The authors studied in [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincar\'e D 9, 367-433, (2022)], a complex multi-matrix model with $\mathrm{U}(N)^2 \times \mathrm{O}(D)$ symmetry, and whose double scaling limit where simultaneously the large-$N$ and large-$D$…
We study the $O(N)$-invariant $\phi^4$ model on the simple cubic lattice by using Monte Carlo simulations. By using a finite size scaling analysis, we obtain accurate estimates for the critical exponents $\nu$ and $\eta$ for $N=4$, $5$,…
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…
We compute the beta functions for the $O(N)^3$-invariant general sextic tensor model up to cubic order in the coupling constant, and at leading order in the $1/N$ expansion. Our method is a direct, explicit one, in the sense that we…
Recent advances in boundary critical phenomena have led to the discovery of a new surface universality class in the three-dimensional $O(N)$ model. The newly found ``extraordinary-log" phase can be realized on a two-dimensional surface for…
Using a simple identity between various partial derivatives of the energy of the vector model in 0+0 dimensions, we derive explicit results for the coefficients of the large N expansion of the model. These coefficients are functions in a…
We consider a variation of $O(N)$-symmetric vector models in which the vector components are Grassmann numbers. We show that these theories generate the same sort of random polymer models as the $O(N)$ vector models and that they lie in the…
In the first part of this lecture, the 1/N expansion technique is illustrated for the case of the large-N sigma model. In large-N gauge theories, the 1/N expansion is tantamount to sorting the Feynman diagrams according to their degree of…
A new set of infinitesimal transformations generalizing scale invariance for strongly anisotropic critical systems is considered. It is shown that such a generalization is possible if the anisotropy exponent \theta =2/N, with N=1,2,3 ...…
For a long time, the predictive limits of perturbative quantum field theory have been limited by our inability to carry out loop calculations to arbitrarily high order, which become increasingly complex as the order of perturbation theory…
The process of alternately row scaling and column scaling a positive $n \times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic positive $n \times n$ matrix $S(A)$, often called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. The main result in this paper…
Amplitudes of ordinary tensor models are dominated at large $N$ by the so-called melonic graph amplitudes. Enhanced tensor models extend tensor models with special scalings of their interactions which allow, in the same limit, that the…
The fractal structure and critical properties of the high-temperature graphs of the two-dimensional O($N)$ model close to criticality are investigated. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, De Gennes' results for polymer chains, corresponding…
The large-N expansion of the quasi-two-dimensional quantum nonlinear $\sigma$ model (QNLSM) is used in order to establish experimentally applicable universal scaling relations for the quasi-two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We…
The Thirring model, that is, a relativistic field theory of fermions with a contact interaction between vector currents, is studied for dimensionalities 2<d<4 using the 1/N_f expansion, where N_f is the number of fermion species. The model…
We investigate the matrix model with weight $w(x):=\exp(-z^2/2x^2 + t/x - x^2/2)$ and unitary symmetry. and unitary symmetry. In particular we study the double scaling limit as $N \to \infty$ and $(\sqrt{N} t, Nz^2 ) \to (u_1,u_2)$, where…
Tensor models and tensor field theories admit a $1/N$ expansion and a melonic large $N$ limit which is simpler than the planar limit of random matrices and richer than the large $N$ limit of vector models. They provide examples of…
The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in \cite{MMM91}, which possess the $W$-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in details. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality…
We show how to obtain the O(N) non-linear sigma model in two dimensions as a strong coupling limit of the corresponding linear sigma model. In taking the strong coupling limit, the squared mass parameter must be given a specific coupling…
