A number of 2d and 3d four-fermion models which are renormalizable ---in the $1/N$ expansion--- in a maximally symmetric constant curvature space, are investigated. To this purpose, a powerful method for the exact study of spinor heat…
We study the 2D vortex-free XY model in a random field, a model for randomly pinned flux lines in a plane. We construct controlled RG recursion relations which allow for replica symmetry breaking (RSB). The fixed point previously found by…
We explore whether the phase diagram of tensor models could feature a pregeometric, discrete and a geometric, continuum phase for the building blocks of space. The latter are associated to rank $d$ tensors of size $N$. We search for a…
We present a quantitative analysis of chiral symmetry breaking in two-flavour continuum QCD in the quenched limit. The theory is set-up at perturbative momenta, where asymptotic freedom leads to precise results. The evolution of QCD towards…
We study a mean-field spin model with three- and two-body interactions. The equilibrium measure for large volumes is shown to have three pure states, the phases of the model. They include the two with opposite magnetization and an…
We consider a class of multi-matrix models with an action which is O(D) invariant, where D is the number of NxN Hermitian matrices X_\mu, \mu=1,...,D. The action is a function of all the elementary symmetric functions of the matrix…
We consider the dynamical model of a binary bosonic gas trapped in a symmetric dual-core cigar-shaped potential. The setting is modeled by a system of linearly-coupled one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equations with the cubic self-repulsive…
An analysis is given of the dynamical symmetry breaking of semi-simple gauge groups. We construct a class of renormalizable gauge theories for the dynamically broken topcolor and technicolor interactions. It is shown that a four-Fermi…

We consider the hermitian matrix model with an external field entering the quadratic term $\tr(\Lambda X\Lambda X)$ and Penner--like interaction term $\alpha N(\log(1+X)-X)$. An explicit solution in the leading order in $N$ is presented.…
In analogy with equilibrium phase transitions, we address the problem of the instability to symmetry-breaking perturbations of systems undergoing a laser transition. The symmetry in question is the $U(1)$ invariance with respect to a phase…
In this work we study spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns in tensor models. We focus on the patterns which lead to effective matrix theories transforming in the adjoint of $U(N)$. We find the explicit form of the Goldstone bosons which…
The Thirring model is a four-fermion theory with a current-current interaction and $U(2N)$ chiral symmetry. It is closely related to three-dimensional QED and other models used to describe properties of graphene. In addition it serves as a…
Random tensor models can be used as combinatorial devices to generate Euclidean dynamical triangulations. A physical continuum limit of dynamical triangulations requires a suitable generalization of the double-scaling limit of random…
We introduce and analyze a quantum spin/Majorana chain with a tricritical Ising point separating a critical phase from a gapped phase with order-disorder coexistence. We show that supersymmetry is not only an emergent property of the…
In this paper we study the critical behavior of an $N$-component ${\phi}^{4}$-model in hyperbolic space, which serves as a model of uniform frustration. We find that this model exhibits a second-order phase transition with an unusual…

In this paper we identify and analyze in detail the subleading contributions in the 1/N expansion of random tensors, in the simple case of a quartically interacting model. The leading order for this 1/N expansion is made of graphs, called…
This work explores a deformation of the Kitaev toric code that induces a phase transition out of the topologically ordered phase. By placing the model on a cylinder, the bulk global 1-form symmetries separate into distinct boundary…
