We consider $\mathcal N=2$ conformal QCD in four dimensions and the one-point correlator of a class of chiral primaries with the circular $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS Maldacena-Wilson loop. We analyze a recently introduced double scaling limit where…

It was recently found that the classical 3d O$(N)$ model in the semi-infinite geometry can exhibit an "extraordinary-log" boundary universality class, where the spin-spin correlation function on the boundary falls off as $\langle \vec{S}(x)…

A finite graph embedded in the plane is called a series-parallel map if it can be obtained from a finite tree by repeatedly subdividing and doubling edges. We study the scaling limit of weighted random two-connected series-parallel maps…

We give an algorithm for obtaining expansions of massive two-loop Feynman graphs in powers of the external momentum around a finite, nonzero value of the momentum. This is based on our general two-loop formalism to reduce massive two-loop…

Tensor models are generalizations of matrix models, and are studied as discrete models of quantum gravity for arbitrary dimensions. Among them, the canonical tensor model (CTM for short) is a rank-three tensor model formulated as a totally…

We explore how matrix bootstrap techniques can be used to constrain matrix and tensor models at finite $N$, where $N$ is the dimension of the matrix/tensor, taking a Gaussian model with a quartic interaction as example. For matrix models,…

Three related analyses of $\phi^4$ theory with $O(N)$ symmetry are presented. In the first, we review the $O(N)$ model over the $p$-adic numbers and the discrete renormalization group transformations which can be understood as spin blocking…

A general form factor formula for the $O(N)\sigma$-model is constructed and applied to several operators. The large N limits of these form factors are computed and compared with the 1/N expansion of the $O(N)\sigma$-model in terms of…

We consider an $O(N)$ scalar field model with quartic interaction in $d$-dimensional Euclidean de Sitter space. In order to avoid the problems of the standard perturbative calculations for light and massless fields, we generalize to the…

Conformal 3-point correlators of conserved currents play important roles in numerous directions. These correlators are fixed by conformal symmetry up to a few parameters, which are known only at leading order in perturbative expansions. The…

I provide evidence that the 2D $RP^{N-1}$ model for $N \ge 3$ is equivalent to the $O(N)$-invariant non-linear $\sigma$-model in the continuum limit. To this end, I mainly study particular versions of the models, to be called constraint…
