It has been shown recently that the introduction of an unphysical $\epsilon$-scalar mass $\tilde{m}$ is necessary for the proper renormalization of softly broken supersymmetric theories by dimensional reduction ($\drbar$). In these…
Approximated functional renormalization group (FRG) equations lead to regulator-dependent $\beta$-functions, in analogy to the scheme-dependence of the perturbative renormalization group (pRG) approach. A scheme transformation redefines the…
A self-consistent renormalization group flow equation for the scalar lambda phi^4 theory is analyzed and compared with the local potential approximation. The two prescriptions coincide in the sharp cutoff limit but differ with a smooth…
We propose a mechanism of R-symmetry breaking in four-dimensional DSB models based on the RG properties of the coupling constants. By constraining the UV sector, we generate new hierarchies amongst the couplings that allow a spontaneously…
Using the new regularization and renormalization scheme recently proposed by Yang and used by Ni et al, we analyse the sine-Gordon and sinh-Gordon models within the framework of Gaussian effective potential in D+1 dimensions. Our analysis…

The Schrodinger equation with a two-dimensional delta-function potential is a simple example of an asymptotically free theory that undergoes dimensional transmutation. Renormalization requires the introduction of a mass scale, which can be…
If supersymmetric particles are discovered, an important problem will be to determine how supersymmetry has been broken. At collider energies, supersymmetry breaking can be parameterised by soft supersymmetry breaking parameters. Several…
We consider the optimization problem associated with fitting two-layer ReLU networks with respect to the squared loss, where labels are assumed to be generated by a target network. Focusing first on standard Gaussian inputs, we show that…
The randomly pinned planar flux line array is supposed to show a phase transition to a vortex glass phase at low temperatures. This transition has been examined by using a mapping onto a 2D XY-model with random an\-iso\-tropy but without…

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) have rich dynamics in heavy states. We describe the constraints due to spontaneously broken boost and dilatation symmetries in such states. The spontaneously broken boost symmetries require the existence of…
We present a unified, SI-consistent framework to constrain minimal SME coefficients $a_\mu$ and $b_\mu$ using magnetically confined two-dimensional electron systems under a uniform magnetic field. Working in the nonrelativistic…
Ensembles of quantum chaotic systems are expected to exhibit energy eigenvalues with random-matrix-like level repulsion between pairs of energies separated by less than the inverse Thouless time. Recent research has shown that exact and…
We study $3d$ $O(N)$ symmetric scalar field theories using Polchinski's renormalisation group. In the infinite $N$ limit the model is solved exactly including at strong coupling. At short distances the theory is described by a line of…
In a compact space with non-trivial cycles, for sufficiently small values of the compact dimensions, charge conjugation (C), spatial reflection (P) and time reversal (T) are spontaneously broken in QCD. The order parameter for the symmetry…
We extend the well-known theoretical treatment of the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in two-component systems, combining linear coupling and self-attractive nonlinearity, to a system in which the linear coupling competes with repulsive…
We study the structure of the flat space wavefunctional in scalar field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetries. These symmetries imply soft theorems that are satisfied by wavefunction coefficients in the limit where one of the…
We present a clear and mathematically simple procedure explaining spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum mechanical systems. The procedure is applicable to a wide range of models and can be easily used to explain the existence of a…
We consider the role of supersymmetry breaking soft terms that are present in generalized Narain compactifications of heterotic string theory, in which local supersymmetry is spontaneously broken, with gravitino masses being inversely…
