In this paper, we give one possible definition for functions of several variables applied to endomorphisms of finite dimensional C-vector spaces. This definition is consistent with the usual notion of a function of a square matrix. Some…
Using the background field method, we study in a general covariant gauge the renormalization of the 6-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This requires background gauge invariant counterterms, some of which do not vanish on shell. Such…
In the paper, the authors establish an inequality involving exponential functions and sums, introduce a ratio of many gamma functions, discuss properties, including monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, (logarithmically) complete…
In this note we demonstrate that, as we conjectured earlier in [1], the a-charge in the conformal anomaly in dimension $d=2n$ manifests in a $n$-point correlation function of energy momentum tensor of a CFT considered in flat spacetime with…
We extend the notion of amoeba to holomorphic almost periodic functions in tube domains. In this setting, the order of a function in a connected component of the complement to its amoeba is just the mean motion of this function. We also…
We propose a theory in electromagnetic dynamics, in which time and space are equivalent with each other and have totally twelve dimensions. Then, we solve that with realistic assumptions and find a steady state as a solution. The solution…
We present the beta functions of gauge and Yukawa couplings in general four-dimensional quantum field theory, at four and three loops, respectively. The essence of our approach is fixing unknown coefficients in the most general ansatz for…
We investigate possible renormalization-group fixed points at nonzero coupling in $\phi^3$ theories in six spacetime dimensions, using beta functions calculated to the four-loop level. We analyze three theories of this type, with (a) a…
The double sigma model with the strong constraints is equivalent to a classical theory of the normal sigma model with one on-shell self-duality relation. The one-form gauge field comes from the boundary term. It is the same as the normal…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is traditionally attributed to the effect of the electromagnetic 4-potential $A$, even in regions where both the electric field $\mathbf{E}$ and the magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ are zero. The AB effect reveals that…
Three-loop $\beta$-functions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model regularized by higher covariant derivatives are obtained for an arbitrary supersymmetric subtraction scheme. For this purpose we first calculate two-loop anomalous…
This paper is an introduction to the theory of multivector functions of a real variable. The notions of limit, continuity and derivative for these objects are given. The theory of multivector functions of a real variable, even being similar…
We study the beta functions for the dimensionless couplings in quadratic curvature gravity, and find that there is a simple argument to restrict the possible form of the beta functions as derived from the counterterms at an arbitrary loop.…
In this paper, we introduce a new two-parameter deformation of the Gamma function that generalizes some existing Gamma-type functions in the literature. We study properties of this function that depend on the parameters. We also prove some…
The beta distribution is a two-parameter family of probability distributions whose distribution function is the (regularised) incomplete beta function. In this paper, the inverse incomplete beta function is studied analytically as…
Under certain general conditions, an explicit formula to compute the greatest delta-epsilon function of a continuous function is given. From this formula, a new way to analyze the uniform continuity of a continuous function is given.…
We show that for four dimensional gauge theories in the conformal window, the Euler anomaly, known as the $a$-function, can be computed from a $2$-point function of the trace of the energy momentum tensor making it more amenable to lattice…
Various results for higher-order perturbative calculations in the gradient-flow formalism are reviewed, including the gradient-flow beta function and the small-flow-time expansion of the hadronic vacuum polarization and the energy-momentum…
We study renormalizable nonlinear sigma-models in two dimensions with N=2 supersymmetry described in superspace in terms of chiral and complex linear superfields. The geometrical structure of the underlying manifold is investigated and the…
