We survey the current status of universality limits for $m$-point correlation functions in the bulk and at the edge for unitary ensembles, primarily when the limiting kernels are Airy, Bessel, or Sine kernels. In particular, we consider…
The general form of the stress-tensor three-point function in four dimensions is obtained by solving the Ward identities for the diffeomorphism and Weyl symmetries. Several properties of this correlator are discussed, such as the…
The 1/N expansion of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action is employed to compute universal properties at the second-order phase transition of an O(N)-symmetric N-vector model directly in three dimensions. At next-to-leading…
Using the exact renormalization group, it is shown that no physically acceptable non-trivial fixed points, with positive anomalous dimension, exist for (i) O(N) scalar field theory in four or more dimensions, (ii) non-compact, pure Abelian…
Theories with generalised conformal structure contain a dimensionful parameter, which appears as an overall multiplicative factor in the action. Examples of such theories are gauge theories coupled to massless scalars and fermions with…
We calculate perturbatively the multifractality spectrum of wave-functions in critical random matrix ensembles in the regime of weak multifractality. We show that in the leading order the spectrum is universal, while the higher order…
We address the critical and universal aspects of counterion-condensation transition at a single charged cylinder in both two and three spatial dimensions using numerical and analytical methods. By introducing a novel Monte-Carlo sampling…
We consider two-dimensional Ising models with randomly distributed ferromagnetic bonds and study the local critical behavior at defect lines by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Both for ladder and chain type defects, non-universal…
We study the Duffing equation and its generalizations with polynomial nonlinearities. Recently, we have demonstrated that metamorphoses of the amplitude response curves, computed by asymptotic methods in implicit form as $F\left( \Omega ,\…
The connection between renormalons and power corrections is investigated for the typical infrared renormalon integral assuming the effective coupling constant has an infrared fixed point of an entirely perturbative origin. It is shown that…
Using polynomial truncations of the Fourier transform of the RG transformation of Dyson's hierarchical model, we show that it is possible to calculate very accurately the renormalized quantities in the symmetric phase. Numerical results…
We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…
We consider $N$ two-dimensional Ising models coupled in presence of quenched disorder and use scale invariant scattering theory to exactly show the presence of a line of renormalization group fixed points for any fixed value of $N$ other…
We study the phase transition and the critical properties of a nonlinear P\'{o}lya urn, which is a simple binary stochastic process $X(t)\in \{0,1\},t=1,\cdots$ with a feedback mechanism. Let $f$ be a continuous function from the unit…
We calculate universal finite-size scaling functions for systems with an n-component order parameter and algebraically decaying interactions. Just as previously has been found for short-range interactions, this leads to a singular…
Operator product expansions are applied to dilaton-axion four-point functions. In the expansions of the bilocal fields $\tilde{\Phi}\tilde{\Phi}$, $\tilde{C}\tilde{C}$ and $\tilde{\Phi}\tilde{C}$, the conformal fields which are symmetric…
Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. Previous known results show that for any $N$-dimensional subspace of the space of continuous functions it is…
The spontaneous symmetry breaking associated to the tearing of a random surface, where large dynamical holes fill the surface, was recently analized obtaining a non-universal critical exponent on a border phase. Here the issue of…
Recent work on the use of dimensional reduction for the regularisation of non--supersymmetric theories is reviewed. It is then shown that there exists a class of theories for which a universal form of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms…
We discuss the non-perturbative aspect of zero dimensional superstring. The perturbative expansions of correlation functions diverge as $\sum_l(3l)!\kappa^{2l}$, where $\kappa$ is a string coupling constant. This implies there are…
