Perturbative expansions of QCD observables in powers of $\alpha_s$ are believed to be asymptotic and non-Borel summable due to the existence of singularities in the Borel plane (renormalons). This fact is connected with the factorization of…
The large $N$ expansion plays a fundamental role in quantum and statistical field theory. We show on the example of the O$(N)$ model that at $N=\infty$, its traditional implementation misses in all dimensions below four some fixed points of…
We study the Hamiltonian truncation for the two-dimensional $\lambda\phi^4$ theory within the framework of Hamiltonian truncation effective theory, where truncation artifacts are mitigated through a systematic inclusion of corrective terms…
Recent proposal of the duality between the $N=2$ noncompact QED$_3$ and the easy-plane noncompact CP$^1$ (NCCP$^1$) model suggests that the deconfined quantum critical point (dQCP) between the easy-plane antiferromagnet and the VBS order on…
We study the QCD charge asymmetry in t\bar{t} production at the Tevatron. We investigate the role of higher orders in perturbation theory by considering the resummation of potentially large logarithmic corrections that arise near partonic…
The O$(N)$ vector model in the presence of a boundary has a non-trivial fixed point in $(4-\epsilon)$ dimensions and exhibits critical behaviors described by boundary conformal field theory. The spectrum of boundary operators is…
We study the IR phase of three dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED$_3$) coupled to $N_f=2$ flavors of two-component Dirac fermions, which has been controversial for decades. This theory has been proposed to be self-dual with symmetry…
Exact large-$N_{f}$ results for the QCD Adler $D$-function and Deep Inelastic Scattering sum rules are used to resum to all orders the portion of QCD perturbative coefficients containing the highest power of…
Results on the resummation of non-power-series expansions of the Adler function of a scalar, $D_S$, and a vector, $D_V$, correlator are presented within fractional analytic perturbation theory (FAPT). The first observable can be used to…
We analyze truncated series generated as divergent formal solutions of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Motivating the study is a specific non-linear, first-order differential equation, which is the basis of the resurgent…
Scalars carrying a conserved global charge $Q$ can form stable localized field configurations composed of a large number of particles. These non-topological solitons are spherically symmetric and are called Q-balls. While usually analyzed…
A family of exact conformal field theories is constructed which describe charged black strings in three dimensions. Unlike previous charged black hole or extended black hole solutions in string theory, the low energy spacetime metric has a…
While sign-coherent 4-dimensional structures cannot dominate topological charge fluctuations in the QCD vacuum at all scales due to reflection positivity, it is possible that enhanced coherence exists over extended space-time regions of…
We reconsider in some detail a construction allowing (Borel) convergence of an alternative perturbative expansion, for specific physical quantities of asymptotically free models. The usual perturbative expansions (with an explicit mass…
In theories with renormalons the perturbative series is factorially divergent even after restricting to a given order in $1/N$, making the $1/N$ expansion a natural testing ground for the theory of resurgence. We study in detail the…
The strong coupling effect in the (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED_3) description of the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet is studied in terms of a canonical transformation which has been used in the small polaron theory in…
Randomly diluted quantum boson and spin models in two dimensions combine the physics of classical percolation with the well-known dimensionality dependence of ordering in quantum lattice models. This combination is rather subtle for models…
We examine anomalous dimensions of higher spin currents in the critical O(N) scalar model and the Gross-Neveu model in arbitrary d dimensions. These two models are proposed to be dual to the type A and type B Vasiliev theories,…
A simple ansatz is suggested for the structure of threshold resummation of the momentum space physical evolution kernels (`physical anomalous dimensions') at all orders in (1-x), taking as examples Deep Inelastic Scattering (F_2(x, Q^2) and…
We study the large $N$ 't Hooft expansion of the partition function of 2d $U(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a torus. We compute the $1/N$ genus expansion of both the chiral and the full partition function of 2d Yang-Mills using the recursion…
