We investigate the properties of the renormalisation group (RG) flow of two-dimensional sigma models with a generic metric coupling by utilising known results for the Ricci flow. We point out that on many occasions the RG flow develops…
We find a new solution of the renormalization group for the Potts model with ferromagnetic random valued coupling constants. The solution exhibits universality and broken replica symmetry. It is argued that the model reaches this…
We study the two-dimensional version of a quartic self-interacting quantum scalar field on a curved and noncommutative space (Snyder-de Sitter). We show that the model is renormalizable at the one-loop level and compute the beta functions…
The renormalization of higher-dimensional operators in quantum field theory is essential for phenomenological analyses in particle physics, and plays a significant role in the study of critical phenomena. We present a framework for…
We compute the two-loop renormalization group equations for all soft supersymmetry-breaking couplings in a general softly broken N=1 supersymmetric model. We also specialize these results to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
Two-dimensional sigma models in curved target spaces are considered in which a relationship between the warp factor and the dilaton is imposed in a renormalization group invariant way.
We investigate Poisson-Lie symmetry for T-dual sigma models on supermanifolds in general and on Lie supergroups in particular. We show that the integrability condition on this super Poisson-Lie symmetry is equivalent to the super Jacobi…
A recently proposed renormalization group technique, based on the hierarchical structures present in theories with fluctuating geometry, is implemented in the model of branched polymers. The renormalization group equations can be solved…

We study the one-loop renormalisation of 4d SU(N) Yang-Mills theory with $M$ adjoint representation scalar multiplets. We calculate the coupled one-loop renormalization group flows for this theory by developing an algebraic description,…
Explicit two-loop calculations in noncommutative $\phi^4_4$ theory are presented. It is shown that the model is two-loop renormalizable.
The account of the Poisson-Lie T-duality is presented for the case when the action of the duality group on a target is not free. At the same time a generalization of the picture is given when the duality group does not even act on…
We review some facts about various T-dualities and sigma models on group manifolds, with particular emphasis on supersymmetry. We point out some of the problems in reconciling Poisson-Lie duality with the bi-hermitean geometry of N=2…
Recent work has shown that two-dimensional non-linear $\sigma$-models on group manifolds with Poisson-Lie symmetry can be understood within generalised geometry as exemplars of generalised parallelisable spaces. Here we extend this idea to…
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…
We present a simple, new method for the 1-loop renormalization of integrable $\sigma$-models. By treating equations of motion and Bianchi identities on an equal footing, we derive 'universal' formulae for the 1-loop on-shell divergences,…
We construct a superpotential for the general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter in the fundamental and adjoint representations, and investigate the one-loop renormalisability of the theories.
Classically integrable $\sigma$-models are known to be solutions of the 1-loop RG equations, or "Ricci flow", with only a few couplings running. In some of the simplest examples of integrable deformations we find that in order to preserve…
In the past few years, the unifying frameworks of 4-dimensional Chern-Simons theory and affine Gaudin models have allowed for the systematic construction of a large family of integrable $\sigma$-models. These models depend on the data of a…
The possible local counterterms to supergravity are investigated to all loop orders. Supersymmetry implies that (1) supergravity-matter coupling is one-loop nonrenormalizable, with a specific counterterm; (2) pure supergravity is…
