In this note, we clarify the stability of the large-N functional RG fixed points of the order/disorder transition in the random-field (RF) and random-anisotropy (RA) O(N) models. We carefully distinguish between infinite N, and large but…
The properties of discrete two-dimensional spin glasses depend strongly on the way the zero-temperature limit is taken. We discuss this phenomenon in the context of the Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization group. We see, in particular, how these…
The fixed point structure of the 2D 3-state random-bond Potts model with a bimodal ($\pm$J) distribution of couplings is for the first time fully determined using numerical renormalization group techniques. Apart from the pure and T=0…
Relationship for dynamical properties in the vicinity of fixed points between two-dimensional continuous and its positivity-preserving discretized dynamical systems is studied. Based on linear stability analysis, we reveal the conditions…
I study the renormalization of D-dimensional level-k Wess-Zumino-Witten theory with Stiefel-manifold target space $\mathrm{St}_{N,N-D-1} \cong \mathrm{SO}(N)/\mathrm{SO}(D+1)$, with a particular focus on $D = 3$. I investigate in particular…
In physics we attempt to infer the rules governing a system given only the results of imprecise measurements. This is an ill-posed problem because certain features of the system's state cannot be resolved by the measurements. However, by…
A field-theory approach is used to investigate the ''spin-glass effects'' on the critical behaviour of systems with weak temperature-like quenched disorder. The renormalization group (RG) analysis of the effective Hamiltonian of a model…
We revisit the thermodynamic behavior of the random-anisotropy O($N$) model by investigating its large-$N$ limit. We focus on the system at zero temperature where the mean-field-like artifacts of the large-$N$ limit are less severe. We…
We start a systematic analysis of supersymmetric field theories in six dimensions. We find necessary conditions for the existence of non-trivial interacting fixed points. String theory provides us with examples of such theories. We…
Understanding the influence of quenched random potential is crucial for comprehending the exotic electronic transport of non-Fermi liquid metals near metallic quantum critical points. In this study, we identify a stable fixed point…
Analytic phenomenological scaling is carried out for the random field Ising model in general dimensions using a bar geometry. Domain wall configurations and their decorated profiles and associated wandering and other exponents…
We investigate dimensional reduction, the property that the critical behavior of a system in the presence of quenched disorder in dimension d is the same as that of its pure counterpart in d-2, and its breakdown in the case of the…
We consider a UV-complete field-theoretic model in general dimensions, including $d=2+1$, that exhibits spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetry, persisting to arbitrarily large temperatures. Our model consists of two copies of the…
In the Abelian-Higgs model, or Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity, the existence of an infrared stable charged fixed point ensures that there is a parameter range where the superconducting phase transition is second order, as…
We propose new methods to extend the renormalization group transformation to complex coupling spaces. We argue that the Fisher's zeros are located at the boundary of the complex basin of attraction of infra-red fixed points. We support this…
Statistical mechanical models with local interactions in $d>1$ dimension can be regarded as $d=1$ dimensional models with regular long range interactions. In this paper we study the critical properties of Ising models having $V$ sites, each…
The quantum tricriticality of d-dimensional transverse Ising-like systems is studied by means of a perturbative renormalization group approach focusing on static susceptibility. This allows us to obtain the phase diagram for 3<d<4, with a…
When studying the collective motion of biological groups a useful theoretical framework is that of ferromagnetic systems, in which the alignment interactions are a surrogate of the effective imitation among the individuals. In this context,…
We summarize the usual implementations of the large $N$ limit of $O(N)$ models and show in detail why and how they can miss some physically important fixed points when they become singular in the limit $N\to\infty$. Using Wilson's…
We study the purely relaxational dynamics (model A) at criticality in three-dimensional disordered Ising systems whose static critical behaviour belongs to the randomly diluted Ising universality class. We consider the site-diluted and…
