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…

The establishment of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (WFP) for $O(n)$ spin models in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions stands as a cornerstone of the renormalization group (RG) theory for critical phenomena. However, when long-range (LR)…

For a 4-dimensional spatially-flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a scalar field $\phi(x)$, potential $V(\phi)$ and constant equation of state $w=p/\rho$, we show that an expanding solution characterized by $\epsilon=3(1+w)/2$…

We apply the $\delta$-expansion perturbation scheme to the $\lambda \phi^{4}$ self-interacting scalar field theory in 3+1 D at finite temperature. In the $\delta$-expansion the interaction term is written as $\lambda (\phi^{2})^{ 1 +…

We study quintessential inflation using a generalized exponential potential $V(\phi)\propto exp(-\lambda \phi^n/Mpl^n), n>1$, the model admits slow-roll inflation at early times and leads to close-to-scaling behaviour in the post…

We consider $\phi^3$ theory in $6-2\epsilon$ with $F_4$ global symmetry. The beta function is calculated up to 3 loops, and a stable unitary IR fixed point is observed. The anomalous dimensions of operators quadratic or cubic in $\phi$ are…

We study symmetry-breaking line defects in the Wilson-Fisher theory with $O(2N+1)$ global symmetry near four dimensions and symmetry-preserving surface defects in a cubic model with $O(2N)$ global symmetry near six dimensions. We introduce…

We compute the lowest operator dimension $\Delta(J;D)$ at large global charge $J$ in the $O(2)$ Wilson-Fisher model in $D=4-\epsilon$ dimensions, to leading order in both $1/J$ and $\epsilon$. The final result for $\Delta(J;D)$ in the…

Usually the asymptotic behavior for large orders of the perturbation theory is reached rather slowly. However, in the case of the N-component $\phi^4$ model in D=4 dimensions one can find a special quantity that exhibits an extremely fast…
