A new method to calculate the n-Particle Irreducible Effective Action
, 2012 In this paper, we present a new method to calculate the n-Loop n-particle irreducible effective action. The key is an organizational trick that involves the introduction of a set of fictitious bare vertices that are set to zero at the end of the ...
