We provide a brief review of recent progress in the study of mesons using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations. Along the way we touch on aspects of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking but in the main focus upon: exact results for…
A fractal construction shows that, for any beta>0, the beta-skeleton of a point set can have arbitrarily large dilation. In particular this applies to the Gabriel graph.
We give closed-form expressions for the Dirichlet beta function at even positive integers and for the Dirichlet lambda function at odd positive integers, based on the function J(s) defined via convergent integral. We also show fundamental…
By explicit solution of the one-loop finiteness conditions for all dimensionless coupling constants (i.~e., gauge coupling constant as well as Yukawa and quartic scalar-boson self-interaction coupling constants), two classes of grand…
Using differential renormalization, we calculate the complete two-point function of the background gauge superfield in pure N=1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to two loops. Ultraviolet and (off-shell) infrared divergences are renormalized…
We investigate the renormalisation of Einstein gravity using a novel subtraction scheme in dimensional regularisation. The one-loop beta function for Newton's constant receives contributions from poles in even dimensions and can be mapped…
We consider a one parameter family of a PT symmetric two dimensional system with quadratic non-linearities. Such systems are shown to perform periodic oscillations due to existing centers. We describe this systems by constructing a…
In the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory, correlation functions involving a degenerate field satisfy partial differential equations due to the decoupling of the null descendant field. On the other hand, the instanton…
We construct a hierarchy of loop equations for invariant circular ensembles. These are valid for general classes of potentials and for arbitrary inverse temperatures $ {\rm Re}\,\beta>0 $ and number of eigenvalues $ N $. Using matching…
We analyse two new versions of \theta-expanded non-commutative quantum electrodynamics up to first order in \theta and first loop order. In the first version we expand the bosonic sector using the Seiberg-Witten map, leaving the fermions…
This letter examines diagrammatic cancellations for Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in the general linear gauge. These cancellations combine Feynman graphs of various topologies and provide a method to reconstruct the gauge dependence of the…
We derive the Callan-Symanzik equation of the electroweak Standard Model in the QED-like on-shell parameterization. The various coefficient functions, the $\beta$-functions and anomalous dimensions, are determined in one-loop order in the…
We develop the ODE/IM correspondence for the higher-order Mathieu equation arising from the quantum Seiberg-Witten curve of the pure $SU(r+1)$ ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. From the subdominant solutions, we construct the…
Perturbative solutions for unpolarized QED parton distribution and fragmentation functions are presented explicitly in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. The scheme of iterative solution of QED evolution equations is described…
Under certain assumptions and independent of the instantons, we show that the logarithm expansion of dimensional regularization in quantum field theory needs a nonperturbative completion to have a renormalization-group flow valid at all…
All members of a recently proposed new set of (non-supersymmetric) grand unified theories with at the one-loop level vanishing beta functions for the gauge, Yukawa, and scalar-boson self-interaction coupling constants are shown to involve,…
We consider the resolvent of a system of first order differential operators with a regular singularity, admitting a family of self-adjoint extensions. We find that the asymptotic expansion for the resolvent in the general case presents…
In two companion papers it was shown how to separate out from a scattering function in quantum electrodynamics a distinguished part that meets the correspondence-principle and pole-factorization requirements. The integrals that define the…
I introduce an approximation scheme that allows to deduce differential equations for the renormalization group $\beta$-function from a Schwinger--Dyson equation for the propagator. This approximation is proven to give the dominant…
We review recent activity in the construction of the renormalization group functions for O(N) scalar and gauge theories in six and higher dimensions. The theories lie in their respective universality classes at the Wilson-Fisher fixed…
