The critical behaviour of a non-local scalar field theory is studied. This theory has a non-local kinetic term which involves a real power 1-2\alpha of the Laplacian. The interaction term is the usual local \phi^{4} interaction. The lowest…
Using a new scaling limit as well as a new cut-off procedure, we show that $\phi^4$ theory on noncommutative ${\bf R}^4$ can be obtained from the corresponding theory on fuzzy ${\bf S}^2 \times {\bf S}^2$. The star-product on this…
We analyze the one-loop effective gauge-field action in $Z_2$-orbifold compactifications of type-I theory. We show how, for non-abelian group factors, the threshold effects are ultraviolet finite though given entirely by a six-dimensional…
We present analytical results for the $N_f^4$ and $N_f^3$ terms of the five-loop Beta function, for a general gauge group. While the former term agrees with results available from large-$N_f$ studies, the latter is new and extends the value…
In theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking, the loop expansion of the effective potential is awkward. In such theories, the exact effective potential $V(\phi_c,T)$ is real and convex (as a function of the classical field $\phi_c$), but…
We consider continuum-formulation QCD in four dimensions with twelve massless fundamental quark flavors. Splitting the SU(\(N\)) gauge field into background and fluctuation parts, we use well-developed techniques to calculate the one-loop…
We continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1404.1094, of the $O(N)$ symmetric theory of $N+1$ massless scalar fields in $6-\epsilon$ dimensions. This theory has cubic interaction terms $\frac{1}{2}g_1 \sigma (\phi^i)^2 + \frac{1}{6}g_2…
The effective potential of $\lambda\phi^4_{1+3}$ model with both sign of parameter $m^2$ is evaluated at T=0 by means of a simple but effective method for regularization and renormalization. Then at $T\ne 0$, the effective potential is…
The overview is given of the results obtained recently in the course of renormalization-group (RG) study of two-dimensional (2D) models. RG functions of the two-dimensional n-vector \lambda \phi^4 Euclidean field theory are written down up…
We use Asymptotic Pade Approximants (APAP's) to predict the four- and five-loop \beta-functions in QCD and N=1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD), as well as the quark mass anomalous dimensions in Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories. We show how…
In this work we evaluate analytically the ultraviolet divergences of Lorentz-violating massive O($N$) $\lambda\phi^{4}$ scalar field theories, which are exact in the Lorentz-violating mechanism, firstly explicitly at next-to-leading order…
We carry a Monte Carlo study of the coupled two-scalar $\lambda\phi^2_1 \phi^2_2$ model in three dimensions. We find no trace of Inverse Symmetry Breaking in the region of negative $\lambda$'s for which the one-loop effective potential…
Subdivergences constitute a major obstacle to the evaluation of Feynman integrals and an expression in terms of finite quantities can be a considerable advantage for both analytic and numeric calculations. We report on our implementation of…
It has been demonstrated that the effective potential V(\phi) in a massless O(N) \lambda \phi^4_4 model is determined completely by the renormalization group functions provided the renormalization condition \frac{d^4V}{d…
The generally accepted ``triviality'' of $\lambda\Phi^4$ theories does not forbid Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking but implies a trivially free shifted field which becomes effectively governed by a quadratic hamiltonian. As a consequence, one…
Massless $\phi^{4}$-theory is investigated in zero and four space-time dimensions. Path-integral linearisation of the $\phi ^{4}$-interaction defines an effective theory, which is investigated in a loop-expansion around the mean field. In…
We calculate the one loop beta functions for nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions containing general two and four derivative terms. In the O(N) model there are four such terms and nontrivial fixed points exist for all N \geq 4. In the…
We give a short account of recent advances in our understanding of the $\pi$-dependent terms in massless (Euclidean) 2-point functions as well as in generic anomalous dimensions (ADs) and $\beta$-functions. We extend the considerations of…
This is a summary of the analysis of the one-loop effective action in Z_2-orbifold compactifications of type-I theory presented in references [1,2]. We show how, for non-abelian group factors, the threshold effects are ultraviolet finite…
We discuss Pad\'e-improvement of known four-loop order results based upon an asymptotic three-parameter error formula for Pad\'e-approximants. We derive an explicit formula estimating the next-order coefficient $R_4$ from the previous…
