We give a short overview of the effective action approach in quantum field theory and quantum gravity and describe various methods for calculation of the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for second-order elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles over a compact Riemannian manifold. We consider both Laplace type operators and non-Laplace type operators on manifolds without boundary as well as Laplace type operators on manifolds with boundary with oblique and non-smooth boundary conditions.

  1. Higher-dimensional operators and Polyakov loop in hot Scalar QED from the heat kernel

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Computes dimension-six operators in finite-temperature massive scalar QED via heat kernel methods and evaluates their combined effect with the Polyakov loop on first-order phase transition thermodynamics.

  2. Gauge Choices, Infrared Pitfalls, and Thermal Effects in Effective Potentials

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Including a multiplicative anomaly or using the Heat Kernel method makes the one-loop effective potential in the Fermi gauge independent of the gauge parameter and improves its infrared behaviour, also at finite temperature.
