We study a class of SYK models with $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry, described by $N$ fermions in chiral Fermi multiplets, as well as $\alpha N$ first-order bosons in chiral multiplets. The interactions are characterized by two integers…
We apply large $N$ diagrammatic techniques for theories with double-trace interactions to the leading corrections to $C_J$, the coefficient of a conserved current two-point function, and $C_T$, the coefficient of the stress-energy tensor…
We propose a random matrix model as a representation for $D=1$ open strings. We show that the model is equivalent to $N$ fermions with spin in a central potential that also includes a long-range ferromagnetic interaction between the…
We compute the multiplicity of the irreducible representations in the decomposition of the tensor product of an arbitrary number $n$ of fundamental representations of $SU(N)$, and we identify a duality in the representation content of this…
It was recently shown that $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Wess-Zumino models can be studied in the $\epsilon$-expansion by analytically continuing the number of fermionic degrees of freedom to be half-integer. In this work we study the…
We consider a system of $ N $ interacting fermions in $ \mathbb{R}^3 $ confined by an external potential and in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. The intensity of the interaction has the mean-field scaling $ 1/N $. With a…
We explore in detail the properties of two melonic quantum mechanical theories which can be formulated either as fermionic matrix quantum mechanics in the new large $D$ limit, or as disordered models. Both models have a mass parameter $m$…
A class of matrix models which arises as partition function in U(N) Chern-Simons matter theories on three sphere is investigated. Employing the standard technique of the 1/N expansion we solve the system beyond the planar limit. In…
We study the large $N$ limit of $O(N)$ scalar field theory with classically marginal $\phi^6$ interaction in three dimensions in the presence of a planar boundary. This theory has an approximate conformal invariance at large $N$. We find…
We point out that the minimal seesaw model can provide a natural framework to accommodate tiny neutrino masses, while its experimental testability and notable predictiveness are still maintained. This possibility is based on the observation…
It has been proposed some time ago that the large $N-$limit can be understood as a ``classical limit'', where commutators in some sense approach the corresponding Poisson brackets. We discuss this in the light of some recent numerical…
We prove that multilinear (tensor) analogues of many efficiently computable problems in numerical linear algebra are NP-hard. Our list here includes: determining the feasibility of a system of bilinear equations, deciding whether a 3-tensor…
The first part of these lectures provides a brief introduction to the concepts and techniques of effective field theory. The second part reviews precision electroweak constraints using effective theory methods. Several simple extensions of…
We consider Quantum Electrodynamics in $2{+}1$ dimensions with $N_f$ fermionic or bosonic flavors, allowing for interactions that respect the global symmetry $U(N_f/2)^2$. There are four bosonic and four fermionic fixed points, which we…
We show that in $\text{O}(D)$ invariant matrix theories containing a large number $D$ of complex or Hermitian matrices, one can define a $D\rightarrow\infty$ limit for which the sum over planar diagrams truncates to a tractable, yet…
In a recent series of papers, a duality between orthogonal and symplectic random tensor models has been proven, first for quartic models and then for models with interactions of arbitrary order. However, the tensor models considered so far…
We argue that theories with fundamental fermions which undergo chiral symmetry breaking have several universal features which are qualitatively different than those of theories with fundamental scalars. Several bounds on the critical…
We construct PT-symmetric quantum mechanical models with an O(N)-symmetric interaction term of the form $-g(\vec{x}^{2})^{2}/N$. Using functional integral methods, we find the equivalent Hermitian model, which has several unusual features.…
A non-minimal approximation for effective masses of light and heavy neutrinos in the framework of a type-I seesaw mechanism with three generations of sterile Majorana neutrinos which recover the symmetry between quarks and leptons is…
This paper provides a unified framework for analyzing tensor estimation problems that allow for nonlinear observations, heteroskedastic noise, and covariate information. We study a general class of high-dimensional models where each…
