Non-commutative Euclidean scalar field theory is shown to have an eigenvalue sector which is dominated by a well-defined eigenvalue density, and can be described by a matrix model. This is established using regularizations of R^{2n}_\theta…
We construct non-semisimple $2+1$-TQFTs yielding mapping class group representations in Lyubashenko's spaces. In order to do this, we first generalize Beliakova, Blanchet and Geer's logarithmic Hennings invariants based on quantum…
Hierarchical renormalization group (RG) transformations are related to nonassociative algebras. These algebras serve as a new basic tool for a rigorous treatment of global RG flows and the search of nontrivial infrared fixed points.…
We construct two-dimensional non-commutative topological quantum field theories (TQFTs), one for each Hecke algebra corresponding to a finite Coxeter system. These TQFTs associate an invariant to each ciliated surface, which is a Laurent…
Based on our recent findings regarding (non-)renormalizability of non-commutative U*(1) gauge theories [arxiv:0908.0467, arxiv:0908.1743] we present the construction of a new type of model. By introducing a soft breaking term in such a way…
In the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, continuous spacetime geometry is expected to emerge via phase transition. However, understanding the phase diagram and finding fixed points under the renormalization group flow remains…
This paper focuses on extending our previous discussion of an Abelian U(1) gauge theory involving infinite derivatives to a non-Abelian SU(N) case. The renormalization group equation (RGEs) of the SU(N) gauge coupling is calculated and…
Using the numerical modular bootstrap, we constrain the space of 1+1d CFTs with a finite non-invertible global symmetry described by a fusion category $\mathcal{C}$. We derive universal and rigorous upper bounds on the lightest…
We discuss the strong-coupling expansion in Euclidean field theory. In a formal representation for the Schwinger functional, we treat the off-diagonal terms of the Gaussian factor as a perturbation about the remaining terms of the…
We study the invariant unstable manifold of the trivial renormalization group fixed point tangent to the $\phi^{4}$-vertex in three dimensions. We parametrize it by a running $\phi^{4}$-coupling with linear step $\beta$-function. It is…
Compact nonlocal Abelian gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions, also known as loop model, is a massless theory with a critical line that is explicitly covariant under duality transformations. It corresponds to the large N_F limit of self-dual…
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent…
We study a quartic matrix model with partition function $Z=\int d\ M\exp{\rm Tr}\ (-\Delta M^2-\frac{\lambda}{4}M^4)$. The integral is over the space of Hermitian $(\Lambda+1)\times(\Lambda+1)$ matrices, the matrix $\Delta$, which is not a…
In this paper we construct the noncommutative Grosse-Wulkenhaar model on 2-dimensional Moyal plane with the method of loop vertex expansion. We treat renormalization with this new tool, adapt Nelson's argument and prove Borel summability of…
The renormalization-group functions of the two-dimensional n-vector \lambda \phi^4 model are calculated in the five-loop approximation. Perturbative series for the \beta-function and critical exponents are resummed by the Pade-Borel-Leroy…
A scalar field theory with 4-derivative kinetic terms and 4-derivative cubic and quartic couplings is presented as a proxy for quantum quadratic gravity (QQG). The scalar theory is renormalizable and asymptotically free and the remaining…
Lattice gauge theories of permutation groups with a simple topological action (henceforth permutation-TFTs) have recently found several applications in the combinatorics of quantum field theories (QFTs). They have been used to solve…
We demonstrate that pure N=4 supergravity is ultraviolet divergent at four loops. The form of the divergence suggests that it is due to the rigid U(1) duality-symmetry anomaly of the theory. This is the first known example of an ultraviolet…
Starting from a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is equipped with an invariant nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, we show that 4-dimensional BF theory with cosmological term gives rise to a TQFT satisfying a generalization of Atiyah's…
We generalize, to any space-time dimension, the unitarity bounds of highest weight UIR's of the conformal groups with Lie algebras $so(2,d)$. We classify gauge theories invariant under $so(2,d)$, both integral and half-integral spins. A…
