We prove that in the Euclidean representation of the three dimensional massless Nelson model the t = 0 projection of the interacting measure is absolutely continuous with respect to a Gaussian measure with suitably adjusted mean. We also determine the Hamiltonian in the Fock space over this Gaussian measure space.
We study properties of the ground state of the Nelson model through functional integration. We obtain bounds on the average and the variance of the Bose field both in position and momentum space, on the distribution of the number of bosons, and on the position space distribution of the particle.
We prove that Nelson's massless scalar field model is infrared divergent in three dimensions. In particular, the Nelson Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonian obtained from Euclidean quantization are not unitarily equivalent. In contrast, for dimensions higher than three the Nelson Hamiltonian has a unique ground state in Fock space and the two Hamiltonians are unitarily equivalent. We also show that the Euclidean Hamiltonian has no spectral gap.
