It is well known that a minimal distance emerges in quantum field theories owing to the need to regularize the UV divergences. The macroscopical limit at large minimal distance, weak spatial resolution, is investigated for a self…
We study the renormalization problem for the Hartree--Fock approximation of the $O(N)-$invariant $\phi^4$ model in the symmetric phase and show how to systematically improve the corresponding diagrammatic resummation to achieve the correct…
As applied to quantum theories, the program of renormalization is successful for `renormalizable models' but fails for `nonrenormalizable models'. After some conceptual discussion and analysis, an enhanced program of renormalization is…
We continue our constructive study of tensor field theory through the next natural model, namely the rank four tensor theory with quartic melonic interactions and propagator inverse of the Laplacian on $U(1)^4$. This superrenormalizable…
We investigate fermionic quantum field theories using functional renormalisation. In the limit of many fermion flavours $N$, we demonstrate that theories have exact solutions for their quantum effective actions given by quasi-local…
Effective potential for scalar $\lambda\phi^4$ theory is obtained using the exact renormalization group method which includes both the usual one-loop contribution as well as the dominant higher loop effects. Our numerical calculation…
Four-fermi models in dimensionality $2<d<4$ exhibit an ultra-violet stable renormalization group fixed point at a strong value of the coupling constant where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. The resulting field theory describes…
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…
Perturbative renormalization provides the bedrock of understanding quantum field theories. In this work, I point out an alternative way of renormalizing quantum field theories, which is naturally encountered and well known for the case of…
Nonrenormalizable scalar fields, such as \varphi^4_n, n\ge5, require infinitely many distinct counter terms when perturbed about the free theory, and lead to free theories when defined as the continuum limit of a lattice regularized theory…
The paper studies the quantum action for the four-dimensional real $\phi^4$-theory in the case of a general formulation using the background field method. The three-loop renormalization is performed with the usage of a cutoff regularization…
We discuss the connection between the perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization and related conceptual issues in the few-nucleon sector of the low-energy effective field theory of the strong interactions. General arguments are…
A general method to build the entanglement renormalization (cMERA) for interacting quantum field theories is presented. We improve upon the well-known Gaussian formalism used in free theories through a class of variational non-Gaussian…
We review the techniques used to renormalize quantum field theories at several loop orders. This includes the techniques to systematically extract the infinities in a Feynman integral and the implementation of the algorithm within computer…
This is a lecture note on the renormalization group theory for field theory models based on the dimensional regularization method. We discuss the renormalization group approach to fundamental field theoretic models in low dimensions. We…
In this thesis the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) formalism is investigated with several applications, particular emphasis on renormalizability. In the O(N) symmetric scalar quantum field theory formulated with auxiliary fields it is…
A formal expansion for the Green's functions of an interacting quantum field theory in a parameter that somehow encodes its "distance" from the corresponding non-interacting one was introduced more than thirty years ago, and has been…
We revisit scalar $\phi^4$ theory and construct a reorganized perturbative expansion in which the kinetic operator, rather than the quartic interaction, is treated as the perturbation. Starting from the exactly solvable $0$-dimensional…
We show how to renormalize Phi-derivable approximations in a theory with a fermionic field coupled to a self-interacting scalar field through a Yukawa interaction. The nonperturbative renormalization concerns the self-interaction coupling…
We consider a massive scalar field living on the recently found exact quantum space-time corresponding to vacuum spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. The discreteness of the quantum space time naturally regularizes the scalar field,…
