We employ perturbative RG and $\epsilon$-expansion to study multi-critical single-scalar field theories with higher derivative kinetic terms of the form $\phi(-\Box)^k\phi$. We focus on those with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric critical point…
The consistency condition, which guarantees a well organized small-coupling asymptotic expansion for the thermodynamics of massless $\phi^4$-theory, is generalized to any desired order of the perturbative treatment. Based on a strong…
Perturbed projection for linear scaling solution of the coupled-perturbed self-consistent-field equations [Weber, Niklasson and Challacombe, Phys. Rev.\ Lett. {\bf 92}, 193002 (2004)] is extended to the computation of higher order static…
We introduce a new family of integrable theories with $N$ bosons and $N$ freely adjustable mass parameters. These theories restrict in particular limits to the ``generalized supersymmetric'' sine-Gordon models, as well as to the flavor…
We derive general bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPE coefficients in 4D conformal and N=1 superconformal field theories. In any CFT containing a scalar primary phi of dimension d we show that crossing symmetry of <phi…
We study the thermodynamics of massless phi-fourth theory using screened perturbation theory, which is a way to systematically reorganise the perturbative series. The free energy and pressure are calculated through four loops in a double…
The Landau-Wilson field theory with $O(n)\times O(m)$ symmetry which describes the critical thermodynamics of frustrated spin systems with noncollinear and noncoplanar ordering is analyzed in $4 - \varepsilon$ dimensions within the minimal…
We review and elaborate on some aspects of the classically scale-invariant renormalizable 4-derivative scalar theory $L= \phi\, \partial^4 \phi + g (\partial \phi)^4$. Similar models appear, e.g., in the context of conformal supergravity or…
We study SU(N) plane-wave matrix theory up to fourth perturbative order in its large N planar limit. The effective Hamiltonian in the closed su(2) subsector of the model is explicitly computed through a specially tailored computer program…
We introduce the theoretical framework we use to study the bewildering variety of phases in condensed--matter physics. We emphasize the importance of the breaking of symmetries, and develop the idea of an order parameter through several…
A cutoff version of the $\lambda \phi^4$ O(N) model is considered to leading order in 1/N with particular attention to the effective potential, which is surprisingly rich in structure. With suitable restriction on a background classical…
Recent developments of perturbation theory at finite temperature based on effective field theory methods are reviewed. These methods allow the contributions from the different scales to be separated and the perturbative series to be…
The effective potential for the order parameter $\phi ^{\dagger } \phi$ is investigated in massless $\phi ^{4}$-theory in the presence of magnetic fields at finite temperature. It is found that the first order nature of the phase transition…
We introduce a class of four dimensional field theories constructed by quotienting ordinary $\mathcal{N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM by particular combinations of R-symmetry and $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ automorphisms. These theories appear naturally on the…
We analyse elastic-pion nucleon scattering to fourth order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, extending the third order study published in Nucl. Phys. A640 (1998) 199. We use various partial wave analyses to pin down the low-energy…
We introduce a technique relying on the use of auxiliary fields in order to eliminate explicit field-derivatives that plague the high orders renormalization group treatment of shift-symmetric, derivative, theories. This technique simplifies…
Electron pairing at low temperatures leads to superconductivity. A fundamental question is whether more complex states - characterized by order in four-electron composite objects, termed electron quadrupling or composite order - can exist…
I derive the set of recurrence relations between the amplitudes of multiparticle production at threshold in the standard large-N limit of the O(N)-symmetric phi^4$ theory which sums all relevant diagrams with arbitrary number of loops. I…
We compute the renormalized trajectory of $\phi^4_4$-theory by perturbation theory in a running coupling. We use an exact infinitesimal renormalization group. The expansion is put into a form which is manifestly independent of the scale…
We study a class of perturbative scalar quantum field theories where dynamics is characterized by Lorentz-invariant or Lorentz-breaking non-local operators of fractional order and the underlying spacetime has a varying spectral dimension.…
