We review Buchler and Colangelo's result that leading divergences at any loop order can be calculated using only one-loop calculations and we provide an alternative proof. We then use this method to calculate the leading divergences of and…
We consider the two-dimensional $\rm O(3)$ non-linear sigma model with topological term using a lattice regularization introduced by Shankar and Read [Nucl.Phys. B336 (1990), 457], that is suitable for studying the strong coupling regime.…
For N>4 there is a first order bulk transition that cleanly separates the strong and weak coupling regimes of SU(N) lattice gauge theories with the plaquette action. We find that in this case the calculated string tension can be readily…
We argue that the two-dimensional $O(N)$-invariant lattice $\sigma$-model with mixed isovector/isotensor action has a one-parameter family of nontrivial continuum limits, only one of which is the continuum $\sigma$-model constructed by…
We compute the beta-function and the anomalous dimension of all the non-derivative operators of the theory up to three-loops for the most general nearest-neighbour O(N)-invariant action together with some contributions to the four-loop…
Supersymmetric field theories can be characterized by their Nicolai map, which is a nonlinear and nonlocal field transformation to their free-field limit. The systematic construction of such maps has recently been outlined for actions with…
The nonlinear sigma model for which the field takes its values in the coset space $O(1,2)/O(2)\times Z_2$ is similar to quantum gravity in being perturbatively nonrenormalizable and having a noncompact curved configuration space. It is…
Recently it has been claimed that ordinary perturbation theory (OPT) gives incorrect weak coupling expansions for lattice O(N) non-linear sigma models in the infinite volume limit, and in particular that the two-dimensional non-abelian…
We study operators in the sl(2) sector of N=4 SYM in the generalised scaling limit, where the spin is large and the length of the operator scales with the logarithm of the spin. At leading order in the large spin expansion the scaling…
We present a Monte-Carlo algorithm for the simulation of the all-order strong coupling expansion of the Z2 gauge theory. This random surface ensemble is equivalent to the standard formulation, but allows to measure some quantities, like…
The loop equations in the $U(N)$ lattice gauge theory are represented in the form of constraints imposed on a generating functional for the Wilson loop correlators. These constraints form a closed algebra with respect to commutation. This…
We define a new large $N$ limit for general $\text{O}(N)^{R}$ or $\text{U}(N)^{R}$ invariant tensor models, based on an enhanced large $N$ scaling of the coupling constants. The resulting large $N$ expansion is organized in terms of a…
The main result of this paper is a rigorous computation of Wilson loop expectations in strongly coupled $SO(N)$ lattice gauge theory in the large $N$ limit, in any dimension. The formula appears as an absolutely convergent sum over…
Inverse Laplace transform on the lattice spacing is introduced as a computational framework of the extrapolation of the strong coupling expansion to the scaling region. We apply the transform to the two-dimensional non-linear O(N) model at…
We report the result of our evaluation of the Feynman diagrams appearing in the determination of the four-loop renormalization group functions in the two-dimensional lattice O($n$) $\sigma$-model by Caracciolo and Pelissetto. In the list of…
We calculate the one loop beta functions for nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions containing general two and four derivative terms. In the O(N) model there are four such terms and nontrivial fixed points exist for all N \geq 4. In the…
A $\theta$ term, which couples to topological charge, is added to the lattice $CP^{N-1}$ model. The strong-coupling character expansion is developed. The series for the free energy and mass gap are respectively computed to tenth order and…
We study the O(N) loop model on the Honeycomb lattice with real value $N \geq 1$ by means of a cluster algorithm. The formulation of the algorithm is based on the equivalence of the O(N) loop model and the low-temperature graphical…
We investigate by means of Monte Carlo simulation and Finite-Size Scaling analysis the critical properties of the three dimensional O(5) non linear sigma model and of the antiferromagnetic RP2 model, both of them regularized on a lattice.…
