson plays a central role in the Standard Model of particle physics, the question of triviality in Higgs models is of great importance.

In theoretical physics, functional renormalization group (FRG) is an implementation of the renormalization group (RG) concept which is used in quantum and statistical field theory, especially when dealing with strongly interacting systems. The method combines functional methods of quantum field theory with the intuitive renormalization group idea of Kenneth G. Wilson. This technique allows to interpolate smoothly between the known microscopic laws and the complicated macroscopic phenomena in physical systems. In this sense, it bridges the transition from simplicity of microphysics to complexity of macrophysics. Figuratively speaking, FRG acts as a microscope with a variable resolution. One starts with a high-resolution picture of the known microphysical laws and subsequently decreases the resolution to obtain a coarse-grained picture of macroscopic collective phenomena. The method is nonperturbative, meaning that it does not rely on an expansion in a small coupling constant. Mathematically, FRG is based on an exact functional differential equation for a scale-dependent effective action.

Asymptotic safety is a concept in quantum field theory which aims at finding a consistent and predictive quantum theory of the gravitational field. Its key ingredient is a nontrivial fixed point of the theory's renormalization group flow which controls the behavior of the coupling constants in the ultraviolet (UV) regime and renders physical quantities safe from divergences. Although originally proposed by Steven Weinberg to find a theory of quantum gravity, the idea of a nontrivial fixed point providing a possible UV completion can be applied also to other field theories, in particular to perturbatively nonrenormalizable ones. In this respect, it is similar to quantum triviality.

The asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity provides a nonperturbative notion of renormalization in order to find a consistent and predictive quantum field theory of the gravitational interaction and spacetime geometry. It is based upon a nontrivial fixed point of the corresponding renormalization group (RG) flow such that the running coupling constants approach this fixed point in the ultraviolet (UV) limit. This suffices to avoid divergences in physical observables. Moreover, it has predictive power: Generically an arbitrary starting configuration of coupling constants given at some RG scale does not run into the fixed point for increasing scale, but a subset of configurations might have the desired UV properties. For this reason it is possible that — assuming a particular set of couplings has been measured in an experiment — the requirement of asymptotic safety fixes all remaining couplings in such a way that the UV fixed point is approached.
