We study the $\beta, N$ critical behaviour of non compact QED with $N$ species of light fermions, using a method we have proposed for unquenched simulations. We find that there exist two phase transition lines: one, second order, and the…
Leading order gravitational corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action can lead to a consistent picture of the universe by unifying the epochs of inflation and dark energy in a single framework. While the leading local correction induces an…

Loop corrections to the gravitational potential are usually inferred from scattering amplitudes, which seems quite different from how the linearized Einstein equations are solved with a static, point mass to give the classical potential. In…
