The perturbative $\beta$-function is known exactly in a number of supersymmetric theories and in the 't Hooft renormalization scheme in the $\phi_4^4$ model. It is shown how this allows one to compute the effective action exactly for…
We consider two dimensional non linear sigma models on few symmetric superspaces, which are supergroup manifolds of coset type. For those spaces where one loop beta function vanishes, two loop beta function is calculated and is shown to be…
In this paper, we study the RG flow in the non-linear sigma models obtained from a 2d N=(0,2) supersymmetric QCD. The sigma model is parameterized by a single Kahler modulus. We determine its exact non-perturbative beta function using…
We study the role of categorical symmetries in constraining the renormalisation of couplings in two-dimensional non-linear sigma models with Wess-Zumino term. A large class of these theories admit self-duality symmetries associated with…
Approximated functional renormalization group (FRG) equations lead to regulator-dependent $\beta$-functions, in analogy to the scheme-dependence of the perturbative renormalization group (pRG) approach. A scheme transformation redefines the…
We examine a class of gauge theories obtained by projecting out certain fields from an N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory. These theories are non-supersymmetric and in the large N limit are known to be conformal. Recently it was proposed…
We investigate the connection between the NSVZ and the DRED forms of the gauge $\beta$-function in an $N=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory. We construct a coupling constant redefinition that relates the two forms up to four loops. By abelian…
For a general ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory regularized by higher covariant derivatives we prove in all orders that the $\beta$-function defined in terms of the bare couplings is given by integrals of double total derivatives…
We take the manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalisation group previously used to compute the one-loop beta function in SU(N) Yang-Mills without gauge fixing, and generalise it so that it can be renormalised straightforwardly at any…
We consider a one-loop finite ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric theory in such a renormalization scheme that the first $L$ contributions to the gauge $\beta$-function and the first $(L-1)$ contributions to the anomalous dimension of the matter…
The requirement that duality and renormalization group transformations commute as motions in the space of a theory has recently been explored to extract information about the renormalization flows in different statistical and field…
Since three-loop and higher-loop terms in the $\beta$ function of a gauge theory are scheme-dependent, one can, at least for sufficiently small coupling, carry out a scheme transformation that removes these terms. A basic question concerns…
We compute the three loop $\beta$ function of the Wess-Zumino model to motivate implicit regularization (IR) as a consistent and practical momentum-space framework to study supersymmetric quantum field theories. In this framework which…
Two renormalization group invariant quantities in quantum chromodinamics (QCD), defined in Euclidean space,namely, Adler D-function of electron-positron annihilation to hadrons and Bjorken polarized deep-inelastic scattering sum rule, are…
Invariance of the effective action under changes of the renormalization scale $\mu$ leads to relations between those (presumably calculated) terms independent of $\mu$ at a given order of perturbation theory and those higher order terms…
We include spontaneous symmetry breaking into the functional renormalization group (RG) equations for the irreducible vertices of Ginzburg-Landau theories by augmenting these equations by a flow equation for the order parameter, which is…
Motivated by the discovery of errors in six of the 135 diagrams in the published five-loop expansions of the $\beta$-function and the anomalous dimensions of the ${O}(n)$-symmetric $\phi^4$-theory in $D=4-\ep$ dimensions we present the…
We explain that the supersymmetric $CP^{n-1}$ sigma model is directly related to the level-zero chiral Gross-Neveu (cGN) model. In particular, beta functions of the two theories should coincide. This is consistent with the…
We renormalize the Wess-Zumino model at five loops in both the minimal subtraction (MSbar) and momentum subtraction (MOM) schemes. The calculation is carried out automatically using a routine that performs the D-algebra. Generalizations of…
In completely generic four-dimensional gauge-Yukawa theories, the renormalization group $ \beta $-functions are known to the 3-2-2 loop order in gauge, Yukawa, and quartic couplings, respectively. It does, however, remain difficult to apply…
