We present an extension of the large $N_f$ formalism that allows to study cases with multiple fermion representations. The pole structure in the beta function is traced back to the intrinsic non-abelian nature of the gauge group,…
We calculate the two-loop $\beta$-functions for soft supersymmetry-breaking interactions in a general supersymmetric gauge theory, emphasising the role of the evanescent couplings and masses that are generic to a non-supersymmetric theory.…
The integrals defining the two-loop beta-function for the general renormalizable N=1 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives, are investigated. It is shown that they are given by integrals of double…
We investigate -- as an alternative to usual Monte Carlo Renormalization Group methods -- the feasibility of extracting QCD beta-functions directly from a lattice analysis of correlations between the action and Wilson loops. We test this…

We give some evidences of the AGT-W relation between SU(3) quiver gauge theories and A_2 Toda theory. In particular, we derive the explicit form of 5-point correlation functions in the lower orders and confirm the agreement with Nekrasov's…
The semi-analytical $O(\alpha_s^4)$ expression for the renormalization group $\beta$-function in the ${\rm{V}}$-scheme is obtained in the case of the $SU(N_c)$ gauge group. In the process of calculations we use the existing information…
A general criterion is given for the vanishing of the beta-functions in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories.
We explicitly compute the one-loop exact beta function for a nonlocal extension of the standard gauge theory, in particular Yang-Mills and QED. The theory, made of a weakly nonlocal kinetic term and a local potential of the gauge field, is…
This work presents the calculation of the relation between the bare coupling constant g_0 and the MSbar-renormalized coupling g_MS, g_0 = Z_g(g_0,a\mu) g_MS, to 2 loops in perturbation theory, with fermions in an arbitrary representation of…
Following the idea of Refs.[1,2], the double-copy-like decomposition of exchanged internal states in the world-line limit of one-loop string amplitudes is systematically formulated and generalized to both bosonic and heterotic string…
QED based on $\theta$-unexpanded noncomutative space-time in contrast with the noncommutative QED based on $\theta$-expanded U(1) gauge theory via the Seiberg-Witten map, is one-loop renormalizable. Meanwhile it suffers from asymptotic…
The two-loop effective action for the SU(3) gauge model in a constant background field ${\bar A}_0(x,t)=B_0^3T_3+B_0^8T_8$ is recalculated for a gauge with an arbitrary $\xi$-parameter. The gauge-invariant thermodynamical potential is found…
We study the ultraviolet (UV) behavior of an O($N$) $|\vec \phi |^6$ theory in $d=3$ spacetime dimensions, focusing on the question of the range in $N$ over which the perturbative beta function exhibits robust evidence of a UV zero in the…
We present the results of analytical calculations of the 3-loop contributions to the asymptotic photon vacuum polarization function, in the on shell scheme, and of the 4-loop contributions to the on shell QED beta-function. These are used…
Multi-loop calculations of the effective action for the matrix model are important for carrying out tests of the conjectured relationship of the matrix model to the low energy description of M-theory. In particular, comparison with…
