The recent discovery of extraordinary-log universality has generated intense interest in classical and quantum boundary critical phenomena. Despite tremendous efforts, the existence of quantum extraordinary-log universality remains…
In the nonlinear O(N) sigma model at N=3 unexpected cutoff effects have been found before with standard discretizations and lattice spacings. Here the situation is analyzed further employing additional data for the step scaling function of…
The study of extremal problems on triangle areas was initiated in a series of papers by Erd\H{o}s and Purdy in the early 1970s. In this paper we present new results on such problems, concerning the number of triangles of the same area that…
We study the boundary critical behavior of the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class, in the presence of a bidimensional surface. By means of high-precision Monte Carlo simulations of an improved lattice model, where leading bulk…

We study the O($N$)$^*$ transitions that occur in the 3D $\mathbb{Z}_2$-gauge $N$-vector model, and the analogous Ising$^*$ transitions occurring in the 3D $\mathbb{Z}_2$-gauge Higgs model, corresponding to an $N$-vector model with $N=1$.…
The multicritical points of the $O(N)$ invariant $N$ vector model in the large $N$ limit are reexamined. Of particular interest are the subtleties involved in the stability of the phase structure at critical dimensions. In the limit $N \to…

The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Somewhat less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear…
In the $n$-body problem, when bodies tend to a total collision, then its normalized shape curve converges to the set of normalized central configurations, which has $SO(3)$ symmetry in the planar case. This leaves a possibility that the…
The space of solutions of the exact renormalization group fixed point equations of the two-dimensional $RP^{N-1}$ model, which we recently obtained within the scale invariant scattering framework, is explored for continuous values of $N\geq…

Gauged N=8 supergravity in four dimensions is now known to admit a deformation characterized by a real parameter $\omega$ lying in the interval $0\le\omega\le \pi/8$. We analyse the fluctuations about its anti-de Sitter vacuum, and show…

Critical exponents for the 3D O(n)-symmetric model with n > 3 are estimated on the base of six-loop renormalization-group (RG) expansions. A simple Pade-Borel technique is used for the resummation of the RG series and the Pade approximants…
