The field theoretic renormalization group is applied to a simple model of random walk on a rough fluctuating surface. We consider the Fokker--Planck equation for a particle in a uniform gravitational field. The surface is modelled by the…
In this article we prove a sufficient condition of quasi-normality in higher dimension for a family of meromorphic mappings in which each pair of functions of family shares some moving hypersurfaces. We also prove a normality criterion…
We give a condition for an almost constant-type manifold to be a constant-type manifold, and holomorphic and $R$-invariant submanifolds of almost Hermitian manifolds are studied. Generalizations of some results in [5] are given.
The description of symmetry breaking proposed by K. Symanzik within the framework of renormalizable theories is generalized from the geometrical point of view. For an arbitrary compact Lie group, a soft breaking of arbitrary covariance, and…
We derive the Wilsonian renormalization group equation in two dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models. This equation shows that the sigma models on compact Einstein K\"{a}hler manifolds are aymptotically free. This…
A consistent set of asymptotic conditions for the simplest supergravity theory without cosmological constant in three dimensions is proposed. The canonical generators associated to the asymptotic symmetries are shown to span a…
Approximation only by derivative (or more generally momentum) expansions, combined with reparametrization invariance, turns the continuous renormalization group for quantum field theory into a set of partial differential equations which at…
Extending a classic result of Johnson and Newman, this paper provides a matrix characterization for two generalized cospectral graphs with a pair of generalized cospectral vertex-deleted subgraphs. As an application, we present a new…
This is a supplement to an earlier paper (PRD 84, 023510 (2011)), where those shearfree normal cosmological models were identified, in which all light rays have repeatable paths. All of them are conformally flat, but less general than the…
A class of exact infinitesimal renormalization group transformations is proposed and studied. These transformations are pure changes of variables (i.e., no integration or elimination of some degrees of freedom is required) such that a…
The conditions leading to a nontrivial renormalization of the topological charge in four--dimensional Yang--Mills theory are discussed. It is shown that if the topological term is regarded as the limit of a certain nontopological…
Field theories compactified on non-simply connected spaces, which in general allow to impose twisted boundary conditions, are found to unexpectedly have a rich phase structure. One of characteristic features of such theories is the…
In this work, we revisit the scaling analysis and commonly accepted conditions for the validity of the standard, reverse and total quasi-steady-state approximations through the lens of dimensional Tikhonov-Fenichel parameters and their…
We employ Chen's conformal invariant quantity [8, Theorem 1] in combination with the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formulas to obtain expressions for the renormalized area of asymptotically minimal hypersurfaces in the $(2n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic…
We review the renormalization of the electroweak sector of the standard model. The derivation also applies to the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We discuss regularization and the relation between the threshold corrections and the…
Given a map of simplicial topological spaces, mild conditions on degeneracies and the levelwise maps imply that the geometric realization of the simplicial map is a cofibration. These conditions are not formal consequences of model category…
The renormalization-group improved effective potential ---to leading-log and in the linear curvature approximation--- is constructed for ``finite'' theories in curved spacetime. It is not trivial and displays a quite interesting,…
We present a perturbative construction of interacting quantum field theories on any smooth globally hyperbolic manifold. We develop a purely local version of the Stueckelberg-Bogoliubov-Epstein-Glaser method of renormalization using…
The usual renormalization procedure for the variational approximation with a trial Gaussian ansatz for the $\lap$ model in 3+1 dimensions is re-analysed as a departing framework for the investigation of the parameters of the model. The…
The intricate machinery of perturbative quantum field theory has largely been devoted to the 'dynamical' side of the theory: simple states are evolved in complicated ways. This article begins to address this lopsided treatment. Although it…
