We study renormalization group multicritical fixed points in the $\epsilon$-expansion of scalar field theories characterized by the symmetry of the (hyper)cubic point group $H_N$. After reviewing the algebra of $H_N$-invariant polynomials…

Certain models with rank-$3$ tensor degrees of freedom have been shown by Gurau and collaborators to possess a novel large $N$ limit, where $g^2 N^3$ is held fixed. In this limit the perturbative expansion in the quartic coupling constant,…

The critical thermodynamics of the two-dimensional N-vector cubic and MN models is studied within the field-theoretical renormalization-group (RG) approach. The beta functions and critical exponents are calculated in the five-loop…

We systematically derive the consistency relations associated to the non-linearly realized symmetries of theories with spontaneously broken conformal symmetry but with a linearly-realized de Sitter subalgebra. These identities relate…

For some theories where the degrees of freedom are tensors of rank $3$ or higher, there exist solvable large $N$ limits dominated by the melonic diagrams. Simple examples are provided by models containing one rank-$3$ tensor in the…

We find that the multicritical fixed point structure of the O($N$) models is much more complicated than widely believed. In particular, we find new nonperturbative fixed points in three dimensions ($d=3$) as well as at $N=\infty$. These…

We study the O(4) Wilson-Fisher fixed point in 2+1 dimensions in fixed large-charge sectors identified by products of two spin-j representations $(j_L, j_R)$. Using effective field theory we derive a formula for the conformal dimensions…

The time evolution of O(N) symmetric lambda Phi^4 scalar field theory is studied in the large N limit. In this limit the <Phi> mean field and two-point correlation function <Phi Phi> evolve together as a self-consistent closed Hamiltonian…

We present a study of phi-four theory on noncommutative spaces using a combination of the Wilson renormalization group recursion formula and the solution to the zero dimensional vector/matrix models at large $N$. Three fixed points are…

Different perturbation theory treatments of the Ginzburg-Landau phase transition model are discussed. This includes a criticism of the perturbative renormalization group (RG) approach and a proposal of a novel method providing critical…

Inspired by a possible relation between large $N$ gauge theory and string theory, we search for nontrivial fixed points in large $N$ gauge theory in more than four dimensions. We study large $N$ gauge theory through Monte Carlo simulation…

We revisit an emergent gravity scenario in $(4+1)$ dimensions underlying a propagating geometric torsion ${\cal H}_3$ with a renewed interest. We show that a pair-symmetric $4$th order curvature tensor is sourced by a two-form Neveu-Schwarz…

For a long time, the predictive limits of perturbative quantum field theory have been limited by our inability to carry out loop calculations to arbitrarily high order, which become increasingly complex as the order of perturbation theory…

The establishment of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (WFP) for $O(n)$ spin models in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions stands as a cornerstone of the renormalization group (RG) theory for critical phenomena. However, when long-range (LR)…

We study multiscalar theories with $\text{O}(N) \times \text{O}(2)$ symmetry. These models have a stable fixed point in $d$ dimensions if $N$ is greater than some critical value $N_c(d)$. Previous estimates of this critical value from…

We adopt a combination of analytical and numerical methods to study the renormalization group flow of the most general field theory with quartic interaction in $d=4-\epsilon$ with $N=3$ and $N=4$ scalars. For $N=3$, we find that it admits…

We show that type 0B theory has a classical AdS_5 x S^5 solution and argue that it is stable at the string-theory level for small enough radius. The dual 4-d conformal field theory is the infrared limit of the theory on N electric D3-branes…

We employ the axiomatic framework of Rychkov and Tan to investigate the critical O$(N)$ vector model with a line defect in $(4-\epsilon)$ dimensions. We assume the fixed point is described by defect conformal field theory and show that the…
