We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the O(N) model in classical and quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions, for N > 1. We compare numerical results obtained using the Hartree approximation and two next to leading order approximations,…
Nonequilibrium dynamics in quantum field theory has been studied extensively using truncations of the 2PI effective action. Both 1/N and loop expansions beyond leading order show remarkable improvement when compared to mean-field…

We consider an $O(N)$ scalar field model with quartic interaction in $d$-dimensional Euclidean de Sitter space. In order to avoid the problems of the standard perturbative calculations for light and massless fields, we generalize to the…
Various topics related to the $O(N)$ model in one spacetime dimension (i.e. ordinary quantum mechanics) are considered. The focus is on a pedagogical presentation of quantum field theory methods in a simpler context where many exact results…
We study a quantum dynamical system of N, O(N) symmetric, nonlinear oscillators as a toy model to investigate the systematics of a 1/N expansion. The closed time path (CTP) formalism melded with an expansion in 1/N is used to derive time…
A renormalization-group scheme is developed for the 3-dimensional O($2N$)-symmetric Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson model, which is consistent with the use of a 1/N expansion as a systematic method of approximation. It is motivated by an application…
In this work, we show that one can select different types of Hypergeometric approximants for the resummation of divergent series with different large-order growth factors. Being of $n!$ growth factor, the divergent series for the…
In the first part of this lecture, the 1/N expansion technique is illustrated for the case of the large-N sigma model. In large-N gauge theories, the 1/N expansion is tantamount to sorting the Feynman diagrams according to their degree of…
We show that the Pade Approximant (PA) approach for resummation of perturbative series in QCD provides a systematic method for approximating the flow of momentum in Feynman diagrams. In the large-$\beta_0$ limit, diagonal PA's generalize…
We improve the running times of $O(1)$-approximation algorithms for the set cover problem in geometric settings, specifically, covering points by disks in the plane, or covering points by halfspaces in three dimensions. In the unweighted…
Fault-tolerant quantum computing typically requires the transpilation of arbitrary quantum circuits into a finite, universal gate set, such as Clifford+T. As a baseline, Diagonal approximation can be used for synthesizing single-qubit Pauli…
We investigate the second-order von Neumann approach from a diagrammatic point-of-view and demonstrate its equivalence with the resonant tunneling approximation. Investigation of higher-order diagrams shows that the method correctly…
We study approximation algorithms for the following geometric version of the maximum coverage problem: Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $n$ weighted points in the plane. Let $D$ represent a planar object, such as a rectangle, or a disk. We…
Quasi-2D Coulomb systems are of fundamental importance and have attracted much attention in many areas nowadays. Their reduced symmetry gives rise to interesting collective behaviors, but also brings great challenges for particle-based…
An extensive number of numerical computations of energy 1/$N$ series using a recursive Taylor series method are presented in this paper. The series are computed to a high order of approximation and their behaviour on increasing the order of…
