A scalar quantum field theory defined on a discrete spatial coordinate is examined. The renormalization of the lattice propagator is discussed with an emphasis on the periodic nature of the associated momentum coordinate. The analytic…
We review the use of an exact renormalization group equation in quantum field theory and statistical physics. It describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. Non-perturbative…
We consider a scalar $\phi^4$ theory on canonically deformed Euclidean space in 4 dimensions with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be renormalisable. An exterior gauge field is coupled in a gauge invariant manner…
Very high energy physics needs a coherent description of the four fundamental forces. Non-commutative geometry is a promising mathematical framework which already allowed to unify the general relativity and the standard model, at the…
As applied to quantum theories, the program of renormalization is successful for `renormalizable models' but fails for `nonrenormalizable models'. After some conceptual discussion and analysis, an enhanced program of renormalization is…
We address a detailed non-perturbative numerical study of the scalar theory on the fuzzy sphere. We use a novel algorithm which strongly reduces the correlation problems in the matrix update process, and allows the investigation of…
The properties of the phi^4 scalar field theory on a fuzzy sphere are studied numerically. The fuzzy sphere is a discretization of the sphere through matrices in which the symmetries of the space are preserved. This model presents three…
Quantum field theory has been shown recently renormalizable on flat Moyal space and better behaved than on ordinary space-time. Some models at least should be completely finite, even beyond perturbation theory. In this paper a first step is…
The autonomous renormalization of the O(N)-symmetric scalar theory is based on an infinite re-scaling of constant fields, whereas finite-momentum modes remain finite. The natural framework for a detailed analysis of this method is a system…
Quantum field theory currently has a single standard mathematical characterization (the Standard Model), but no single accepted conceptual framework to interpret the mathematics. Many of these conceptualizations rely on intuitive concepts…
The phenomena of emergent fuzzy geometry and noncommutative gauge theory from Yang-Mills matrix models is briefly reviewed. In particular, the eigenvalues distributions of Yang-Mills matrix models in lower dimensions in the commuting…
The relation between renormalization and short distance singular divergencies in quantum field theory is studied. As a consequence a finite theory is presented. It is shown that these divergencies are originated by the multiplication of…
The renormalization of the two dimensional light-front quantized $\phi^{4}$ theory is discussed. The mass renormalization condition and the renormalized constraint equation are shown to contain all the information to describe the phase…
An essential aspect of noncommutative field theories is their bilocal nature. This feature, and its role in the IR/UV mixing, are discussed using a canonical quantization procedure developed recently.
We describe a novel duality symmetry of Phi(4)-theory defined on noncommutative Euclidean space and with noncommuting momentum coordinates. This duality acts on the fields by Fourier transformation and scaling. It is an extension, to…
We review some aspects of non commutative quantum field theory and group field theory, in particular recent progress on the systematic study of the scaling and renormalization properties of group field theory. We thank G. Zoupanos and the…
We study the non-uniqueness of factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducibles) in noncommutative rings. To do so, we extend concepts from the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations to a noncommutative setting. Several…
I recall the main motivation to study quantum field theories on noncommutative spaces and comment on the most-studied example, the noncommutative R^4. That algebra is given by the *-product which can be written in (at least) two ways: in an…
The quantum discrete $\phi ^4$ model at finite temperature is studied in the mean-field approximation. The phase diagrams are obtained for a wide range of the model parameters. The domains of applicability for the classical, quantum, and…
