We study theories generated by orbifolding the {\cal N}=4 super conformal U(N) Yang Mills theory with finite N, focusing on the r\^ole of the remnant U(1) gauge symmetries of the orbifold process. It is well known that the one loop beta…
A class of continuum models with a critical end point is considered whose Hamiltonian ${\mathcal{H}}[\phi,\psi]$ involves two densities: a primary order-parameter field, $\phi$, and a secondary (noncritical) one, $\psi$. Field-theoretic…
In this survey we report on some recent results related to various singular phenomena arising in the study of some classes of nonlinear elliptic equations. We establish qualitative results on the existence, nonexistence or the uniqueness of…
Recently the neglected issue of the causal structure in the flat spacetime approach to Einstein's theory of gravity has been substantially resolved. Consistency requires that the flat metric's null cone be respected by the null cone of the…
We demonstrate that it is possible to determine the coefficients of an all-order beta function linear in the anomalous dimensions using as data the two-loop coefficients together with the first one of the anomalous dimensions which are…
We derive a class of solutions to the string sigma-model equations for the closed bosonic string. The tachyon field is taken to form a constant condensate and the beta-function equations at one-loop level are solved for the evolution of the…
Multiplicative logarithmic corrections frequently characterize critical behaviour in statistical physics. Here, a recently proposed theory relating the exponents of such terms is extended to account for circumstances which often occur when…
We consider the fixed-dimension perturbative expansion. We discuss the nonanalyticity of the renormalization-group functions at the fixed point and its consequences for the numerical determination of critical quantities.
We prove large deviation principles for $\int_0^t \gamma(X_s)ds$, where $X$ is a $d$-dimensional self-similar Gaussian process and $\gamma(x)$ takes the form of the Dirac delta function $\delta(x)$, $|x|^{-\beta}$ with $\beta\in (0,d)$, or…
We prove, under certain conditions on $(\alpha,\beta)$, that each Schwartz function $f$ such that $f(\pm n^{\alpha}) = \hat{f}(\pm n^{\beta}) = 0, \forall n \ge 0$ must vanish identically, complementing a series of recent results involving…
Utilizing a new variational principle that allows dealing with problems beyond the usual locally compactness structure, we study problems with a supercritical nonlinearity of the type $ -\Delta u + u= a(x) f(u)$ in $ \Omega$ with…
We study the discrete beta function of SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=12 massless fermions in the fundamental representation. Using an nHYP-smeared staggered lattice action and an improved gradient flow running coupling $\tilde g_c^2(L)$ we…
We prove a central limit theorem for the linear statistics of one-dimensional log-gases, or $\beta$-ensembles. We use a method based on a change of variables which allows to treat fairly general situations, including multi-cut and, for the…
We determine the Jack and Osborn a-function and related metric for gauge-fermion theories to leading order in the large number of fermions and to all orders in the gauge coupling, demonstrating that the strong a-theorem is violated for the…
In a conformal field theory with weakly broken higher spin symmetry, the leading order anomalous dimensions of the broken currents can be efficiently determined from the structure of the classical non-conservation equations. We apply this…
The critical behaviour of a non-local scalar field theory is studied. This theory has a non-local kinetic term which involves a real power 1-2\alpha of the Laplacian. The interaction term is the usual local \phi^{4} interaction. The lowest…
We consider a single site large N gauge theory coupled to adjoint fermions at weak coupling. We study the distribution of the eigenvalues of the link variables using a four-dimensional density function. We show that it is possible to…
