The main topic of these lecture notes is the continuum scaling limit of planar lattice models. One reason why this topic occupies an important place in the theory of probability and mathematical statistical physics is that scaling limits…
We describe the results of our recent work on the determination of the value of the parameter $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}^{(4)}$ and of the $Q^2$-dependence of the Gross--Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule from the experimental data of the CCFR…
We explore various tree-level double copy constructions for amplitudes including massive particles with spin. By working in general dimensions, we use that particles with spins $s\leq 2$ are fundamental to argue that the corresponding…
We point out the possibility that the magnitude of the bare gauge coupling constant is determined theoretically in a composite model of all particles in SUSY theories. We show explicitly in two space-time dimensions that the NL/L SUSY…
We make a detailed study of the unification of gauge couplings in the MSSM with large extra dimensions. We find some scenarios where unification can be achieved (with the strong coupling constant at the Z mass within one standard deviation…
When the $SU(N)$ ${\cal N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with complexified gauge coupling $\tau$ is placed on a round four-sphere and deformed by an ${\cal N} = 2$-preserving mass parameter $m$, its free energy $F(m, \tau, \bar \tau)$…
The Supercritical Fluid (SCF) is known to exhibit salient dynamic and thermodynamic crossovers and inhomogeneous molecular distribution. But the question as to what basic physics underlies these microscopic and macroscopic anomalies remains…
We use lattice formulation of $\phi^4$ theory in order to investigate non--perturbative features of its continuum limit in two dimensions. In particular, by means of Monte Carlo calculations, we obtain the critical coupling constant…
One possibility for Beyond Standard Model physics is a new strongly-interacting gauge theory. One way to determine if a non-abelian gauge theory is QCD-like or conformal is to measure the running of the renormalized gauge coupling. We…
We investigate matter couplings in massive bigravity. We find a new family of such consistent couplings, including and extending known consistent matter couplings, and we investigate their decoupling limits, ADM decompositions, Higuchi…
Using the Semple bundle construction, we derive an intersection-theoretic formula for the number of simultaneous contacts of specified orders between members of a generic family of degree $d$ plane curves and finitely many fixed curves. The…
Kenyon, Miller, Sheffield, and Wilson (2015) showed how to encode a random bipolar-oriented planar map by means of a random walk with a certain step size distribution. Using this encoding together with the mating-of-trees construction of…
We revisit the calculation of the six-gluon remainder function in planar $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory from the strong coupling TBA in the multi-Regge limit and identify an infinite set of kinematically subleading terms. These…
As an alternative to directly integrating their defining equations to find the running coupling $a(\mu)$ and the running mass $m(\mu)$, we expand these quantities in powers of $\ln\left(\frac{\mu}{\mu^\prime}\right)$ and their boundary…
The homology of GL_n(F) and SL_n(F) is studied, where F is an infinite field. Our main theorem states that the natural map H_4(GL_3(F), k) --> H_4(GL_4(F), k) is injective where k is a field with char(k) \neq 2, 3. For algebraically closed…
The recent LEP data for gauge coupling constants constrain many grand unified models. In this paper, we study several possibilities for unification of gauge coupling constants. Without an intermediate mass scale, the minimal supersymmetric…
SLE(kappa,rho) is a generalisation of Schramm-Loewner evolution which describes planar curves which are statistically self-similar but not conformally invariant in the strict sense. We show that, in the context of boundary conformal field…
A strongly polynomial sequence of graphs $(G_n)$ is a sequence $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of finite graphs such that, for every graph $F$, the number of homomorphisms from $F$ to $G_n$ is a fixed polynomial function of $n$ (depending on $F$).…
We apply a sum rule for the forward light-by-light scattering process within the context of the $\phi^4$ quantum field theory. As a consequence of the sum rule a stringent causality criterion is presented and the resulting constraints are…
We review, in a self-contained and pedagogical manner, recent developments and techniques for the evaluation of the scattering amplitudes of planar N=4 SYM theory at both weak and strong coupling. Special emphasis is placed on the newly…
