We address the properties of self-gravitating domain walls arising from the breaking of an SU(N) x Z_2- symmetric theory. In the particular case of N=5, we find that the two classes of stable non-abelian kinks possible in flat space have an…
We try to use scale-invariance and the 1/N expansion to construct a non-trivial 4d O(N) scalar field model with controlled UV behavior and naturally light scalar excitations. The principle is to fix interactions at each order in 1/N by…
In this work we propose improved holographic hard wall (HW) models by the inclusion of anomalous dimensions in the dual operators that describe glueballs inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence. The anomalous dimensions come from well known…
We simulate SU(2) gauge theory with six massless fundamental Dirac fermions. We measure the running of the coupling and the mass in the Schroedinger Functional scheme. We observe very slow running of the coupling constant. We measure the…
We consider noncommutative GUT inspired field theories formulated within the enveloping-algebra formalism for anomaly safe compact simple gauge groups. Our theories have only gauge fields and fermions, and we compute the UV divergent part…
We investigate the possibility of hidden non-Abelian Local Phase symmetries in large-U doped planar Hubbard antiferromagnets, believed to simulate the physics of two-dimensional (magnetic) superconductors. We present a spin-charge…
In this work we consider the SU(N) gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, in the limit of large N. Taking advantage of large N twisted volume reduction we do this on a single site lattice, but we should still…
The anomalous dimensions of four-quark operators $(\bar q_i q_j)_{V-A} (\bar q_k q_l)_{V-A}$ are calculated in the large $N_f$ limit. As expected, the result is a convergent series without renormalon ambiguities. Using the approximation of…
It has been shown by several authors that a certain class of composite operators with many fields and gradients endangers the stability of nontrivial fixed points in 2+eps expansions for various models. This problem is so far unresolved. We…
We note that in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories with even number of massless fermions, there is anomalous $Z_2$ symmetry if theory is regularized in a parity-invariant way. We then consider a parity invariant $U(1)_V\times U(1)_A$ model,…
We study the constraints on models with extra dimensions arising from local anomaly cancellation. We consider a five-dimensional field theory with a U(1) gauge field and a charged fermion, compactified on the orbifold S^1/(Z_2 x Z_2'). We…
Massive $U(1)$ gauge theories featuring parametrically light vectors are suspected to belong in the Swampland of consistent EFTs that cannot be embedded into a theory of quantum gravity. We study four-dimensional, chiral $U(1)$ gauge…
We set up a consistent background field formalism for studying the renormalization group (RG) flow of gravity coupled to $N_f$ Dirac fermions on maximally symmetric backgrounds. Based on Wetterich's equation we perform a detailed study of…
We study two-dimensional non-abelian BF theory in Lorenz gauge and prove that it is a topological conformal field theory. This opens the possibility to compute topological string amplitudes (Gromov-Witten invariants). We found that the…
A scalar model of glueball is considered. The model is based on two scalar fields approximation for SU(3) non-Abelian Lagrangian. The approach to approximation makes use of the assumption that 2 and 4-points Green's functions are described…
SU(3) gauge theory coupled to N_f = 2 fermions in the sextet representation is a promising candidate for a technicolor inspired Standard Model extension. In this note the progress in the past few years aimed at understanding the…
We consider the analog in one spatial dimension of the Bose-Fermi transmutation for planar systems. A quantum mechanical system of a spin 1/2 particle coupled to an abelian gauge field, which is classically invariant under gauge…
Four-fermi models in dimensionality $2<d<4$ exhibit an ultra-violet stable renormalization group fixed point at a strong value of the coupling constant where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. The resulting field theory describes…
In perturbation theory, the anomalous dimensions of twist-two operators have poles at negative or small positive integer values of spin and therefore must be resummed at these points. It was observed earlier that a certain quadratic…
Using the correspondence between gauge theories and string theory in curved backgrounds, we investigate aspects of the large $N$ limit of non-commutative gauge theories by considering gravity solutions with $B$ fields. We argue that the…
