Abstract

The finite temperature effective potential of the Abelian Higgs Model is studied using the self-consistent composite operator method, which sums up the contributions of daisy and superdaisy diagrams. The effect of the momentum dependence of the effective masses is estimated by using a Rayleigh-Ritz variational approximation.
