In two lectures, we overview the renormalon and renormalon-related techniques and their phenomenological applications. We begin with a single renormalon chain which is a well defined and systematic way to specify the character of…
In a standard quantum field theory the norm $\langle \Omega\vert \Omega\rangle$ of the vacuum state is taken to be finite. In this paper we provide a procedure, based on constructing an equivalent wave mechanics, for determining whether or…
The algorithm to calculate the generating function for the number of ``skeleton'' diagrams for the irreducible self-energy and vertex parts is derived for the problems with Gaussian random fields. We find an exact recurrence relation…
We present the first unquenched, continuum limit, lattice QCD results for the matrix elements of the operators describing neutral kaon oscillations in extensions of the Standard Model. Owing to the accuracy of our calculation on \Delta S=2…
Discontinuities in non linear field theories propagate through null geodesics in an effective metric that depends on its dynamics and on the background geometry. Once information of the geometry of the universe comes mostly from photons,…
An ultraviolet complete particle model is constructed for the observed particles of the standard model. The quantum field theory associates infinite derivative entire functions with propagators and vertices, which make quantum loops finite…
We study Feynman chekers - one of the most elementary models of electron motion. It is also known as one-dimensional quantum walk or an Ising model at imaginary temperature. We add the simpliest nontrivial electromagnetic field to the model…
We emphasize the usefulness of the Lie brackets in the context of classical and quantum mechanics. By way of examples we show that many dynamical systems, especially the ones with (gauge) constraints, can equally be treated in their time…
The Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for gravity is non-renormalizable at loop level. However, it can be treated in the effective field theory framework which means that gravity as an effective theory can be renormalized when a proper expansion…
A new kind of cut diagram is introduced to sum Feynman diagrams with nonabelian vertices. Unlike the Cutkosky diagrams which compute the discontinuity of single Feynman diagrams, the nonabelian cut diagrams represent a resummation of both…
Optomechanical systems can exhibit self-sustained limit cycles where the quantum state of the mechanical resonator possesses nonclassical characteristics such as a strongly negative Wigner density, as was shown recently in a numerical study…
Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…
We derive the conditions for matching high-energy renormalizable Quantum Field Theories onto low-energy nonrenormalizable ones by means of the FDR approach described in Fortsch.Phys. 63 (2015) 132-141. Our procedure works order-by-order in…
One of the main open problems of mathematical physics is to consistently quantize Yang-Mills gauge theory. If such a consistent quantization were to exist, it is reasonable to expect a ``Wightman reconstruction theorem,'' by which a Hilbert…
We consider the cosmological model of a self-interacting $\phi^4 - \phi^2$ quantum scalar field and extend our previous results, [3], on resonant tunneling and consequent particle production, to the case of finite temperature. Using the…
We study Loewner chains in $\mathcal{H}_0(\mathbb{D})$ without assuming univalence of each element. We prove a decomposition: every chain admits a factorization $f_t=F\circ g_t$, where $F$ is analytic on $\mathbb{D}(0,r)$ with $r=\lim_{t…
These introductory notes are about functional renormalization group equations and some of their applications. It is emphasised that the applicability of this method extends well beyond critical systems, it actually provides us a general…
Perturbatively renormalizable higher-derivative gravity in four space-time dimensions with arbitrary signs of couplings has been considered. Systematic analysis of the action with arbitrary signs of couplings in lorentzian flat space-time…
The model-independent formalism is constructed to describe decays of mixed particles without using the Weisskopf-Wigner approximation. Limitations due to various symmetries are traced for neutral $K-$mesons. As an application we show that…
Renormalization-group theory stands, since over 40 years, as one of the pillars of modern physics. As such, there should be no remaining doubt regarding its validity. However, finite-size scaling, which derives from it, has long been poorly…
