We show that sums over graphs such as appear in the theory of Feynman diagrams can be seen as integrals over discrete groupoids. From this point of view, basic combinatorial formulas of the theory of Feynman diagrams can be interpreted as…
We employ projection operator techniques in Hilbert space to derive a continuous sequence of effective Hamiltonians which describe the dynamics on successively larger length scales. We show for the case of \phi^4 theory that the masses and…
We propose a general method to obtain the scalar worldline Green function on an arbitrary 1D topological space, with which the first-quantized method of evaluating 1-loop Feynman diagrams can be generalized to calculate arbitrary ones. The…
Generalized sine and cosine functions, $\sin_{n}$ and $\cos_{n}$, that parametrize the generalized unit circle $x^n+y^n=1$ are, much like their classical circular counterparts, extendable as complex analytic functions. In this article, we…
Divide-and-conquer functions satisfy equations in F(z),F(z^2),F(z^4)... Their generated sequences are mainly used in computer science, and they were analyzed pragmatically, that is, now and then a sequence was picked out for scrutiny. By…
We show that interval partition functions (transition amplitudes) of three-dimensional $N = 2$ theories admit factorizations into sums of products of hemisphere partition functions with additional normalization factors. We prove the…
We present a new approach to calculation of anomalous dimensions in the framework of $\epsilon$-expansion and renormalization group method. This approach allows one to skip the calculation of renormalization constants and express anomalous…
A sequence D=(d1, d2, ..., dn) of positive integers is graphic if it is the degree sequence of a simple graph, called in this case a {\em realization} of D. In this paper, we introduce the operation of 2-reduction, that subtracts 1 from two…
Recent algorithmic improvements have made it possible to evaluate subdivergence-free (=primitive=skeleton) Feynman integrals in $\phi^4$ theory numerically up to 18 loops. By now, all such integrals up to 13 loops and several hundred…
The problem of constructing a quantum theory of gravity has been tackled with very different strategies, most of which relying on the interplay between ideas from physics and from advanced mathematics. On the mathematical side, a central…
Functional graphs (FGs) model the graph structures used to analyse the behaviour of functions from a discrete set to itself. In turn, such functions are used to study real complex phenomena evolving in time. As the systems involved can be…
The parametric geometry of numbers has allowed to visualize the simultaneous approximation properties of a collection of real numbers through the combined graph of the related successive minima functions. Several inequalities among…
UD integrals published by N. Usyukina and A. Davydychev in 1992-1993 are integrals corresponding to ladder-type Feynman diagrams. The results are UD functions $\Phi^{(L)},$ where $L$ is the number of loops. They play an important role in…
We consider non-linear generalizations of fractal interpolating functions applied to functions of one and two variables. The use of such interpolating functions in resizing images is illustrated.
The two point integrals contributing to the self energy of a particle in a three dimensional quantum field theory are calculated to two loop order in perturbation theory as well as the vacuum ones contributing to the effective potential to…
We derive new functional renormalisation group flows for quantum gravity, in any dimension. The key new achievement is that the equations apply for any theory of gravity whose underlying Lagrangian $\sim f(R_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma})$ is a…
In theories like SM or MSSM with a complex gauge group structure the complete set of Feynman diagrams contributed to a particular physics process can be splited to exact gauge invariant subsets. Arguments and examples given in the review…
We review certain classes of iterated integrals that appear in the computation of Feynman integrals that involve elliptic functions. These functions generalise the well-known class of multiple polylogarithms to elliptic curves and are…
We state some remarks on `$n$-dimensional Feynman diagrams' ($n\in\N$). There are different features between in the case of $n$-dimensional Feynman diagrams($n\geqq3$) and in the 1-, 2-dimensional case.
Motivated by applications to stochastic programming, we introduce and study the expected-integral functionals, which are mappings given in an integral form depending on two variables, the first a finite dimensional decision vector and the…
