We study a supersymmetric tensor model with four supercharges and $O(N)^3$ global symmetry. The model is based on a chiral scalar superfield with three indices and quartic tetrahedral interaction in the superpotential, which is relevant…

We study the $O(N)^3$ symmetric quantum field theory of a bosonic tensor $\phi^{abc}$ with sextic interactions. Its large $N$ limit is dominated by a positive-definite operator, whose index structure has the topology of a prism. We present…

We study the spectrum of the large $N$ quantum field theory of bosonic rank-$3$ tensors, whose quartic interactions are such that the perturbative expansion is dominated by the melonic diagrams. We use the Schwinger-Dyson equations to…

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 consider a supersymmetric SYK-like model without quenched disorder that is built by coupling two kinds of fermionic N=1 tensor-valued superfields, "quarks" and "mesons". We prove that the model has a well-defined large-N limit in which…

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,…

This thesis focuses on renormalization of quantum field theories. Its first part considers three tensor models in three dimensions, a Fermionic quartic with tensors of rank-3 and two Bosonic sextic, of ranks 3 and 5. We rely upon the…

In this work we study some properties of the three dimensional $U(N)$ SUSY Chern-Simons coupled to a scalar field in the fundamental representation in the large $N$ limit. For large $N$ we show that the theory has two phases, one which is…

This thesis focuses on renormalization of tensor field theories. Its first part considers a quartic tensor model with $O(N)^3$ symmetry and long-range propagator. The existence of a non-perturbative fixed point in any $d$ at large $N$ is…

We study classical and quantum (at large-$N$) field equations of bosonic tensor models with quartic interactions and $O(N)^3$ symmetry. Among various possible patterns of spontaneous symmetry breaking we highlight an $SO(3)$ invariant…

It has recently been proven that in rank three tensor models, the anti-symmetric and symmetric traceless sectors both support a large $N$ expansion dominated by melon diagrams [arXiv:1712.00249 [hep-th]]. We show how to extend these results…

We study the dynamics of light quantum scalar fields in de Sitter space on superhorizon scales. We compute the self-energy of an O(N) symmetric theory at next-to-leading order in a 1/N expansion in the regime of superhorizon momenta, and we…

We perform a global renormalization group study of O(N) symmetric Wess-Zumino theories and their phases in three euclidean dimensions. At infinite N the theory is solved exactly. The phases and phase transitions are worked out for finite…

The first part of these lecture notes is mostly devoted to a comparative discussion of the three basic large $N$ limits, which apply to fields which are vectors, matrices, or tensors of rank three and higher. After a brief review of some…

We continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1404.1094, of the $O(N)$ symmetric theory of $N+1$ massless scalar fields in $6-\epsilon$ dimensions. This theory has cubic interaction terms $\frac{1}{2}g_1 \sigma (\phi^i)^2 + \frac{1}{6}g_2…

We study the double scaling limit of the $O(N)^3$-invariant tensor model, initially introduced in Carrozza and Tanasa, Lett. Math. Phys. (2016). This model has an interacting part containing two types of quartic invariants, the tetrahedric…

We analyse in this paper the large N limit of the Schwinger-Dyson equations in a rank-3 tensor quantum field theory, which are derived with the help of Ward-Takahashi identities. In order to have a well-defined large N limit, appropriate…

We introduce a family of tensor quantum-mechanical models based on irreducible rank-$3$ representations of $\mathrm{Sp}(N)$. In contrast to irreducible tensor models with $\mathrm{O}(N)$ symmetry, the fermionic tetrahedral interaction does…

We prove rigorously that the symmetric traceless and the antisymmetric tensor models in rank three with tetrahedral interaction admit a $1/N$ expansion, and that at leading order they are dominated by melon diagrams. This proves the recent…

We review the solutions of O(N) and U(N) quantum field theories in the large $N$ limit and as 1/N expansions, in the case of vector representations. Since invariant composite fields have small fluctuations for large $N$, the method relies…
