Gaussian free-energy logarithm at effective dimension two

ID: gaussian-free-energy-logarithm-at-effective-dimension-two

For a quadratic determinant in two effective momentum dimensions, differentiating the free-energy density with respect to the squared mass gives a term proportional to . Integration gives after subtracting analytic terms. Its thermal power index is still 1, but a strictly homogeneous pure-power expression misses this logarithm. It is a Gaussian determinant resonance, distinct from interaction-generated logarithms at an upper critical dimension.
