We algebraically prove the cancellation of the beta function at all order of perturbation theory of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with a vanishing one-loop beta function. The proof generalises that recently given for the N=4 case. It…
We study the role of categorical symmetries in constraining the renormalisation of couplings in two-dimensional non-linear sigma models with Wess-Zumino term. A large class of these theories admit self-duality symmetries associated with…
We show that the holomorphic Wilsonian beta-function of a renormalizable asymptotically free supersymmetric gauge theory with an arbitrary semi-simple gauge group, matter content, and renormalizable superpotential is exhausted at 1-loop…
We compute the contribution to the modulus of the one-loop effective action in pure non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory in an arbitrary covariant gauge. We find that the results are dependent on both the gauge parameter ($\alpha$) and the…
We use the critical point large $N$ formalism to calculate the critical exponents corresponding to the fermion mass operator and flavour non-singlet fermion bilinear operator in the universality class of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)…
A detailed study of complex-space singularities of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation is performed in the short-time asymptotic r\'egime when such singularities are very far from the real domain; this allows an exact…
Recently there has been much interest in gauge theories applied to condensed matter physics. I show that for a system of nonrelativistic electrons coupled to a U(1) gauge field in the presence of a Fermi surface, the beta-function to…
We derive the lattice $\beta$-function for quantum spin chains, suitable for relating finite temperature Monte Carlo data to the zero temperature fixed points of the continuum nonlinear sigma model. Our main result is that the asymptotic…
Let $N \geq 3$ and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ be $C^2$ bounded domain. We study the existence of positive solution $u \in H^1(\Omega)$ of \begin{align*} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\Delta u + \lambda u = \frac{|u|^{2^*(s)-2}u}{|x-x_1|^s} +…
We obtain large $N$ asymptotics for $N \times N$ Hankel determinants corresponding to non-negative symbols with Fisher-Hartwig (FH) singularities in the multi-cut regime. Our result includes the explicit computation of the multiplicative…
We unveil the general features of the phase diagram for any gauge theory with fermions transforming according to distinct representations of the underlying gauge group, at the four-loop order. We classify and analyze the zeros of the…
Nonlinear heat equations in two dimensions with singular initial data are studied. In recent works nonlinearities with exponential growth of Trudinger-Moser type have been shown to manifest critical behavior: well-posedness in the…
For a general ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory regularized by higher covariant derivatives we prove in all orders that the $\beta$-function defined in terms of the bare couplings is given by integrals of double total derivatives…
We extend the construction of lattice chiral gauge theories based on non-perturbative gauge fixing to the non-abelian case. A key ingredient is that fermion doublers can be avoided at a novel type of critical point which is only accessible…
For a $\beta$ ensemble on $\Sigma^{(N)}=\{(x_1,\ldots,x_N)\mathbb R^N|x_1\le\cdots\le x_N\}$ with real analytic potential and general $\beta>0$, under the assumption that its equilibrium measure is supported on $q$ intervals where $q>1$, we…
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent…
The $ \beta $-functions of marginal couplings are known to be closely related to the $ A $-function through Osborn's equation, derived using the local renormalization group. It is possible to derive strong constraints on the…
We study the problem of disorder-free metals near a continuous quantum critical point. We depart from the standard paradigm of Hertz and Millis, and treat both fermions and bosons i.e. order parameter fields) on equal footing. We construct…
We introduce new zeta functions related to an endomorphism $\phi$ of a discrete group $\Gamma$. They are of two types: counting numbers of fixed ($\rho\sim \rho\circ\phi^n$) irreducible representations for iterations of $\phi$ from an…
An extended version of 4-d SU(2) lattice gauge theory is considered in which different inverse coupling parameters are used, $\beta_H=4/g_{H}^2$ for plaquettes which are purely spacelike, and $\beta_V$ for those which involve the Euclidean…
