We show the existence of a renormalizable local supersymmetry for the gauge fixed action of the four dimensional antisymmetric tensor field model in a curved background quantized in a generalized axial gauge. By using the technique of the…
We study the ultraviolet problem for models of a finite-dimensional quantum mechanical system linearly coupled to a bosonic quantum field, such as the (many-)spin boson model or its rotating-wave approximation. If the state change of the…
We discuss the ultraviolet finiteness of the two-dimensional BF model coupled to topological matter quantized in the axial gauge. This noncovariant gauge fixing avoids the infrared problem in the two-dimensional space-time. The BF model…
The structure of chiral symmetry restorations at finite temperature is thoroughly investigated in the supersymmetric Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a soft supersymmetry breaking term. It is found that the broken chiral symmetry at vanishing…
A proof of renormalizability of the theory of the dynamical non-Abelian two-form is given using the Zinn-Justin equation. Two previously unknown symmetries of the quantum action, different from the BRST symmetry, are needed for the proof.…
We initiate a systematic, non-perturbative study of the large-$N$ expansion in the two-dimensional $\text{SU}(N)\times \text{SU}(N)$ Principal Chiral Model (PCM). Starting with the known infinite-$N$ solution for the ground state at fixed…
We develop a general formalism to describe the Renormalization Group Flow of Schur indices and fusion algebras of BPS line defects in four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories. The formalism includes and extends…
We discuss how renormalisation group equations can be consistently formulated using the algebraic renormalisation framework, in the context of a dimensionally-renormalised chiral field theory in the BMHV scheme, where the BRST symmetry,…
Chiral bosons, or self-dual p-form fields, are ubiquitous in string theoretic contexts but are challenging to treat. Lagrangian constructions invariably introduce a complexity be it auxiliary fields or sacrificing Lorentz invariance. In…
This is a synopsis and extension of Phys.~Rev.~{\em D49} 5408 (1994). The Pseudodual Chiral Model illustrates 2-dimensional field theories which possess an infinite number of conservation laws but also allow particle production, at variance…
This is an expository account of Balaban's approach to the renormalization group. The method is illustrated with a treatment of the the ultraviolet problem for the scalar phi^4 model on a toroidal lattice in dimension d=3. This yields…
We study a two-dimensional exactly solvable non-Hermitian $PT-$non-symmetric quantum model with real spectrum, which is not amenable to separation of variables, by supersymmetrical methods. Here we focus attention on the property of…
Taking into account of the boundary condition in the fifth direction which is derived from the lattice Wilson fermion, we develop a theory of five-dimensional fermion with kink-like and homogeneous masses in finite extent of the fifth…
We present a non--perturbative study of the (1+1)--dimensional massless Thirring model by using path integral methods. The regularization ambiguities -coming from the computation of the fermionic determinant- allow to find new solution…
The renormalization of general gauge theories on flat and curved space-time backgrounds is considered within the Sp(2)-covariant quantization method. We assume the existence of a gauge-invariant and diffeomorphism invariant regularization.…
In this paper the complete geometrical setting of (lowest order) abelian T-duality is explored with the help of some new geometrical tools (the reduced formalism). In particular, all invariant polynomials (the integrands of the…

A purely algebraic method is devised in order to recover Slavnov-Taylor identities (STI), broken by intermediate renormalization. The counterterms are evaluated order by order in terms of finite amplitudes computed at zero external momenta.…
Non-perturbative renormalization group approach suggests that a large class of nonlinear sigma models are renormalizable in three dimensional space-time, while they are non-renormalizable in perturbation theory. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric…
