Applying the Exact Renormalization Group to scalar field theory in Euclidean space of general (not necessarily integer) dimension, it is proven that the only fixed-point with vanishing anomalous dimension is the Gaussian one. The proof…

We apply the OPE inversion formula to thermal two-point functions of bosonic and fermionic CFTs in general odd dimensions. This allows us to analyze in detail the operator spectrum of these theories. We find that nontrivial thermal CFTs…

Non-Hermitian singularities are ubiquitous in non-conservative open systems. These singularities are often points of measure zero in the eigenspectrum of the system which make them difficult to access without careful engineering. Despite…
We consider the nonequilibrium evolution of an O(N)-symmetric scalar quantum field theory using a systematic two-particle irreducible 1/N-expansion to next-to-leading order, which includes scattering and memory effects. The corresponding…

We propose inverse renormalization group transformations within the context of quantum field theory that produce the appropriate critical fixed point structure, give rise to inverse flows in parameter space, and evade the critical slowing…
We illustrate how to apply modern effective field theory techniques and dimensional regularization to factorize the various scales which appear in non-relativistic bound states at finite temperature. We focus here on the simplest case: the…
