Applying the Exact Renormalization Group to scalar field theory in Euclidean space of general (not necessarily integer) dimension, it is proven that the only fixed-point with vanishing anomalous dimension is the Gaussian one. The proof…
A new version of scale analysis and renormalization theory has been found on the non-commutative Moyal space. It could be useful for physics beyond the standard model or for standard physics in strong external field. The good news is that…
An exact renormalization group for theories of a scalar chiral superfield is formulated, directly in four dimensional Euclidean space. By constructing a projector which isolates the superpotential from the full Wilsonian effective action,…

We prove that the self-interacting scalar field on the four-dimensional degenerate Moyal plane is renormalisable to all orders when adding a suitable counterterm to the Lagrangean. Despite the apparent simplicity of the model, it raises…
Quantum field theories require a cutoff to regulate divergences that result from local interactions, and yet physical results can not depend on the value of this cutoff. The renormalization group employs a transformation that changes the…
The general structure of the renormalization group equations for the low energy effective field theory formulation of pure gravity is presented. The solution of these equations takes a particular simple form if the mass scale of the…
In recent papers it has been observed that non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, such as those describing $ig\phi^3$ and $-g\phi^4$ field theories, still possess real positive spectra so long as the weaker condition of ${\cal PT}$ symmetry holds.…
We study gauge hierarchy problem of the Standard Model (SM) not by introducing new physics at the electroweak scale but by utilizing gravitational frames, frames generated by conformal transformations, as a renormalization medium. The…
We review some aspects of non commutative quantum field theory and group field theory, in particular recent progress on the systematic study of the scaling and renormalization properties of group field theory. We thank G. Zoupanos and the…
We study the non-linear background field redefinitions arising at the quantum level in a spontaneously broken effective gauge field theory. The non-linear field redefinitions are crucial for the symmetric (i.e. fulfilling all the relevant…
The parameter space of the simplest extension of the standard model, is studied in the light of the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovery. The Hill model extends the scalar sector of the standard model with a real singlet, that mixes with the SM…
We use functional renormalization group methods to study gravity minimally coupled to a free scalar field. This setup provides the prototype of a gravitational theory which is perturbatively non-renormalizable at one-loop level, but may…
