A nonlocal generalization of quantum field theory in which momentum space is the space of continuous maps of a circle into $\mathbf{R}^4$ is proposed. Functional integrals in this theory are proved to exist. Renormalized quantum field model…
We generalize the Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem on polynomial approximation in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the case where the polynomial ring $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ is replaced by a subring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ consisting of all…
A general model of dialton-Maxwell gravity in two dimensions is investigated. The corresponding one-loop effective action and the generalized $\beta$-functions are obtained. A set of models that are fixed points of the renormalization group…
We study the infimum of the renormalized volume for convex-cocompact hyperbolic manifolds, as well as describing how a sequence converging to such values behaves. In particular, we show that the renormalized volume is continuous under the…
Matrix models of 2D quantum gravity are either exactly solvable for matter of central charge $ c\leq 1, $ or not understood. It would be useful to devise an approximate scheme which would be reasonable for the known cases and could be…
An effective medium approach similar to the coherent potential approximation (CPA) in the theory of disordered alloys and to the DMFT has been extended to the renormalization group equations in the local potential approximation (LPA).…
In this work we present an algebraic proof of the renormazibility of the super-Yang-Mills action quantized in a generalized supersymmetric version of the maximal Abelian gauge. The main point stated here is that the generalized gauge…
Using the renormalisation group and a conjecture concerning the perturbation series for the effective potential, the leading logarithms in the effective potential are exactly summed for $O(N)$ scalar and Yukawa theories.
We discuss renormalisation group improvement of the effective potential both in general and in the context of $O(N)$ scalar $\p^4$ and the Standard Model. In the latter case we find that absolute stability of the electroweak vacuum implies…
The concept of convex compactness, weaker than the classical notion of compactness, is introduced and discussed. It is shown that a large class of convex subsets of topological vector spaces shares this property and that is can be used in…
We consider weighted norm inequalities for the Riesz potentials $I_\alpha$, also referred to as fractional integral operators. First we prove mixed $A_p$-$A_\infty$ type estimates in the spirit of [13, 15, 17]. Then we prove strong and weak…
We study the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n\geq 2$. In particular, we generalize and improve upper bounds for the Riesz means of order $\sigma\geq 3/2$ established in an article by…
The history of renormalization is reviewed with a critical eye, starting with Lorentz's theory of radiation damping, through perturbative QED with Dyson, Gell-Mann & Low, and others, to Wilson's formulation and Polchinski's functional…
We show that renormalization in quantum field theory is a special instance of a general mathematical procedure of multiplicative extraction of finite values based on the Riemann-Hilbert problem. Given a loop $\gamma(z), | z |=1$ of elements…
The renormalization group method is a successive integration over the fluctuations which are ordered according to their length scale, a parameter in the external space. A different procedure is described, where the fluctuations are treated…
We review the theory of renormalization, including perturbative renormalization, regularized functional integrals, Renormalization Group and rigorous renormalization.
In a previous paper "Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory and Cohomologies of Configuration Spaces" (arXiv:0903.0187) we presented a new method for renormalization in Euclidean configuration spaces based on certain renormalization maps. This…
The renormalization of MZV was until now carried out by algebraic means. We show that renormalization in general, of the multiple zeta functions in particular, is more than mere convention. We show that simple calculus methods allow us to…
In the usual procedure for toroidal Kaluza-Klein reduction, all the higher-dimensional fields are taken to be independent of the coordinates on the internal space. It has recently been observed that a generalisation of this procedure is…
We study the renormalizability in theories of a self-interacting Lifshitz scalar field. We show that although the statement of power-counting is true at one-loop order, in generic cases where the scalar field is dimensionless, an infinite…
