We study the noncommutative $\phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction…
We compute the bound state properties of three-dimensional scalar $\phi^4$ theory in the broken phase. To this end, we extend the recently developed technique of spectral Dyson-Schwinger equations to solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation and…
We use a recently proposed diagonalization/Monte Carlo computational scheme to study relativistic two-body and three-body bound states in 1+1 dimensional phi^6-phi^4 theory. We find that the approach is well-suited for calculating bound…
We discuss the spectrum of the three dimensional phi^4 theory in the broken symmetry phase. In this phase the effective potential between the elementary quanta of the model is attractive and bound states of two or more of them may exist. We…
The renormalization group is applied to the phi4 model in the symmetry broken phase in order to identify different scaling regimes. The new scaling laws reflect nonuniversal behavior at the phase transition. The extension of the analysis to…
We calculate the self-energy at finite temperature in scalar $\lambda\phi ^4$ theory to second order in a modified perturbation expansion. Using the renormalisation group equation to tame the logarithms in momentum, it gives an equation to…
Perturbation theory of a large class of scalar field theories in $d<4$ can be shown to be Borel resummable using arguments based on Lefschetz thimbles. As an example we study in detail the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory in two dimensions in the…
As a first application of our renormalisation group approach to non-local matrix models [hep-th/0305066], we prove (super-)renormalisability of Euclidean two-dimensional noncommutative \phi^4-theory. It is widely believed that this model is…
Using standard numerical Monte Carlo lattice methods, we study non-universal properties of the phase transition of three-dimensional phi^4 theory of a 2-component real field phi = (phi_1,phi_2) with O(2) symmetry. Specifically, we extract…
Four-fermi models in dimensionality $2<d<4$ exhibit an ultra-violet stable renormalization group fixed point at a strong value of the coupling constant where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. The resulting field theory describes…
We perform a renormalization group analysis of the non-relativistic four-boson problem by means of a simple model with pointlike three- and four-body interactions. We investigate in particular the unitarity point where the scattering length…
We make a Monte Carlo study of the coupled two-scalar $\lambda\phi^2_1\phi^2_2$ model in four dimensions at finite temperature. We find no trace of Inverse Symmetry Breaking for values of the renormalized parameters for which perturbation…
For a large class of field theories there exist portions of parameter space for which the loop expansion predicts increased symmetry breaking at high temperature. Even though this behavior would clearly have far reaching implications for…
We study an attractive $\phi^4$ interaction using Tamm-Dancoff truncation with light-front coordinates in $3+1$ dimensions. The truncated theory requires a coupling constant renormalization, we compute its $\beta$ function…
A finite-size scaling theory for the $\phi^4_4$ model is derived using renormalization group methods. Particular attention is paid to the partition function zeroes, in terms of which all thermodynamic observables can be expressed. While the…
One-dimensional systems of interacting atoms are an ideal laboratory to study the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. In the renormalization group picture there is essentially a two-parameter phase diagram to explore. We first present how…
The effective potential for the local composite operator $\phi^{2}(x)$ in $\lambda \phi^{4}$-theory is investigated at finite temperature in an approach based on path-integral linearisation of the $\phi^4 $-interaction. At zero temperature,…
We show that the spectrum of the three dimensional phi^4 theory in the broken symmetry phase contains non-perturbative states. We determine the spectrum using a new variational technique based on the introduction of operators corresponding…
