Calculations of the two-loop $\beta$-function for N=1 supersymmetric electrodynamics are compared for regularizations by higher derivatives and by the dimensional reduction. The renormalized effective action are found to be the same for…
We show how to get the one-loop beta function and the chiral anomaly of N=1 Super QCD from a stack of fractional N D3-branes localized inside the world-volume of 2M fractional D7-branes on the orbifold C^3/(Z_2 x Z_2). They are obtained by…
We study fixed-points of scalar fields that transform in the bifundamental representation of $O(N)\times O(M)$ in $3-\epsilon$ dimensions, generalizing the classic tricritical sextic vector model. In the limit where $N$ is large but $M$ is…

We present a both ultraviolet and infrared regularization independent analysis in a symmetry preserving framework for the N=1 Super Yang-Mills beta function to two loop order. We show explicitly that off-shell infrared divergences as well…

The renormalizability of the three dimensional supersymmetric CP^(N - 1) model is discussed in the 1/N-expansion method, to all orders of 1/N. The model has N copies of the dynamical field and the amplitudes are expanded in powers of 1/N.…
Infrared divergences from the exchange of dynamically screened magnetic gluons (photons) lead to the breakdown of the Fermi liquid description of the {\em normal} state of cold and dense QCD and QED. We implement a resummation of these…
We review recent activity in the construction of the renormalization group functions for O(N) scalar and gauge theories in six and higher dimensions. The theories lie in their respective universality classes at the Wilson-Fisher fixed…
We continue the study of the ultraviolet problem for QED in d=3 using Balaban's formulation of the renormalization group. The model is defined on a fine toroidal lattice and we seek control as the lattice spacing goes to zero. Drawing on…
We explicitly compute the one-loop exact beta function for a nonlocal extension of the standard gauge theory, in particular Yang-Mills and QED. The theory, made of a weakly nonlocal kinetic term and a local potential of the gauge field, is…
The infinitesimal unitary transformation, introduced recently by F.Wegner, to bring the Hamiltonian to diagonal (or band diagonal) form, is applied to the Hamiltonian theory as an exact renormalization scheme. We consider QED on the light…
The effect of the collinear photon radiation by charged particles is considered in the second order of the perturbation theory. Double and single photon radiation is evaluated. The corresponding radiation factors are obtained. The QED…
Nuclear modification of the structure function $F_3$ is investigated. Although it could be estimated in the medium and large $x$ regions from the nuclear structure function $F_2^A$, it is essentially unknown at small $x$. The nuclear…
Superallowed ($0^+\rightarrow0^+$) beta decays currently provide the most precise extraction of quark mixing in the Standard Model. Their interpretation as a measurement of $|V_{ud}|$ relies on a reliable first-principles computation of QED…
The QCD$\times$QED factorization is studied for two-body non-leptonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays with heavy-light final states. These non-leptonic decays, like $\bar{B}^0_{(s)}\to D^+_{(s)} \pi^-$ and $\bar{B}_d^0 \to D^+ K^-$, are among…
In the paper, we calculate the fragmentation functions for $c \to \eta_c$ and $b \to \eta_b$ up to next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD accuracy. The ultraviolet divergences in the real corrections are removed through operator renormalization…
