The real meaning of `triviality' of (lambda Phi^4)_4 theory is outlined. Assuming `triviality' leads to an effective potential that is just the classical potential plus the zero-point energy of the free-field fluctuations. This V_{eff}…
The classification of simple biset functors is known, but the evaluation of a simple biset functor at a finite group G may be zero. We investigate various situations where this happens, as well as cases where this does not occur. We also…

In an ungauged supergravity theory, the presence of a \emph{scalar potential} is allowed only for the minimal $\N=1$ case. In extended supergravities, a non-trivial scalar potential can be introduced without explicitly breaking…

We study here the unhindered gravitational collapse of spatially homogeneous (SH) scalar fields $\phi$ with a potential $V_{s}(\phi)$, as well as vector fields $\tilde{A}$ with a potential $V_{v}(B)$ where $B=g(\tilde{A},\tilde{A})$ and $g$…

We present the case of time-varying cosmological term $\Lambda(t)$. The main idea arises by proposing that as in the cosmological constant case, the scalar potential is identified as $ V(\phi)=2\Lambda$, with $\Lambda$ a constant, this…
Starting from the hypothesis of scaling solutions, the general exact form of the scalar field potential is found. In the case of two fluids, it turns out to be a negative power of hyperbolic sine. In the case of three fluids the analytic…
A procedure for solving the Maxwell equations in vacuum, under the additional requirement that both scalar invariants are equal to zero, is presented. Such a field is usually called a null electromagnetic field. Based on the complex Euler…
We derive a scalar potential in the recently proposed N=1 supersymmetric generalization of f(R) gravity in four space-time dimensions. Any such higher-derivative supergravity is classically equivalent to the standard N=1 supergravity…
We consider quantum gravitational corrections to Maxwell's equations on flat space background. Although the vacuum polarization is highly gauge dependent, we explicitly show that this gauge dependence is canceled by contributions from the…
By using the renormalization group (RG) equation it has proved possible to sum logarithmic corrections to quantities that arise due to quantum effects in field theories. In particular, the effective potential V in the Standard Model in the…
The energy levels of neutral atoms supported by Yukawa potential, $V(r)=-Z exp(-\alpha r)/r$, are studied, using both dimensional and dimensionless quantities, via a new analytical methodical proposal (devised to solve for nonexactly…
We review a system of autonomous differential equations developed in our previous work [1] describing a flat cosmology filled with a barotropic fluid and a scalar field with a modified kinetic term of the form L=F(X)-V(phi). We analyze the…
We consider gradient fields $(\phi_x:x\in \mathbb{Z}^d)$ whose law takes the Gibbs--Boltzmann form $Z^{-1}\exp\{-\sum_{< x,y>}V(\phi_y-\phi_x)\}$, where the sum runs over nearest neighbors. We assume that the potential $V$ admits the…
Cosmological solutions with a scalar field behaving as radiation are obtained, in the context of gravitational theory with dynamical time. The solution requires the spacial curvature of the universe k, to be zero, unlike the standard…
Roy's equations are used to check if scalar-isoscalar pi-pi amplitudes fitted to the ``up-flat'' and ``down-flat'' phase shift solutions fulfill crossing symmetry below 1 GeV. It is shown that the amplitude fitted to the ``down-flat''…
We construct a non-perturbative method to investigate the phase structure of the scalar theory at finite temperature. The derivative of the effective potential with respect to the mass square is expressed in terms of the full propagator.…
We consider the massless minimally coupled scalar field in the de Sitter ambient space formalism as a gauge potential or connection field. We construct the scalar gauge theory by helping an arbitrary constant five-vector field $B^\alpha$…
