We study gradient models for spins taking values in the integers (or an integer lattice), which interact via a general potential depending only on the differences of the spin values at neighboring sites, located on a regular tree with d + 1…
We study the validity of positivity bounds in the presence of a massless graviton, assuming the Regge behavior of the amplitude. Under this assumption, the problematic $t$-channel pole is canceled with the UV integral of the imaginary part…
We show that the Wigner equations describing the continuous spin representations can be obtained as a limit of massive higher-spin field equations. The limit involves a suitable scaling of the wave function, the mass going to zero and the…
The EFT coefficients in any gapped, scalar, Lorentz invariant field theory must satisfy positivity requirements if there is to exist a local, analytic Wilsonian UV completion. We apply these bounds to the tree level scattering amplitudes…

We present the first symmetry inheritance analysis of fields nonminimally coupled to gravity. In this work we are focused on the real scalar field $\phi$ with nonminimal coupling of the form $\xi\phi^2 R$. Possible cases of the symmetry…
We investigate lattice Weinberg - Salam model without fermions for the value of the Weinberg angle $\theta_W \sim 30^o$, and bare fine structure constant around $\alpha \sim 1/150$. We consider the value of the scalar self coupling…
We study two dimensional massless field in a box with potential $V\left( \nabla \phi \left( \cdot \right) \right) $ and zero boundary condition, where $V$ is any symmetric and uniformly convex function. Naddaf-Spencer and Miller proved the…
We build the complete supersymmetric version of a 3-3-1 gauge model using the superfield formalism. We point out that a discrete symmetry, similar to the R-symmetry in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, is possible to be defined in…
We study a general Scalar-Tensor Theory with an arbitrary coupling funtion $\omega (\phi )$ but also an arbitrary dependence of the ``gravitational constant'' $G(\phi )$ in the cases in which either one of them, or both, do not admit an…
We present a scale-invariant theory, conformal gravity, which closely resembles the geometrodynamical formulation of general relativity (GR). While previous attempts to create scale-invariant theories of gravity have been based on Weyl's…
For SOS (solid-on-solid) model with external field and with spin values from the set of all integers, on a Cayley tree we give gradient Gibbs measures (GGMs). Such a measure corresponds to a boundary law (a function defined on vertices of…
We consider translation-invariant interacting particle systems on the lattice with finite local state space admitting at least one Gibbs measure as a time-stationary measure. The dynamics can be irreversible but should satisfy some mild…
We discuss a new covariant scalar-tensor system aimed to realise Ho\v{r}ava proposal for a power-counting renormalizable theory of gravity, with the special feature of not propagating scalar degrees of freedom in an appropriate gauge. The…
Gibbs fields with continuous spins are studied, the underlying graphs of which can be of unbounded vertex degree and the spin-spin pair interaction potentials are random and unbounded. A high-temperature uniqueness of such fields is proved…
We assume one site measures without a boundary $e^{-\phi(x)}dx/Z$ that satisfy a log-Sobolev inequality. We prove that if these measures are perturbed with quadratic interactions, then the associated infinite dimensional Gibbs measure on…
We analyze the one-loop effects of massive fields on 2-to-2 scattering processes involving gravitons. It has been suggested that in the presence of gravity, any local effective field theory description must break down at the "species…

A noncommutative Feynman graph is a ribbon graph and can be drawn on a genus $g$ 2-surface with a boundary. We formulate a general convergence theorem for the noncommutative Feynman graphs in topological terms and prove it for some classes…
The measured (central) values of the Higgs and top quark masses indicate that the Standard Model (SM) effective potential develops an instability at high field values. The scale of this instability, determined as the Higgs field value at…
