When using dimensional regularization, the bare couplings are expressed as a power series in (2 - n/2)^{-1} where n is the number of dimensions. It is shown how the renormalization group can be used to sum the leading pole, next to leading…
The infinite reduction of couplings is a tool to consistently renormalize a wide class of non-renormalizable theories with a reduced, eventually finite, set of independent couplings, and classify the non-renormalizable interactions. Several…
For theories with multiple couplings we construct simple expressions for the four-dimensional (or, in general, integer-dimensional) renormalization constants assuming that all divergences are logarithmical. These expressions allow relating…
With the help of variational perturbation theory we continue the renormalization constants $\phi^4$-theories in $4- \epsilon$ dimensions to strong bare couplings $g_0$ and find their power behavior in $g_0$, thereby determining all critical…
We study the standard one-component $\varphi^4$-theory in four dimensions. A renormalized coupling is defined in a finite size renormalization scheme which becomes the standard scheme of the broken phase for large volumes. Numerical…
Starting from a well defined local Lagrangian, we analyze the renormalization group equations in terms of the two different arbitrary scales associated with the regularization procedure and with the physical renormalization of the bare…
We investigate heterotic ground states in four dimensions in which N=4 supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N=2. N=4 supersymmetry is restored at a decompactification limit corresponding to $m_{3/2}\to 0$. We calculate the full moduli…
We report thermodynamic values of four-point renormalized coupling constant calculated by Monte Carlo simulations in the continuum limits of the lattice versions of the two-dimensional O(2) and O(3) non-linear sigma models. In each case the…
The regularization scheme dependence of running couplings in extra compactified dimensions is discussed. We examine several regularization schemes explicitly in order to analyze the scheme dependence of the Kaluza-Klein threshold effects,…
We discuss the dependence of running couplings on the choice of regularization method in a general softly-broken N=1 supersymmetric theory. Regularization by dimensional reduction respects supersymmetry, but standard dimensional…
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…
We numerically reexamine the scaling behavior of period doublings in four-dimensional volume-preserving maps in order to resolve a discrepancy between numerical results on scaling of the coupling parameter and the approximate…
We consider a codimension two scalar theory with brane-localised Higgs type potential. The six-dimensional field has Dirichlet boundary condition on the bounds of the transverse compact space. The regularisation of the brane singularity…
We study the critical behavior of period doubling in two coupled one-dimensional maps with a single maximum of order $z$. In particurlar, the effect of the maximum-order $z$ on the critical behavior associated with coupling is investigated…
Polar coordinates are used for the complex scalar free field in D=4 dimensions. The resulting non renormalizable theory is healed by using a recently proposed symmetric subtraction procedure. The existence of the coordinates transformation…
We investigate warped compactification with an abelian gauge theory in six dimensions. The vanishing cosmological constant in four dimensions can generically be realized with a regular metric even in a 3-brane background without fine tuning…
The vanishing of the cosmological constant and absence of a massless dilaton might be explained by a duality between a supersymmetric string vacuum in three dimensions and a non-supersymmetric string vacuum in four dimensions.
We numerically study the scaling behavior of period doublings at the zero-coupling critical point in a four-dimensional volume-preserving map consisting of two coupled area-preserving maps. In order to see the fine structure of period…
Certain power-counting non-renormalizable theories, including the most general self-interacting scalar fields in four and three dimensions and fermions in two dimensions, have a simplified renormalization structure. For example, in…
The critical behavior for intermittency is studied in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of an approximate renormalization operator in the space of coupled maps. Each fixed map has a common relavant eigenvaule…
