Abstract

The question of spontaneous symmetry breaking in dual models is investigated. In the context of a particular model with a conserved "charge", two different approaches to the problem, spurion emission and the effective potential methods, are developed. A method is described for the calculation of the effective potential, and it is applied to determine the first few terms of the potential.
