We study a charged scalar field in a bulk 3+1 dimensional anti-deSitter spacetime with a planar black hole background metric. Through the AdS/CFT correspondence this is equivalent to a strongly coupled field theory in 2+1 dimensions…
We study the analytic properties of the 't Hooft coupling expansion of the beta-function at the leading nontrivial large-$N_f$ order for QED, QCD, Super QED and Super QCD. For each theory, the 't Hooft coupling expansion is convergent. We…
We show that a charged fluid endowed with an internal spin degree of freedom naturally satisfies the Pauli equation for a nonrelativistic spin-1/2 particle, and that a collection of n such interacting fluids can be reformulated as an Euler…
We argue that a consistent coupling of a quantum theory to gravity requires an extension of ordinary `first order' Riemannian geometry to second order Riemannian geometry, which incorporates both a line element and an area element. This…
In this contribution we consider the recent computation of the gauge coupling $\beta$-function at four loops and the Yukawa matrix $\beta$-function at three loops in the most general, renormalizable and four-dimensional quantum field…
Quantum chromodymamics (QCD) approach to the problem of multiplicity distributions in high energy particle collisions is described. The solutions of QCD equations for generating functions of the multiplicity distributions in gluon and quark…
Within the set of schemes defined by generalized, manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization groups for QED, it is argued that the beta-function in the four dimensional massless theory cannot possess any nonperturbative power…
Through appropriate projections of an exact renormalization group equation, we study fixed points, critical exponents and nontrivial renormalization group flows in scalar field theories in $2<d<4$. The standard upper critical dimensions…
A flow invariant in quantum field theory is a quantity that does not depend on the flow connecting the UV and IR conformal fixed points. We study the flow invariance of the most general sum rule with correlators of the trace Theta of the…
The radiative correction to beta function is comprehensively studied at 1 loop in the context of universal extra dimensions. Instead of using cutoffs to regularize 1-loop divergences, the dimensional regularization scheme is used. Large…
The properties of the new analytic running coupling are investigated at the higher loop levels. The expression for this invariant charge, independent of the normalization point, is obtained by invoking the asymptotic freedom condition. It…
Four-dimensional state space geometry is worked out for the exactly solved one-dimensional spin-3/2 lattice with a Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) Hamiltonian as well as a more general one with a term containing a non-zero field coupling to the…
Bounds on the expansion coefficients of the strangeness changing $K\pi$ form factors were derived recently from analyticity and unitarity, using as input suitable correlation functions calculated by perturbative QCD in the Euclidian region.…
We propose a model based on density functional theory (DFT) and quantum electrodynamics (QED) to study the dynamical characteristics of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). We assume the GQD edges are saturated with hydrogen atoms, effectively…
We consider quantum electrodynamics in noncommutative spacetime by deriving a $\theta$-exact Seiberg-Witten map with fermions in the fundamental representation of the gauge group as an expansion in the coupling constant. Accordingly, we…
Pade-approximant methods are used to extract information about leading positive zeros or poles of QCD and SQCD beta-functions from the known terms of their perturbative series. For QCD, such methods are seen to corroborate the…
We report on a result on quantum electrodynamics on a three dimensional Euclidean spacetime. The model is formulated on a toroidal lattice with unit volume and variable lattice spacing. The result is that the renormalized partition function…
We define functionals generalising the Seiberg-Witten functional on closed $spin^c$ manifolds, involving higher order derivatives of the curvature form and spinor field. We then consider their associated gradient flows and, using a gauge…
This work develops a framework to apply normalizing-flow transformations of field configurations for all-orders Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) corrections in lattice field theory. This opens a new possibility to determine all-order…
Various relations between conformal quantum field theories in one, two and four dimensions are explored. The intention is to obtain a better understanding of 4D CFT with the help of methods from lower dimensional CFT.
