In this short note we collect together known results on the use of Random Matrix Theory in lattice statistical mechanics. The purpose here is two fold. Firstly the RMT analysis provides an intrinsic characterization of integrability, and…
We develop the exact renormalization group approach as a way to evaluate the effective speed of propagation of a scalar wave in a medium with random inhomogeneities. We use the Martin-Siggia-Rose formalism to translate the problem into a…
Recently-generated long strong-coupling series for the two-point Green's functions of asymptotically free ${\rm O}(N)$ lattice $\sigma$ models are analyzed, focusing on the evaluation of dimensionless renormalization-group invariant ratios…
In this paper, we study two-loop contribution to the effective action of a two-dimensional sigma model. We derive a new formula, which can be applicable to a regularization of general type. As examples, we obtain known results for…
Consider semiparametric estimation where a doubly robust estimating function for a low-dimensional parameter is available, depending on two working models. With high-dimensional data, we develop regularized calibrated estimation as a…
The renormalization group is used to resum leading logarithmic contributions of the form alpha_s^{n+1} beta_0^n log^n (Delta/mu) to the gap equation appropriate for high density QCD. The scale dependence of the strong coupling constant…
This Chapter outlines the replica approach in Random Matrix Theory. Both fermionic and bosonic versions of the replica limit are introduced and its trickery is discussed. A brief overview of early heuristic treatments of zero-dimensional…
In these lectures, we discuss different types of renormalization problems in QCD and their non-perturbative solution in the framework of the lattice formulation. In particular the recursive finite size methods to compute the…
A recent extension of a variationally optimized perturbation, combined with renormalization group properties in a straightforward way, can provide approximations to nonperturbative quantities such as the chiral symmetry breaking order…
We compute the ratio Lambda_L/Lambda_MS, where the scale parameter Lambda_L is associated with a lattice formulation of QCD. We consider a 3-parameter family of gluon actions, which are most frequently used for O(a) improvement a` la…
Modern technologies are producing a wealth of data with complex structures. For instance, in two-dimensional digital imaging, flow cytometry, and electroencephalography, matrix type covariates frequently arise when measurements are obtained…
After reviewing how the renormalization group equation can be used to sum logarithmic corrections to the decay rate for the semi-leptonic process b->u when using minimal subtraction, we consider renormalization scheme dependence for this…
We present a technique to study normalizing strategies when termination is asymptotic, that is, it appears as a limit, as opposite to reaching a normal form in a finite number of steps. Asymptotic termination occurs in several settings,…
The renormalized coupling $\gr$ defined through the connected 4-point function at zero external momentum in the non-linear O(3) sigma-model in two dimensions, is computed in the continuum form factor bootstrap approach with estimated error…
In lattice Hamiltonian systems with a quartic coupling $\gamma$, a critical value $\gamma^*$ may exist such that, when $\gamma=\gamma^*$, the leading irrelevant operator decouples from the Hamiltonian and the leading nonscaling contribution…
Anomalies are a powerful way to gain insight into possible lattice regularizations of a quantum field theory. In this work, we argue that the continuum anomaly for a given symmetry can be matched by a manifestly-symmetric, local, lattice…
We address the question as to why, in the semiclassical limit, classically chaotic systems generically exhibit universal quantum spectral statistics coincident with those of Random Matrix Theory. To do so, we use a semiclassical resummation…
The paper concerns lattice triangulations, that is, triangulations of the integer points in a polygon in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose vertices are also integer points. Lattice triangulations have been studied extensively both as geometric objects…
A lattice formulation of the $O(1,2)/O(2)\times Z_2$ sigma model is developed, based on the continuum theory presented in the preceding paper. Special attention is given to choosing a lattice action (the ``geodesic'' action) that is…
We introduce a concept for random tilings which, comprising the conventional one, is also applicable to tiling ensembles without height representation. In particular, we focus on the random tiling entropy as a function of the tile…
