This paper leads with a random polymer model in $\Z^2$ having long-range self-repulsive interactions. By comparison with a long range one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model we shown that the polymer models we considered here undergo a…

We develop a general framework for pathwise stochastic integration that extends F\"ollmer's classical approach beyond gradient-type integrands and standard left-point Riemann sums and provides pathwise counterparts of It\^o, Stratonovich,…

We analyze the large-order behavior of the perturbative weak-field expansion of the effective Lagrangian density of a massive scalar in de Sitter and anti de Sitter space, and show that this perturbative information is not sufficient to…

We analyse the nature of the confinement of an infinitely long (and finite) linear semiflexible homo-polymer chain confined in between two geometrical constraints (A&B) under good solvent condition in two dimensions. The constraints are…

We study the crystalline phase of the $O(2N)$ Gross--Neveu model with a chemical potential for $a \leq N-2$ of the fermions. We analyze the problem in three independent ways: using perturbative QFT methods, a semiclassical large $N$…

We present the exact solutions of various directed walk models of polymers confined to a slit and interacting with the walls of the slit via an attractive potential. We consider three geometric constraints on the ends of the polymer and…

In rigidly supersymmetric quantum theories, the Nicolai map allows one to turn on a coupling constant (from zero to a finite value) by keeping the (free) functional integration measure but subjecting the fields to a particular nonlocal and…

Many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) is widely used in quantum physics, chemistry, and materials science. At the heart of MBPT is the Feynman diagrammatic expansion, which is, simply speaking, an elegant way of organizing the…

We consider disordered pinning models, when the return time distribution of the underlying renewal process has a polynomial tail with exponent $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$. This corresponds to a regime where disorder is known to be relevant, i.e.…
