7.7 Mean Field Theory 271<br />

The second one is that the minimum should become increasingly shallow as a → 0,<br />

which leads to larger fluctuations in the average curvature. But in the end one does<br />

not expect the mean field theory to be quantitatively accurate, just as it is not for<br />

scalar field theories in low dimensions. It only represents an effective theory for the<br />

average local curvature, which is represented here as a single scalar quantity.
