The Schwinger-Dyson Equations (SDEs) of matrix models are known to form (half) a Virasoro algebra and have become a standard tool to solve matrix models. The algebra generated by SDEs in tensor models (for random tensors in a suitable…

We contrast some aspects of various SYK-like models with large-$N$ melonic behavior. First, we note that ungauged tensor models can exhibit symmetry breaking, even though these are 0+1 dimensional theories. Related to this, we show that…

We discuss the possibility of constraining theories of gravity in which the connection is a fundamental variable by searching for observational consequences of the torsion degrees of freedom. In a wide class of models, the only modes of the…

Perturbation theory for a class of topological field theories containing antisymmetric tensor fields is considered. These models are characterized by a supersymmetric structure which allows to establish their perturbative finiteness.

In Tensor Field Theory (TFT), observables are defined through tensor field contractions that produce unitary invariants for complex-valued tensor fields. Traditionally, these observables are constructed using tensor fields of a fixed order…

We use a reformulation of topological group field theories in 3 and 4 dimensions in terms of variables associated to vertices, in 3d, and edges, in 4d, to obtain new scaling bounds for their Feynman amplitudes. In both 3 and 4 dimensions,…

In this talk I describe some applications of random matrix models to the study of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with matter fields in the fundamental representation. I review the derivation of the…

Non-commutative (NC) field theories can be mapped onto twisted matrix models. This mapping enables their Monte Carlo simulation, where the large N limit of the matrix models describes the continuum limit of NC field theory. First we present…

A tensor space is a vector space equipped with a finite collection of multi-linear forms. In recent years, a rich theory of infinite dimensional tensor spaces has emerged. In this note, we show that a large class of permutation groups can…

We consider two model field theories on a noncommutative plane that have smooth commutative limits. One is the single-component fermion theory with quartic interaction that vanishes identically in the commutative limit. The other is a…

We study large $N$ tensor models on the lattice without disorder. We introduce techniques which can be applied to a wide class of models, and illustrate it by studying some specific rank-3 tensor models. In particular, we study…

In this paper we generalize the results of [1,2] and derive the full 1/N expansion of colored tensor models in arbitrary dimensions. We detail the expansion for the independent identically distributed model and the topological Boulatov…

We provide a set of theoretical constraints on models in which the Standard Model field content is extended by vector-like fermions and in some cases also by a real scalar singlet. Our approach is based on the study of electroweak vacuum…

We present some approaches to the perturbative analysis of the classical and quantum gravity. First we introduce a graphical representation for a global SO(n) tensor $(\pl)^d h_\ab$, which generally appears in the weak field expansion…

We construct N-complexes of non completely antisymmetric irreducible tensor fields on $\mathbb R^D$ generalizing thereby the usual complex (N=2) of differential forms. These complexes arise naturally in the description of higher spin gauge…

We study a class of Lorentz violating quantum field theories that contain higher space derivatives, but no higher time derivatives, and become renormalizable in the large N expansion. The fixed points of their renormalization-group flows…

This work considers a computationally and statistically efficient parameter estimation method for a wide class of latent variable models---including Gaussian mixture models, hidden Markov models, and latent Dirichlet allocation---which…

In this paper, we give a survey of the known results concerning the tensor rank of the multiplication in finite fields and we establish new asymptotical and not asymptotical upper bounds about it.

Recently, several extensions of massive vector theory in curved space-time have been proposed in many literatures. In this paper, we consider the most general vector-tensor theories that contain up to two derivatives with respect to metric…

I describe a tensor-vector-scalar theory that reconciles the galaxy scale success of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) with the cosmological scale evidence for CDM. The theory provides a cosmological basis for MOND in the sense that the…
