We determine the 2-loop effective gauge coupling of QCD at high temperatures, defined as a matching coefficient appearing in the dimensionally reduced effective field theory. The result allows to improve on one of the classic…
We investigate a large class of perturbative QCD (pQCD) renormalization schemes whose beta functions $\beta(a)$ are meromorphic functions of the running coupling and give finite positive value of the coupling $a(Q^2)$ in the infrared regime…
The ambiguities inherent in renormalization are considered when using mass-independent renormalization in massless theories that involve two coupling coupling constants. We review how there is no renormalization scheme in which the…
Additional Abelian gauge interactions are generic to string compactifications. In heterotic string models, gauge coupling unification of such forces and other gauge interactions is natural due to their common origin. In this letter we study…
We compute the beta functions for the three gauge couplings of the Standard Model in the minimal subtraction scheme to three loops. We take into account contributions from all sectors of the Standard Model. The calculation is performed…
It is shown that $\alpha_s(E)$, the strong coupling constant, can be determined in the non-perturbative regime from Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC). The obtained $\alpha_s(E)$ is in agreement with the prescriptions dealt with in the…
The importance of the proper treatment of the wave function renormalization in the renormalization group analysis of quantum gravity is pointed out. The renormalization factor, sometimes called an inessential coupling, can be used to fix…
The effective action for the interacting massive scalar field in curved space-time is derived using the heat-kernel method. Starting from this effective action, we establish a smooth quadratic form of the low-energy decoupling for the…
The renormalized zero-momentum four-point coupling $g_r$ of $O(N)$-invariant scalar field theories in $d$ dimensions is studied by applying the $1/N$ expansion and strong coupling analysis. The $O(1/N)$ correction to the $\beta$-function…
We present the first study of the discrete $\beta$-function of the $ SU(3) $ gauge theory with 10 massless domain-wall fermions in the fundamental representation. The renormalized coupling is obtained by the finite-volume gradient flow…
We describe a qualitatively new regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics, the super strong coupling regime. This regime is characterized by atom-field coupling strengths of the order of the free spectral range of the cavity, resulting in a…
This investigation explores using the beta function formalism to calculate analytic solutions for the observable parameters in rolling scalar field cosmologies. The beta function in this case is the derivative of the scalar $\phi$ with…
We investigate the possibility that unification occurs at strong coupling. We show that, despite the fact the couplings pass through a strong coupling regime, accurate predictions for their low energy values are possible because the…
The new method of nonperturbative calculation of the beta function in the lattice gauge theory is proposed. The method is based on the finite size scaling hypothesis.
