We demonstrate how one can construct renormalizable perturbative expansion in formally nonrenormalizable higher dimensional field theories. It is based on $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent perturbation theory in…
Using the parent Lagrangian approach we construct a dual formulation, in the sense originally proposed by Curtright and Freund, of a massive spin two Fierz-Pauli theory in arbitrary dimensions $D$. This is achieved in terms of a mixed…
We study the renormalization invariant trajectory of the $\phi^4$-perturbation of the free field fixed point in the hierarchical approximation. We parametrize it by a running $\phi^4$-coupling $g$ with linear step $\beta$-function. We…
We derive the quantum effective action up to second order in gradients and up to two-loop order for an interacting scalar field theory. This expansion of the effective action is useful to study problems in cosmological settings where…
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…
An important element in a model of non-singular string cosmology is a phase in which classical corrections saturate the growth of curvature in a deSitter-like phase with a linearly growing dilaton (an `algebraic fixed point'). As the form…
Recently it was shown that the scaling dimension of the operator $\phi^n$ in $\lambda(\bar\phi\phi)^2$ theory may be computed semiclassically at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\epsilon$, for generic values of $\lambda n$, and this…
Recently a novel perturbative continuum limit for quantum gravity has been proposed and demonstrated to work at first order. Every interaction monomial $\sigma$ is dressed with a coefficient function $f^\sigma_\Lambda(\varphi)$ of the…
When a set of charged or dyonic objects scatter and subsequently disperse, the process generically emits electromagnetic radiation. The classical soft photon theorem constrains the constant term and leading power-law fall-off of the emitted…
We work out the perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere starting from the semiclassical limit of a background generated by heavy charges. By solving perturbatively the Riemann-Hilbert problem for the Poincare'…
The standard lattice perturbation theory leads to the asymptotic series because of the incorrect interchange of the summation and integration. However, changing the initial approximation of the perturbation theory, one can generate the…
Finite element representations of Maxwell's equations pose unusual challenges inherent to the variational representation of the `curl-curl' equation for the fields. We present a variational formulation based on classical field theory.…
Thermalisation of configurations with initial white noise power spectrum is studied in numerical simulations of a classical one-component $\Phi^4$ theory in 2+1 dimensions, coupled to a small amplitude homogenous external field. The study…
In a previous work (N. H. Tong, Phys. Rev. B 92, 165126 (2015)), an equation-of-motion based series expansion formalism was used to do the second-order strong-coupling expansion for the single-particle Green function of the Anderson…
Reliable approximations for correlation functions at intermediate and strong coupling remain hard to obtain for general quantum field theories. Perturbative expansions are often asymptotic or have a finite radius of convergence, which…
Consider the Klein-Gordon equation coupled with an interaction term $(\Box+m^2)\phi+\lambda\psi^p$. For the linear Klein-Gordon equation, a kind of generalized Noether's theorem gives us a conserved quantity. The purpose of this paper is to…
We complete the formulation of a general framework for the analysis of high-order nonspherical perturbations of a four-dimensional spherical spacetime by including a gauge-invariant description of the perturbations. We present a general…
We present a new convergent strong coupling expansion for two-level atoms in external periodic fields, free of secular terms. As a first application, we show that the coherent destruction of tunnelling is a third-order effect. We also…
The light-front Hamiltonian formulation for the scalar field theory contains a new ingredient in the form of a constraint equation. Renormalization of the two dimensional $\phi^{4}$ theory, described in the continuum, is discussed. The mass…
The perturbation method is an approximation scheme with a solvable leading order. The standard way is to choose a non-interacting sector for the leading order. The adaptive perturbation method improves the solvable part by using all…
