We study the two-point correlation function in the model of branched polymers and its relation to the critical behaviour of the model. We show that the correlation function has a universal scaling form in the generic phase with the only…

N=2 supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions have been extensively studied in the last few years. Many of their properties can be determined along the whole renormalization group flow, like their coupling dependence and soliton…

While stretching of most polymer chains leads to rather featureless force-extension diagrams, some, notably DNA, exhibit non-trivial behavior with a distinct plateau region. Here we propose a unified theory that connects force-extension…

We show that, without any extra physical degree introduced, the Standard Model can be readily reformulated as a Double Field Theory. Consequently, the Standard Model can couple to an arbitrary stringy gravitational background in an…

This is a lecture note on the renormalization group theory for field theory models based on the dimensional regularization method. We discuss the renormalization group approach to fundamental field theoretic models in low dimensions. We…

Matrix models of 2D quantum gravity are either exactly solvable for matter of central charge $ c\leq 1, $ or not understood. It would be useful to devise an approximate scheme which would be reasonable for the known cases and could be…

It has long been known that particles with short-range repulsive interactions in spatial dimension d=1 form universal quantum liquids in the low density limit: all properties can be related to those of the spinless free Fermi gas. Previous…

We adopt a combination of analytical and numerical methods to study the renormalization group flow of the most general field theory with quartic interaction in $d=4-\epsilon$ with $N=3$ and $N=4$ scalars. For $N=3$, we find that it admits…

We develop a method to obtain the large N renormalization group flows for matrix models of 2 dimensional gravity plus branched polymers. This method gives precise results for the critical points and exponents for one matrix models. We show…
