All members of a recently proposed new set of (non-supersymmetric) grand unified theories with at the one-loop level vanishing beta functions for the gauge, Yukawa, and scalar-boson self-interaction coupling constants are shown to involve,…

Building on the limit theory for set functions, we prove that the limit of convergent sequence of bounded-degree graphs' cycle matroids can be represented as the cycle matroid of a graphing, analogous to the completeness result for…

We illustrate with several new applications the power and elegance of the Bendixson Dulac theorem to obtain upper bounds of the number of limit cycles for several families of planar vector fields. In some cases we propose to use a function…

The new method of nonperturbative calculation of the beta function in the lattice gauge theory is proposed. The method is based on the finite size scaling hypothesis.

In a recent work it was suggested that the number of limit cycles in a piecewise-linear system could be closely related to the number of zones, that is the number of parts of the phase plane where the system is linear. In this note we…

We prove that coexistence of two limit cycles with disjoint interior can not occur in certain quadratic systems

We compute the one-loop \beta-functions describing the renormalisation of the coupling constant \lambda and the frequency parameter \Omega for the real four-dimensional duality-covariant noncommutative \phi^4-model, which is renormalisable…

This PhD thesis is devoted to show that differential renormalization is a simple and useful renormalization method that we can use when dealing with gauge theories. In this work, it is shown how the one-loop results of Constraint…

The double sigma model with the strong constraints is equivalent to a classical theory of the normal sigma model with one on-shell self-duality relation. The one-form gauge field comes from the boundary term. It is the same as the normal…

Extending recent work of Kachru and Silverstein, we consider ``orbifolds'' of 4-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ SU(n) super-Yang-Mills theories with respect to discrete subgroups of the SU(4) $R$-symmetry which act nontrivially on the gauge…

Using machine learning techniques, we verify that the emergence of renormalization group limit cycles beyond the unitary limit is transferred from the three-boson subsystems to the whole four-boson system. Focussing on four identical…

Nonperturbative determinations of the renormalization group (RG) $\beta$ function are crucial to understand properties of gauge-fermion systems at strong coupling and connect lattice simulations and the perturbative ultraviolet regime.…

We discuss certain recent mathematical advances, mainly due to Perelman, in the theory of Ricci flows and their relevance for renormalization group (RG) flows. We consider nonlinear sigma models with closed target manifolds supporting a…

We calculate the renormalization constants of the maximally extended N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in the dimensional reduction scheme up to four loops. We have found, that the beta-function is zero both from gauge and Yukawa…

It is possible that self-induced oscillations appear in reactors, and that their range does not reach the steady state, although such state exists. To prove this, a cascade of tank reactors coupled with mass recycle loop was tested…

We introduce and study a new class of power-counting non-renormalisable gauge theories in four space-time dimensions. The Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the self-dual part of the field strength. The resulting perturbation theory has…

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…

Recently there has been much interest in gauge theories applied to condensed matter physics. I show that for a system of nonrelativistic electrons coupled to a U(1) gauge field in the presence of a Fermi surface, the beta-function to…

We derive a system of coupled flow equations for the proper-vertices of the background effective average action and we give an explicit representation of these by means of diagrammatic and momentum space techniques. This explicit…

This paper considers the problem of designing a continuous-time dynamical system that solves a constrained nonlinear optimization problem and makes the feasible set forward invariant and asymptotically stable. The invariance of the feasible…
