We study the local-triviality dimensions of actions on $C^*$-algebras, which are invariants developed for noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam theory. While finiteness of the local-triviality dimensions is known to guarantee freeness of an action, we…
Fusion is defined for arbitrary lowest weight representations of $W$-algebras, without assuming rationality. Explicit algorithms are given. A category of quasirational representations is defined and shown to be stable under fusion.…
It is well known that, in the first-order formalism, pure three-dimensional gravity is just the BF theory. Similarly, four-dimensional general relativity can be formulated as BF theory with an additional constraint term added to the…
The usual formulation of quantum theory is rather abstract. In recent work I have shown that we can, nevertheless, obtain quantum theory from five reasonable axioms. Four of these axioms are obviously consistent with both classical…
We study the sector of large charge operators $\phi^n$ ($\phi$ being the complexified scalar field) in the $O(2)$ Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $4-\epsilon$ dimensions that emerges when the coupling takes the critical value $g\sim \epsilon$.…
We prove that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative \phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains…
We have done a study of the zero-dimensional $\lambda\phi^{4}$ model. Firstly, we exhibit the partition function as a simple exact expression in terms of the Macdonald's function for $Re(\lambda)>0$. Secondly, an analytic continuation of…
In 1970 Kurt Symanzik proposed a "precarious" phi**4-theory with a negative quartic coupling constant as a valid candidate for an asymptotically free theory of strong interactions. Symanzik's deep insight in the non-trivial properties of…
We study the structure of the partial order induced by the definability relation on definitions of truth for the language of arithmetic. Formally, a definition of truth is any sentence $\alpha$ which extends a weak arithmetical theory…
We prove the so-called inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}-norm in the case s = 3 (the cases s < 3 being established in previous literature). That is, we establish that if f : [N] -> C is a function with |f(n)| <= 1 for all n and || f…
In this paper we consider $\phi^4$ theory in $4-\epsilon$ dimensions at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point where the theory becomes conformal. We extend the method in arXiv:1505.00963 for calculating the leading order term in the anomalous…
We give a definition of a coherent adjunction in a $4$-category consisting of a finite list of $k$-morphisms for $k\leq 4$, plus equations beetween $4$-morphisms. We prove that the restriction map from the space of coherent adjunctions in a…
With the help of variational perturbation theory we continue the renormalization constants $\phi^4$-theories in $4- \epsilon$ dimensions to strong bare couplings $g_0$ and find their power behavior in $g_0$, thereby determining all critical…
We prove that a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is semisimple if the algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of ${\mathcal A}$ is semisimple. When ${\mathcal A}$ is not semisimple, we give the upper and lower bounds for the…
A function $f:N\rightarrow N$ is sublinear, if \[\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty}\frac{f(x)}{x}=0.\] If $A$ is an Abelian group, $G$ is a graph and $\phi$ is an $A$-flow in $G$, then let $N(\phi)$ be the nullity of $\phi$, that is, the set of…
Dimensional analysis shows that the speed of light and Newton's constant of gravitation can be combined to define a quantity $F_* = {c^4\over G_N}$ with the dimensions of force (equivalently, tension). Then in any physical situation we must…
A fundamental issue in the renormalization-group (RG) theory of critical phenomena concerns the allowed values of critical exponents that are consistent with the continuous nature of a phase transition. Here we conjecture a lower bound for…
We critically analyze the introduction of an independent zero momentum mode field renormalization for Phi4. It leads to an infrared divergent effective action. It does not achieve its purpose: triviality still gives massless particles in…
The free Schroedinger theory in d space dimensions is a non-relativistic conformal field theory. The interacting non-linear theory preserves this symmetry in specific numbers of dimensions at the classical (tree) level. This holds in…
The concept of electromagnetic field can be neatly formulated by recognizing that the simplest form of the four-force is indeed feasible. We show that Maxwell's equations almost entirely stem from the properties of spacetime, notably from…
