N=1 super Liouville field theory is one of the simplest non-rational conformal field theories. It possesses various important extensions and interesting applications, e.g. to the AGT relation with 4D gauge theory or the construction of the…
The `triviality' of $\Phi^4_4$ has been traditionally interpreted within perturbation theory where the prediction for the Higgs boson mass depends on the magnitude of the ultraviolet cutoff $\Lambda$. This approach crucially assumes that…
Quantum electrodynamics is considered to be a trivial theory. This is based on a number of evidences, both numerical and analytical. One of the strong indications for triviality of QED is the existence of the Landau pole for the running…
We argue that massless (lambda Phi^4)_4 is "trivial" without being entirely trivial. It has a non-trivial effective potential which leads to spontaneous symmetry breaking, but the particle excitations above the broken vacuum are…
The minimal $SO(5)/SO(4)$ sigma model is used as a template for the ultraviolet completion of scenarios in which the Higgs particle is a low-energy remnant of some high-energy dynamics, enjoying a (pseudo) Nambu-Goldstone boson ancestry.…
Field theory on a fuzzy noncommutative sphere can be considered as a particular matrix approximation of field theory on the standard commutative sphere. We investigate from this point of view the scalar $\phi^4$ theory. We demonstrate that…
Recently a model, which is equivalent to the scalar form of Gursey model, is shown to be a nontrivial field theoretical model when it is gauged with a SU(N) field. In this paper we study another model that is equivalent to the vector form…
It is often stated that the vacuum is trivial when light-front (null-plane) quantization is applied to a quantum field theory, in contrast to the situation with equal-time quantization. In fact, it is has long been known that the statement…
In order to explore a possible dynamical nature for the Higgs field (such as its being a pseudo-Goldstone boson) we develop a renormalizable Lagrangian based on the minimal $SO(5)$ linear $\sigma$-model with the symmetry softly broken to…
In this paper we construct the non-trivial, renormalized Hamiltonian for a class of spin-boson models with supercritical form factors, including the one describing the Weisskopf-Wigner spontaneous emission. The renormalization is performed…
The present paper, III, is the third part of a series of papers, under the global title "the non triviality of a $\Phi_4^4$ model". Parts I and II have been previously completed. In them thanks to the properties we dubbed "splitting -tree…
We consider $O(N)$-symmetric bosonic $\phi^4$ field theories above four dimensions, and propose a new reformulation in terms of an irreducible tensorial field with a cubic and Yukawa terms. The $\phi^4$ field theory so rewritten exhibits…
A scalar field theory with 4-derivative kinetic terms and 4-derivative cubic and quartic couplings is presented as a proxy for quantum quadratic gravity (QQG). The scalar theory is renormalizable and asymptotically free and the remaining…
We construct exact, regular and topologically non-trivial\ configurations of the coupled Einstein-nonlinear sigma model in (3+1) dimensions. The ansatz for the nonlinear $SU(2)$ field is regular everywhere and circumvents Derrick's theorem…
We propose to treat the $\phi^4$ Euclidean theory constructively in a simpler way. Our method, based on a new kind of "loop vertex expansion", no longer requires the painful intermediate tool of cluster and Mayer expansions.
The purpose of this work is to present some basic concepts about the non-linear sigma model in a simple and direct way. We start with showing the bosonic model and the Wess-Zumino-Witten term, making some comments about its topological…
In continuum field theory, it has been discussed that chiral gauge theories with Weyl fermions in anomalous gauge representations (anomalous gauge theories) can consistently be quantized, provided that some of gauge bosons are permitted to…
In recent papers it has been observed that non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, such as those describing $ig\phi^3$ and $-g\phi^4$ field theories, still possess real positive spectra so long as the weaker condition of ${\cal PT}$ symmetry holds.…
We define a finite size renormalization scheme for $\phi^4$ theory which in the thermodynamic limit reduces to the standard scheme used in the broken phase. We use it to re-investigate the question of triviality for the four dimensional…
The simplest non commutative renormalizable field theory, the $\phi_4$ model on four dimensional Moyal space with harmonic potential is asymptotically safe up to three loops, as shown by H. Grosse and R. Wulkenhaar, M. Disertori and V.…
