The loop equations for the $\beta$-ensembles are conventionally solved in terms of a $1/N$ expansion. We observe that it is also possible to fix $N$ and expand in inverse powers of $\beta$. At leading order, for the one-point function…
In this paper, we give a classification of the isolated singularities of positive solutions to the semilinear fractional elliptic equations $$(E) \quad\quad (-\Delta)^s u = |x|^{\theta} u^{p}\quad {\rm in}\ \ B_1\setminus\{0\},\quad u=…
The SU(3) beta function is computed from Wilson loops to 20th order numerical stochastic perturbation theory. An attempt is made to include massless fermions, whose contribution is known analytically to 4th order. The question whether the…
Recent work using a large-charge expansion for the $O(N)$ Wilson-Fisher conformal field theory has shown that the anomalous dimensions of large-charge operators can be expressed in terms of a few low-energy constants (LECs) of a…
We describe a new method to determine non-perturbatively the beta function of a gauge theory using lattice simulations in the p-regime of the theory. This complements alternative measurements of the beta function working directly at zero…
It has been conjectured that 3d fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields are dual to 3d critical scalars, also minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields. The large $N$ arguments for this duality can formally be used to…
We investigate $\beta$-functions of quantum gravity using dimensional regularisation. In contrast to minimal subtraction, a non-minimal renormalisation scheme is employed which is sensitive to power-law divergences from mass terms or…
We describe in detail the method used in our previous work arXiv:1611.10344 to study the Wilson-Fisher critical points nearby generalized free CFTs, exploiting the analytic structure of conformal blocks as functions of the conformal…
We establish the uniqueness of the positive solution for equations of the form $-\Delta u=au-b(x)f(u)$ in $\Omega$, $u|\_{\partial\Omega}=\infty$. The special feature is to consider nonlinearities $f$ whose variation at infinity is…
We use the large N_f self consistency formalism to compute the $O(1/N_f)$ critical exponent corresponding to the renormalization of the flavour non-singlet twist two Wilson operators which arise in the operator product expansion of currents…
We consider a Bohmian approach to the Wheeler-DeWitt quantization of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker model and investigate the question whether or not there are singularities, in the sense that the universe reaches zero volume. We…
We consider a system of interacting fermions in two dimensions beyond the second-order perturbation theory in the interaction. It is shown that the mass-shell singularities in the self-energy, arising already at the second order of the…
We consider a non-Abelian gauge theory with $N_f$ fermions and discuss the possible existence of a non-trivial UV fixed point at large $N_f$. Specifically, we study the anomalous dimension of the (rescaled) glueball operator $\text{Tr}\…
This paper investigates the coupling of massive fermions to gravity within the context of a non-Abelian gauge theory, utilizing the effective field theory framework for quantum gravity. Specifically, we calculate the two-loop beta function…
The previously obtained analytical asymptotic expressions for the Gell-Mann - Low function \beta(g) and anomalous dimensions of \phi^4 theory in the limit g\to\infty are based on the parametric representation of the form g = f(t), \beta(g)…
In the classical $\beta$-ensembles of random matrix theory, setting $\beta = 2 \alpha/N$ and taking the $N \to \infty$ limit gives a statistical state depending on $\alpha$. Using the loop equations for the classical $\beta$-ensembles, we…
Within the set of schemes defined by generalized, manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization groups for QED, it is argued that the beta-function in the four dimensional massless theory cannot possess any nonperturbative power…
Grand unified theories with fermions transforming as irreducible representations of a discrete nonabelian flavor symmetry can lead to realistic fermion masses, without requiring very small fundamental parameters. We construct a specific…
The dynamics of fermionic unparticles is developed from first principles. It is shown that any unparticle, whether fermionic or bosonic, can be recast in terms of a canonically quantized field, but with non-local interaction terms. We…
We present calculations of the leading and $O(1/N_f)$ terms in a large-$N_f$ expansion of the $\beta$-functions and anomalous dimensions for various supersymmetric gauge theories, including supersymmetric QCD. In the case of supersymmetric…
