We clarify a discrepancy between two previous calculations of the two-loop QED Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian, both performed in proper-time regularization, by calculating this quantity in dimensional regularization.
We present a renormalization lemma for certain maps defined on the unit disc of C and taking values in some metric space. We show that the classical renormalization lemmas of Zalcman and Miniowitz can be deduced from our lemma. We also use…
We propose an algorithm for robust recovery of the spherical harmonic expansion of functions defined on the d-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ using a near-optimal number of function evaluations. We show that for any $f \in…

We present explicit filtration/backprojection-type formulae for the inversion of the spherical (circular) mean transform with the centers lying on the boundary of some polyhedra (or polygons, in 2D). The formulae are derived using the…
The present paper provides a general formula for the dimension of spline space over T-meshes using smoothing cofactor-conformality method. And we introduce a new notion, Diagonalizable T-mesh, over which the dimension formula is only…
The autonomous renormalization of the O(N)-symmetric scalar theory is based on an infinite re-scaling of constant fields, whereas finite-momentum modes remain finite. The natural framework for a detailed analysis of this method is a system…
Let Gamma\D be an arithmetic quotient of a symmetric space of non-compact type. A spine D_0 is a Gamma-equivariant deformation retraction of D with dimension equal to the virtual cohomological dimension of Gamma. We explicitly construct a…
Effective potential for scalar $\lambda\phi^4$ theory is obtained using the exact renormalization group method which includes both the usual one-loop contribution as well as the dominant higher loop effects. Our numerical calculation…
It is shown that the local coupling of a higher dimensional graviton to a closed degenerate two-form produces dimensional reduction by spontaneous breakdown of extra-dimensional translational symmetry. Four dimensional Poincar\'e invariance…
We study the Principal Chiral Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson model around two dimensions within the Local Potential Approximation of an Exact Renormalization Group equation. This model, relevant for the long distance physics of classical frustrated…
The noncommutative selfdual \phi^3 model in 6 dimensions is quantized and essentially solved, by mapping it to the Kontsevich model. The model is shown to be renormalizable and asymptotically free, and solvable genus by genus. It requires…
Analogous to the famous Euler angle parametrization in three-dimensional Euclidean space, a reflection-free Lorentz transformation in (2+1)-dimensional Minkowski space can be decomposed into three simple parts. Applying this decomposition…
We consider the homogenisation problem for the $\phi^4_2$ equation on the torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, namely the behaviour as $\varepsilon \to 0$ of the solutions to the equation suggestively written as $$ \partial_t u_\varepsilon - \nabla\cdot…
