We employ perturbative RG and $\epsilon$-expansion to study multi-critical single-scalar field theories with higher derivative kinetic terms of the form $\phi(-\Box)^k\phi$. We focus on those with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric critical point…

The multicritical points of the $O(N)$ invariant $N$ vector model in the large $N$ limit are reexamined. Of particular interest are the subtleties involved in the stability of the phase structure at critical dimensions. In the limit $N \to…

The Thirring model in 2+1$d$ with $N$ Dirac flavors can exhibit spontaneous U($2N)\to$U($N)\otimes$U($N$) breaking through fermion - antifermion condensation in the limit $m\to0$. With no small parameter in play the symmetry-breaking…

Correlators of local operators inserted on a straight Wilson loop in a conformal gauge theory have the structure of a one-dimensional "defect" CFT. As was shown in arXiv:1706.00756, in the case of supersymmetric Wilson-Maldacena loop in…

We analyze $(2+1)$-dimensional vector-vector type four-Fermi interaction (Thirring) model in the framework of the $1/N$ expansion. By solving the Dyson-Schwinger equation in the large-$N$ limit, we show that in the two-component formalism…

Non-Fermi liquids in $d>2$ remain poorly understood, particularly when relevant perturbations destabilize them. In one spatial dimension, chirally stabilized fixed points provide a rare class of analytically tractable non-Fermi-liquid…

We investigate a class of relativistic fermion theories in 2<d<4 space-time dimensions with continuous chiral U(Nf)xU(Nf) symmetry. This includes a number of well-studied models, e.g., of Gross-Neveu and Thirring type, in a unified…

We extend the phase diagram of SU(N) gauge-fermion theories as function of number of flavours and colours to the region in which asymptotic freedom is lost. We argue, using large $N_f$ results, for the existence of an ultraviolet…

We consider a scalar Euclidean QFT with interaction given by a bounded, measurable function $V$ such that $V^{\pm}:=\lim_{w\to \pm\infty}V(w)$ exist. We find a field renormalization such that all the $n$-point connected Schwinger functions…
