The topological theory of phase transitions was proposed on the basis of different arguments, the most important of which are: a direct evidence of the relation between topology and phase transitions for some exactly solvable models; an…
The properties of dynamical Dark Energy (DE) and, in particular, the possibility that it can form or contribute to stable inhomogeneities, have been widely debated in recent literature, also in association to a possible coupling between DE…
The lambda phi4 scalar field model can be applied to interpret pion-pion scattering and properties of hadrons. In this work, the mathematical basis, phase transitions and singularities of a (3+1)-dimensional (i.e., (3+1)D) phi4 scalar field…
We discuss the phase transition in 3+1 dimensional lambda Phi^4 theory from a very physical perspective. The particles of the symmetric phase (`phions') interact via a hard-core repulsion and an induced, long-range -1/r^3 attraction. If the…
We review and elaborate on some aspects of the classically scale-invariant renormalizable 4-derivative scalar theory $L= \phi\, \partial^4 \phi + g (\partial \phi)^4$. Similar models appear, e.g., in the context of conformal supergravity or…
We prove that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative \phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains…
We consider a scalar quantum field $\phi$ with arbitrary polynomial self-interaction in perturbation theory. If the field variable $\phi$ is repaced by a local diffeomorphism $\phi(x) = \rho(x) + a_1 \rho^2(x) +\ldots$, this field $\rho$…
A non-perturbative renormalisation prescription for the energy-momentum tensor, based on space-time symmetries along the Wilson flow, has been proposed recently in the context of 4-dimensional gauge theories. We extend this construction to…
In this article we extend the test of Hamiltonian Renormalisation proposed in this series of articles to the D-dimensional case using a massive free scalar field. The concepts we introduce are explicitly computed for the D=2 case but…
The scalar field theory and the scalar electrodynamics quantized in the flat gap are considered. The dynamical effects arising due to the boundary presence with two types of boundary conditions (BC) satisfied by scalar fields are studied.…
We put forward a novel method of constructing unfolded formulations of field theories, which is based on initial fixation of the form of an unfolded field and subsequent looking for the corresponding unfolded equation as an identity that…
A detailed qualitative analysis and numerical modeling of the evolution of cosmological models based on nonlinear classical and phantom scalar fields with self-action are performed. Complete phase portraits of the corresponding dynamical…
We discuss the stability properties of an autonomous system in loop quantum cosmology. The system is described by a self-interacting scalar field $\phi$ with positive potential $V$, coupled with a barotropic fluid in the Universe. With…
Off-shellness and inhomogeneities are in the non-equilibrium dynamics of the lambda phi^4 model are studied using the closed timepath formalism reformulated as kinetic field theory. We take into account initial correlations up to the…
We discuss the marginal $\sqrt{T\overline{T}}$ deformation of massless scalar field theories in two dimensions from a dynamical perspective. The operator flow equations for such deformations induce a particular Legendre Transformation…
There often appear coherently oscillating scalar fields in particle physics motivated cosmological scenarios, which may have rich phenomenological consequences. Scalar fields should somehow interact with background thermal bath in order to…
We present the theoretical underpinnings of scale without conformal invariance in quantum field theory. In light of our results the gradient-flow interpretation of renormalization-group (RG) flow is challenged, due to deep connections…
Understanding quantum dissipation is important from both theoretical perspective and applications. Here, we show how to describe dissipation in a scalar field theory. We treat dissipation non-perturbatively, represent it by a bilinear term…
An experimentally inspired model is constructed and rigorously solved from the Hamiltonian level where a dc circular spontaneous flow exists in absence of a magnetic field, irrespective of presence of dissipation causing otherwise proper…
A renormalization group study of a scalar theory coupled to gravity through a general functional dependence on the Ricci scalar in the action is discussed. A set of non-perturbative flow equations governing the evolution of the new…
