We investigate the phase diagram, and the nature of the phase transitions, of three-dimensional monopole-free CP(N-1) models, characterized by a global U(N) symmetry and a U(1) gauge symmetry, and the absence of monopoles. We present…
We consider a four-dimensional theory in the z=3 Lifshitz context, with an exponential (Liouville) potential. We determine the exact renormalized potential of the theory and derive the non-perturbative relation between the renormalized and…
In general, perturbative expansions of observables in powers of the coupling constant in quantum field theories are asymptotic series. In many cases it is possible to apply resummation techniques to assign a unique finite value to an…
We consider the hermitian matrix model with an external field entering the quadratic term $\tr(\Lambda X\Lambda X)$ and Penner--like interaction term $\alpha N(\log(1+X)-X)$. An explicit solution in the leading order in $N$ is presented.…
We study a non-equilibrium dynamical model: a marked continuous contact model in $d$-dimensional space, $d \ge 1$. In contrast with the continuous contact model in a critical regime, see \cite{KKP}, \cite{KPZ}, the model under consideration…
We study two dimensional path integral Lefschetz thimbles, i.e. the possible path integration contours. Specifically, in the examples of the $O(N)$ and ${\bf CP}^{N-1}$ models, we find a large class of complex critical points of the sigma…
We consider a two dimensional model of non-interacting chains of spinless fermions weakly coupled via a small inter-chain hopping and a repulsive inter-chain interaction. The phase diagram of this model has a surprising feature: an abrupt…
A Chern--Simons system in $2+1$ dimensions invariant under local Lorentz rotations, $SU(2)$ gauge transformations, and local $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry transformations is proposed. The field content is that of $(2+1)$-gravity plus an…
A new model of nonlinear electrodynamics with three parameters is suggested and investigated. It is shown that if the external constant magnetic field presents the phenomenon of vacuum birefringence takes place. The indexes of refraction…
Electrons in strong magnetic fields can be described by one-dimensional models in which the Coulomb potential and interactions are replaced by regularizations associated with the lowest Landau band. For a large class of models of these…
We consider the role of quantum effects in the non-perturbative decay of non-abelian string with orientational moduli in non-supersymmetric D=4 gauge theory. To this aim the effective action in the $CP(N-1)$ model on a disc at large N has…
The phase diagram of massless quantum electrodynamics in three space-time dimensions as a function of fermion flavor number $N$ exhibits two well-known phases: at large $N > N_c^{conf}$ the system is in a conformal gapless state, while for…
We present a candidate quantum field theory of gravity with dynamical critical exponent equal to z=3 in the UV. (As in condensed matter systems, z measures the degree of anisotropy between space and time.) This theory, which at short…
Generative models based on invertible transformations provide a physics-aware route to sample equilibrium configurations directly from the Boltzmann distribution, enabling efficient exploration of complex thermodynamic landscapes. Here, we…
Taking as starting point a Lorentz and CPT non-invariant Chern-Simons-like model defined in 1+3 dimensions, we proceed realizing its dimensional reduction to D=1+2. One then obtains a new planar model, composed by the Maxwell-Chern-Simons…
We determine exactly the fixed point Hamiltonian of the one dimensional multichannel Kondo-Heisenberg lattice model for any number of channels N>=2. An anomalous singlet with non trivial internal dynamics is generated. We compute the…
We use holography to study the spontaneous condensation of a neutral order parameter in a (2+1)-dimensional field theory at zero-temperature and finite density, dual to the electron star background of Hartnoll and Tavanfar. An appealing…
Low-energy remnant fundamental symmetry violations may be present in nature at levels attainable in upcoming experiments. These effects may arise through spontaneous symmetry breaking in a more complete Lorentz covariant theory underlying…
Critical dynamics of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, coupled to a constant electromagnetic field in D=2, 3, and 4, is reconsidered from a viewpoint of infrared behavior and vacuum instability. The latter is associated with constant electric…
Gauge theories with no Maxwell term are investigated in various setups. The dynamical generation of the Maxwell term is correlated to the scale invariance properties of the system. This is discussed mainly in the cases where the gauge…
