The large-$N$ nonlinear $O(N)$, $CP^{N-1}$ $\sigma$ models are studied on $R^2 \times S^1$. The $N$-components scalar fields of the models are supposed to acquire a phase $e^{i2\pi\delta}$ $(0\leq \delta <1)$, along the circulation of the…
We calculate renormalization group flow equations for the linear sigma-model in large N_c approximation. The flow equations decouple and can be solved analytically. The solution is equal to a self consistent solution of the NJL model in the…
Accelerated gradient descent iterations are widely used in optimization. It is known that, in the continuous-time limit, these iterations converge to a second-order differential equation which we refer to as the accelerated gradient flow.…
A supersymmetric gradient flow for four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) is proposed. The flow equation is given in both the superfield and component fields of the Wess-Zumino gauge. The superfield flow equation is defined for each…
In this note we study the singular vanishing-viscosity limit of a gradient flow set in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space and driven by a smooth, but possibly non convex, time-dependent energy functional. We resort to ideas and techniques…
Using finite size scaling techniques and a renormalization scheme based on the Gradient Flow, we determine non-perturbatively the $\beta$-function of the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory for a range of renormalized couplings $\bar g^2\sim 1-12$.…
In this work, we show that a family of non-linear mean-field equations on discrete spaces can be viewed as a gradient flow of a natural free energy functional with respect to a certain metric structure we make explicit. We also prove that…

This article studies large $N$ limits of a coupled system of $N$ interacting $\Phi^4$ equations posed over $\mathbb{T}^{d}$ for $d=2$, known as the $O(N)$ linear sigma model. Uniform in $N$ bounds on the dynamics are established, allowing…
We study the stochastic quantization of two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model in the large $N$ limit. Our main tool is the {\it effective} Langevin equation with which we investigate nonperturbative phenomena and derive the results which…
We study the long time behavior of the Wasserstein gradient flow for an energy functional consisting of two components: particles are attracted to a fixed profile $\omega$ by means of an interaction kernel $\psi_a(z)=|z|^{q_a}$,and they…
This talk is based on a recent paper$^{1}$ of ours. In an attempt to understand three-dimensional conformal field theories, we study in detail one such example --the large $N$ limit of the $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model at its non-trivial…
We calculate the one loop beta functions for nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions containing general two and four derivative terms. In the O(N) model there are four such terms and nontrivial fixed points exist for all N \geq 4. In the…
The thermodynamics of the O(N) nonlinear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions is studied. We calculate the finite temperature effective potential in leading order in the 1/N expansion and show that at this order the effective potential can be made…
We propose a supersymmetric gradient flow equation in the four-dimensional Wess-Zumino model. The flow is constructed in two ways. One is based on the off-shell component fields and the other is based on the superfield formalism, in which…
We use the non-perturbative renormalization group to clarify some features of perturbation theory in thermal field theory. For the specific case of the scalar field theory with O(N) symmetry, we solve the flow equations within the local…
