We obtain effective potential of $O(N)$-symmetric $\phi^4$ theory for large $N$ starting with a finite lattice system and taking the thermodynamic limit with great care. In the thermodynamic limit, it is globally real-valued and convex in…
We prove that if $T$ is an $\omega$-categorical supersimple theory with nontrivial dependence (given by forking), then there is a nontrivial regular 1-type over a finite set of reals which is realized by real elements; hence forking induces…
Various formulations of the exact renormalization group can be compared in the perturbative domain, in which we have reliable expressions for regularization-independent (universal) quantities. We consider the renormalization of the…
This study has the purpose of addressing four questions that lie at the base of the probability theory and statistics, and includes two main steps. As first, we conduct the textual analysis of the most significant works written by eminent…
"Mathematicians, like physicists, are pushed by a strong fascination. Research in mathematics is hard, it is intellectually painful even if it is rewarding, and you would not do it without some strong urge." [D. Ruelle]. We shall give some…
The renormalization of the two dimensional light-front quantized $\phi^{4}$ theory is discussed. The mass renormalization condition and the renormalized constraint equation are shown to contain all the information to describe the phase…
We derive the Gell-Mann and Low renormalization group equation in the Wilsonian approach to renormalization of massless $g\phi^4$ in four dimensions, as a particular case of a non-linear equation satisfied at any scale by the Wilsonian…
We review our recent construction of the $\phi^4$-model on four-dimensional Moyal space. A milestone is the exact solution of the quartic matrix model $Z[E,J]=\int d\Phi \exp(tr(J\Phi- E\Phi^2 -(\lambda/4) \Phi^4))$ in terms of the solution…
We review the issue of Borel summability in the framework of multiscale analysis and renormalization group, by discussing a proof of Borel summability of the $\phi^{4}_4$ massive euclidean planar theory; this result is not new, since it was…
In this paper we prove Chaitin's ``heuristic principle'', {\it the theorems of a finitely-specified theory cannot be significantly more complex than the theory itself}, for an appropriate measure of complexity. We show that the measure is…
We analyze 2+1-dimensional gravity in the framework of quantum gauge theory. We find that Einstein gravity has a trivial physical subspace which reflects the fact that the classical solution in empty space is flat. Therefore we study…
The present paper, III, is the third part of a series of papers, under the global title "the non triviality of a $\Phi_4^4$ model". Parts I and II have been previously completed. In them thanks to the properties we dubbed "splitting -tree…
Einstein field equations are second-order differential equations. In this paper, we propose a new gravity theory with pure fourth-order field equations, which we call 4G for brevity. We discuss the applications of 4G in cosmology,…
We study the noncommutative $\phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction…
A new technique named Generalized Borel Transform (GBT) is applied to the generating functional of the $\Phi^{4}$ theory in zero dimensions with degenerate minima. The analytical solution of this function, obtained in the non perturbative…
By using an analogy with the case of very close zeros symmetric with respect to the critical line of the Davenport and Heilbronn function, we study the conformal mapping of L-functions in a neighborhood of a hypothetical double zero and…
A theory of gravity with a generic action functional and minimally coupled to N matter fields has a nontrivial fixed point in the leading large N approximation. At this fixed point, the cosmological constant and Newton's constant are…
Simplicial quantum gravity has been proposed as a regularization for four dimensional quantum gravity. The partition function is constructed by performing a weighted sum over all triangulations of the 4-sphere. The model is well-defined…
We calculate the four-point function in \lambda\phi^4 theory by using Krein regularization and compare our result, which is finite, with the usual result in \lambda\phi^4 theory. The effective coupling constant (\lambda_\mu) is also…
We discuss the renormalizability of Phi-derivable approximations in scalar phi^4 theory in four dimensions. The formalism leads to self-consistent equations for the 2-point and the 4-point functions which are plagued by ultraviolet…
