Recent interest in large N matrix models in the double scaling limit raised new interest also in O(N) vector models. The limit $N \rightarrow \infty$, correlated with the limit $g \rightarrow g_c$, results in an expansion in terms of…

The linear O($N$) sigma model undergoes a symmetry restoring phase transition at finite temperature. We show that the nonlinear O($N$) sigma model also undergoes a symmetry restoring phase transition; the critical temperatures are the same…

We show there exist UV-complete field-theoretic models in general dimension, including $2+1$, with the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry, which persists to the arbitrarily high temperatures. Our example is a conformal vector model…

We study the $O(N)$ vector model for scalars with quartic interaction at large $N$ on $S^1\times S^2$ without the singlet constraint. The non-trivial fixed point of the model is described by a thermal mass satisfying the gap equation at…

We present a method for simulating relativistic and nonrelativistic scalar field theories at finite density, with matter transforming in the fundamental representation of the global symmetry group O(N). The method avoids the problem of…

$O(N)$ invariant vector models have been shown to possess non-trivial scaling large $N$ limits, at least perturbatively within the loop expansion, a property they share with matrix models of 2D quantum gravity. In contrast with matrix…

We investigate finite-temperature observables in three-dimensional large $N$ critical vector models taking into account the effects suppressed by $1\over N$. Such subleading contributions are captured by the fluctuations of the…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist at all temperatures in certain biconical $\mathrm{O}(N)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ vector models when the underlying field theories are ultraviolet complete. So far, the existence of such theories has been…

We study the thermal properties of the O(N) vector-like scalar theory in the singlet sector in 2+1 dimensions. This theory is conjectured to be the AdS/CFT dual of Vasiliev higher spin gravity. We find that a large N transition occurs but…

We examine the thermal behavior of a theory with charged massive vector matter coupled to Chern-Simons gauge field. We obtain a critical temperature Tc, at which the effective mass of vector field vanishes, and the system transfers from a…

Dimensional reduction of high temperature field theories improves IR features of their perturbative treatment. A crucial question is, what three-dimensional theory is representing the full system the most faithful way. Careful investigation…

The critical properties of renormalizable O(N) field models are determined by means of the high order ($\geq 18$) behaviour of convergent linked cluster series on finite temperature lattices. It is shown that those models become weakly…

In this paper we consider matrix and vector models in the large N limit ($N \times N$ matrices and vectors with N^{2} components). For the case of zero-dimensional model (D=0) it is proved that in the strong coupling limit $g \to \infty$…
