We consider the domain wall in the (2+1)-dimensional $\phi^4$ double well model, created by extending the $\phi^4$ kink in an additional infinite direction. Classically, the tension is $m^3/3\lambda$ where $\lambda$ is the coupling and $m$…
We calculate the one-loop tension of the domain wall soliton in the $\phi^4$ double-well model. Our result agrees with previous results from Dashen, Hasslacher and Neveu (1974) in 1+1d and Jaimunga, Semenoff and Zarembo (1999) in 2+1d.…
The one-loop tension of the domain wall in the 3+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ double-well model was derived long ago using dimensional regularization. The methods used can only be applied to solitons depending on a single dimension. In the past…
Coupled double well (phi4) one-dimensional potentials abound in both condensed matter physics and field theory. Here we provide an exhaustive set of exact periodic solutions of a coupled $\phi^4$ model in an external field in terms of…

We study the noncommutative $\phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction…
We construct a set of exact ground states with a localized ferromagnetic domain wall and an extended spiral structure in a quasi-one-dimensional deformed flat-band Hubbard model. In the case of quarter filling, we show the uniqueness of the…
We consider a planar gravitating thick domain wall of the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory as a spacetime with finite thickness glued to two vacuum spacetimes on each side of it. Darmois junction conditions written on the boundaries of the thick…
Domain walls can be formed in superconductors with a discrete degeneracy of the ground state, for instance, due to the breaking of time reversal symmetry. We study all cases where the formation of domain walls is possible in a tetragonal…
The next to the leading order Casimir effect for a real scalar field, within $\phi^4$ theory, confined between two parallel plates is calculated in one spatial dimension. Here we use the Green's function with the Dirichlet boundary…
We discuss the renormalizability of Phi-derivable approximations in scalar phi^4 theory in four dimensions. The formalism leads to self-consistent equations for the 2-point and the 4-point functions which are plagued by ultraviolet…
Renormalization Group domain walls are natural conformal interfaces between two CFTs related by an RG flow. The RG domain wall gives an exact relation between the operators in the UV and IR CFTs. We propose an explicit algebraic…
We derive several results concerning non-perturbative renormalization in the spherical field formalism. Using a small set of local counterterms, we are able to remove all ultraviolet divergences in a manner such that the renormalized theory…
As a first application of our renormalisation group approach to non-local matrix models [hep-th/0305066], we prove (super-)renormalisability of Euclidean two-dimensional noncommutative \phi^4-theory. It is widely believed that this model is…
Perturbation theory of a large class of scalar field theories in $d<4$ can be shown to be Borel resummable using arguments based on Lefschetz thimbles. As an example we study in detail the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory in two dimensions in the…
According to recent results, the Gell-Mann - Low function \beta(g) of four-dimensional \phi^4 theory is non-alternating and has a linear asymptotics at infinity. According to the Bogoliubov and Shirkov classification, it means possibility…
Finite volume renormalization scheme is one of the most fascinating scheme for non-perturbative renormalization on lattice. By using the step scaling function one can follow running of renormalized quantities with reasonable cost. It has…

We demonstrate that the UV/IR mixing problems found recently for a scalar $\phi^4$ theory on the fuzzy sphere are localized to tadpole diagrams and can be overcome by a suitable modification of the action. This modification is equivalent to…
We show that large-$N$ $\phi ^4$ theory is not trivial if one accepts the presence of a tachyon with a truly huge mass, and that it allows exact calculation. We use it to illustrate how to calculate the exact resummed pressure at finite…
