Anomalous scaling problem in the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation is treated in the framework of the field theoretical approach, successfully applied earlier to the Kraichnan rapid advection model. Two cases of the space dimensions d=2 and…
The paper discusses nonlinear singular perturbations of delta type of the fractional Schr\"odinger equation $\imath\partial_t\psi=\left(-\triangle\right)^s\psi$, with $s\in(\frac{1}{2},1]$, in dimension one. Precisely, we investigate local…
These lectures on anomalies are relatively self-contained and intended for graduate students who are familiar with the basics of quantum field theory. We begin with several derivations of the abelian anomaly: anomalous transformation of the…
We study the problem of self-energy of pointlike charges in higher dimensional static spacetimes. Their energy, as a functional of the spacetime metric, is invariant under a specific continuous transformation of the metric. We show that the…
We calculate triangle anomalies for fermions with non-canonical scaling dimensions. The most well known example of such fermions (aka unfermions) occurs in Seiberg duality where the matching of anomalies (including mesinos with scaling…
We revisit the strong coupling limit of the cusp anomalous dimension in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. It is known that the strong coupling expansion is asymptotic and non-Borel summable. As a consequence, the cusp anomalous dimension…
We consider the scenario where in a five-dimensional theory, the extra spatial dimension has different scaling than the other four dimensions. We find background maximally symmetric solutions, when the bulk is filled with a cosmological…
We consider a $D$-dimensional cosmological model with a dilaton field and two $(D-d-1)$-form field strengths which have nonvanishing fluxes in extra dimensions. Exact solutions for the model with a certain set of couplings are obtained by…
In this contribution it is shown how closed formulas for anomalous dimensions of two classes of operators in N=4 SYM can be derived, either by investigating the numerics or on the basis of QCD-inspired assumptions. We discuss the case of…
We develop an efficient method for computing thermal partition functions of weakly coupled scalar fields in AdS. We consider quartic contact interactions and show how to evaluate the relevant two-loop vacuum diagrams without performing any…
Nonlinear sigma models with non-compact target space and non-amen-able symmetry group were introduced long ago in the study of disordered electron systems. They also occur in dimensionally reduced quantum gravity; recently they have been…
In this talk we present the result for the $n_f$ dependent piece of the three-loop cusp anomalous dimension in QCD. Remarkably, it is parametrized by the same simple functions appearing in analogous anomalous dimensions in ${\mathcal N}=4$…
We consider the problem of resumming the perturbative expansions for anomalous dimensions of low twist, non-BPS operators in four dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. The requirement of S-duality invariance imposes…
Theories with large mass anomalous dimensions ($\gamma_m$) have been extensively studied because of their deep consequences for models where the scalar bosons are composite. Large $\gamma_m$ values may appear when a non-Abelian gauge theory…
In this article we compute the anomalous dimensions for a class of operators, belonging to the SU(3) sector of the theory, that have a bare dimension of order N. For these operators the large N limit and the planar limit are distinct and…
The soft radiation emitted in jet cross sections can resolve the directions and colors of individual hard partons, leading to a complicated pattern of logarithmically enhanced terms in the perturbative series. Starting from a factorization…
We employ resurgent transseries as algebraic tools to investigate two self-consistent Dyson-Schwinger equations, one in Yukawa theory and one in quantum electrodynamics. After a brief but pedagogical review, we derive fixed point equations…
We study a class of two-point functions in a conformal field theory near a wedge. This is a set-up with two boundaries intersecting at an angle $\theta$. We compute it as a solution to the Dyson-Schwinger equation of motion for a quartic…
We determine the anomalous dimensions of baryon operators for the three color theory as function of the number of massless flavours within the conformal window to the maximum known order in perturbation theory. We show that the anomalous…
A Lorentz and gauge symmetry preserving regularization method has been proposed recently in 4 dimension based on Euclidean momentum cutoff. It is shown that the triangle anomaly can be calculated unambiguously with this new improved cutoff.…
