Green's functions with continuum spectra are a way of avoiding the strong bounds on new physics from the absence of new narrow resonances in experimental data. We model such a situation with a five-dimensional model with two branes along…
We calculate universal finite-size scaling functions for systems with an n-component order parameter and algebraically decaying interactions. Just as previously has been found for short-range interactions, this leads to a singular…
We investigate instabilities and their regularization in theories of gravitation. Instabilities can be beneficial since their growth often leads to prominent observable signatures which makes them especially relevant to relatively low…
We discuss some properties of noncommutative supersymmetric field theories which do not involve gauge fields. We concentrate on the renormalizability issue of these theories.
We study three well known models of matter coupled to the ultraviolet cutoff, quantized radiation field and to the Coulomb potential of arbitrarily many nuclei. Two are nonrelativistic: the first uses the kinetic energy (p+eA(x))^2 and the…
We establish the ultra-violet finiteness of various classes of noncommutative gauge theories.
A Wilsonian renormalisation group is used to study nonrelativistic two-body scattering by a short-ranged potential. We identify two fixed points: a trivial one and one describing systems with a bound state at zero energy. The eigenvalues of…
Looking for an observable manifestation of the so-called unnaturalness of scalar fields we introduce a seemingly new set of differential equations for connected Green functions. These equations describe the momentum dependence of the Green…
Curci and Ferrari found a unique BRS-invariant action for non-Abelian gauge theories which includes a mass term for the gauge bosons. I analyze this action. While the BRS operator is not nilpotent, the Zinn-Justin equation generalizes in a…
We find that Euclidian or Minkowski gravity in d dimensions can be formally expressed as the restriction to a slice of a supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in d+1 dimensions with SO(d+1), SO(d,1) or SO(d-1,2) internal symmetry. We suggest…
We give examples of $L^{1}$-functions that are essentially unbounded on every nonempty open subset of their domains of definition. We obtain such functions as limits of weighted sums of functions with the unboundedly increasing number of…
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent…
It is shown that the Green's function on a finite lattice in arbitrary space dimension can be obtained from that of an infinite lattice by means of translation operator. Explicit examples are given for one- and two-dimensional lattices.
In this paper, we show how the finite formulation of QFT based on Callan-Symanzik equations can be generalised to the case of non-renormalizable theories. We derive an equation for effective action for an arbitrary single scalar field…
In this paper it is stressed that there is no {\em physical} reason for symmetries to be linear and that Lie group theory is therefore too restrictive. We illustrate this with some simple examples. Then we give a readable review on the…
A class of scalar models with non-polynomial interaction, which naturally admits an analytical resummation of the series of tadpole diagrams is studied in perturbation theory. In particular, we focus on a model containing only one…
As applied to quantum theories, the program of renormalization is successful for `renormalizable models' but fails for `nonrenormalizable models'. After some conceptual discussion and analysis, an enhanced program of renormalization is…
Renormalizable theory of massive nonabelian gauge fields, which does not require the existence of observable scalar fields is proposed.
We show that renormalized non-commutative scalar field theories do not reduce to their planar sector in the limit of large non-commutativity. This follows from the fact that the RG equation of the Wilson-Polchinski type which describes the…
Recent numerical studies of the 4D pure compact U(1) lattice gauge theory, I have participated in, are reviewed. We look for a possibility to construct an interesting nonperturbatively renormalizable continuum theory at the phase transition…
