Calculations of high-energy processes involving the production of a large number of particles in weakly-coupled quantum field theories have previously signaled the need for novel nonperturbative behavior or even new physical phenomena. In some scenarios, already tree-level computations may enter the regime of large-order perturbation theory and therefore require a careful investigation. We demonstrate that in scalar quantum field theories with a unique global minimum, where suitably resummed…

Calculations of high multiplicity Higgs amplitudes exhibit a rapid growth that may signal an end of perturbative behavior or even the need for new physics phenomena. As a step towards this problem we

Abstract Motivated by recent investigations in sphaleron physics, we discuss several ways in which even weakly-coupled gauge theories, like the standard model, show non-perturbative features at

Abstract We use singular euclidean solutions to calculate semiclassically the cross sections for the production of some coherent multiparticle states in quantum field theories. In the weakly coupled

It is found that all the 1 → n amplitudes have no absorptive part at the thresholds to any order of perturbation theory, which implies nontrivial relations between multiboson threshold production amplitudes.

Breakdown of perturbation theory at tree level in theories with scalars
Abstract It is shown that the cross section for q q →n Higgs in the standard model becomes non-perturbative in tree approximation at CM energies and multiplicities approximately given by √ s 100–300
