We study a three dimensional conformal field theory in terms of its partition function on arbitrary curved spaces. The large $N$ limit of the nonlinear sigma model at the non-trivial fixed point is shown to be an example of a conformal…
Three related analyses of $\phi^4$ theory with $O(N)$ symmetry are presented. In the first, we review the $O(N)$ model over the $p$-adic numbers and the discrete renormalization group transformations which can be understood as spin blocking…
A self-consistent treatment of two and three point functions in models with trilinear interactions forces them to have opposite anomalous dimensions. We indicate how the anomalous dimension can be extracted nonperturbatively by solving and…
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…
Non-Fermi liquids in $d>2$ remain poorly understood, particularly when relevant perturbations destabilize them. In one spatial dimension, chirally stabilized fixed points provide a rare class of analytically tractable non-Fermi-liquid…
We explore the dynamics of a simple class of two-dimensional models with $(0,1)$ supersymmetry, namely sigma-models with target $S^3$ and the minimal possible set of fields. For any nonzero value of the Wess--Zumino coupling $k$, we…
This is a lecture note on the renormalization group theory for field theory models based on the dimensional regularization method. We discuss the renormalization group approach to fundamental field theoretic models in low dimensions. We…
The renormalization group flow of an integrable two dimensional quantum field theory which contains unstable particles is investigated. The analysis is carried out for the Virasoro central charge and the conformal dimensions as a function…
We construct examples of non-invertible global symmetries in two-dimensional superconformal field theories described by sigma models into Calabi-Yau target spaces. Our construction provides some of the first examples of non-invertible…
In a conformal field theory with weakly broken higher spin symmetry, the leading order anomalous dimensions of the broken currents can be efficiently determined from the structure of the classical non-conservation equations. We apply this…
We analyse the global symmetry structure of two-dimensional Non-Linear Sigma Models with Wess-Zumino term. When the target space has a compact isometry without fixed points, the theory has a pair of (group-like) global symmetries and many…
The renormalized trajectory in the multi-dimensional coupling parameter space of the two-dimensional O(3) non-linear sigma model is determined numerically under \linebreak $\delta$-function block spin transformations using two different…
We discuss two classes of exact (in $\a'$) string solutions described by conformal sigma models. They can be viewed as two possibilities of constructing a conformal model out of the non-conformal one based on the metric of a $D$-dimensional…
We study the Principal Chiral Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson model around two dimensions within the Local Potential Approximation of an Exact Renormalization Group equation. This model, relevant for the long distance physics of classical frustrated…
We consider scalar field theory in the D-dimensional space with nontrivial metric and local action functional of most general form. It is possible to construct for this model a generalization of renormalization procedure and RG-equations.…
To study asymptotic structures, we regularize Einstein's field equations by means of conformal transformations. The conformal factor is chosen so that it carries a dimensional scale that captures crucial asymptotic features. By choosing a…
The compatibility between the conformal symmetry and the closure of conformal algebras is discussed on the nonlinear sigma model. The present approach, above the basis of field redefinition employed in the Hamiltonian scheme, attempts the…
We introduce a Hamiltonian coupled between a normal Fermi surface and a polarized Maxwell type gauge field.We adopt a {\it calibrated scaling } approach in order to be consistent with the results obtained at $2+1$ dimensions as well as the…
Motivated by the recent interest in the criticality of open quantum many-body systems, we study nonlinear sigma models with complexified couplings as a general framework for nonunitary field theory. Applying the perturbative…
We investigate the renormalization group flows and fixed point structure of many coupled minimal models. The models are coupled two by two by energy-energy couplings. We take the general approach where the bare couplings are all taken to be…
