We consider perturbation of a conformal field theory by a pair of relevant logarithmic operators and calculate the beta function up to two loops. We observe that the beta function can not be derived from a potential. Thus the…
We calculate the one loop beta functions for nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions containing general two and four derivative terms. In the O(N) model there are four such terms and nontrivial fixed points exist for all N \geq 4. In the…
Using Wilsonian methods, we study the renormalization group flow of the Nonlinear Sigma Model in any dimension $d$, restricting our attention to terms with two derivatives. At one loop we always find a Ricci flow. When symmetries completely…
Kaluza-Klein reductions of low energy string effective actions possess a continuous $O(d,d) $ symmetry. The non-geometric elements of this group, parameterized by a bi-vector $\beta$, are not inherited from the symmetries of the…
String backgrounds associated with gauged $G/H$ WZNW models generically depend on $\alpha'$ or $1/k$. The exact expressions for the corresponding metric $G_{\m\n}$, antisymmetric tensor $B_{\m\n}$, and dilaton $\phi$ can be obtained by…

By explicit solution of the one-loop finiteness conditions for all dimensionless coupling constants (i.~e., gauge coupling constant as well as Yukawa and quartic scalar-boson self-interaction coupling constants), two classes of grand…
We study the two loop quantum equivalence of sigma models related by Buscher's T-duality transformation. The computation of the two loop perturbative free energy density is performed in the case of a certain deformation of the SU(2)…
We study the non-minimal supersymmetric heterotically deformed $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ sigma model with the Grassmannian target space $\mathcal{G}_{M,N}$. To develop the appropriate superfield formalism, we begin with a simplified model with…
We briefly report our calculation of the 2-loop coefficient of the coupling constant renormalization function Z_g in lattice perturbation theory. The quantity under study is defined through g_0 = Z_g g, where g_0 (g) is the bare…
It has been known for some time that 2-loop renormalization group (RG) equations of a dimensionless parameter can be solved in a closed form in terms of the Lambert W function. We apply the method to a generic theory with a Gaussian fixed…
We resolve the long-standing claim that regularisation by dimensional reduction (DR) fails to preserve supersymmetry in Super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories at three loops. Earlier results reported a mismatch between the Yukawa and ghost-gluon…
