Running couplings can be understood as arising from the spontaneous breaking of an exact scale invariance in appropriate effective theories with no dilatation anomaly. Any ordinary quantum field theory, even if it has massive fields, can be…
We consider the large order behavior of the perturbative expansion of the scalar $\varphi^4$ field theory in terms of a perturbative expansion around an instanton solution. We have computed the series of the free energy up to two-loop order…
We perform an analytical four loop calculation of exponent $z$ in model A of critical dynamics in $d=4-2\varepsilon$ dimensions. This is the first time such a large order of perturbation theory has been calculated analytically for models of…
In the recent years, field theory on non-commutative (NC) spaces has attracted a lot of attention. Most literature on this subject deals with perturbation theory, although the latter runs into grave problems beyond one loop. Here we present…
Scalar field theory at finite temperature is investigated via an improved renormalization group prescription which provides an effective resummation over all possible non-overlapping higher loop graphs. Explicit analyses for the lambda…
We calculate the four-point function in \lambda\phi^4 theory by using Krein regularization and compare our result, which is finite, with the usual result in \lambda\phi^4 theory. The effective coupling constant (\lambda_\mu) is also…
An algorithm is proposed for determining asymptotics of the sum of a perturbative series in the strong coupling limit using given values of the expansion coefficients. Operation of the algorithm is illustrated by test examples, method for…
A redesigned starting point for covariant \phi^4_n, n\ge 4, models is suggested that takes the form of an alternative lattice action and which may have the virtue of leading to a nontrivial quantum field theory in the continuum limit. The…
We present an overview of the different renormalization proofs of the non commutative $\phi_4^{\star 4}$ model. This paper is a contribution to the MemPhys project.
We propose a new renormalization scheme of the running coupling constant in general gauge theories using the Wilson loops. The renormalized coupling constant is obtained from the Creutz ratio in lattice simulations and the corresponding…
For a large class of field theories there exist portions of parameter space for which the loop expansion predicts increased symmetry breaking at high temperature. Even though this behavior would clearly have far reaching implications for…
The convergence properties of the resummed thermal perturbation series for the thermodynamic pressure are investigated by comparison with the exact results obtained in large-N phi^4 theory and possibilities for improvements are discussed.…
Techniques based on $n$-particle irreducible effective actions can be used to study systems where perturbation theory does not apply. The main advantage, relative to other non-perturbative continuum methods, is that the hierarchy of…
The general prescription for constructing the continuum limit of a field theory is explained using Wilson's renormalization group. We then formulate the renormalization group in perturbation theory and apply it to the four dimensional phi4…
We propose a new method to compute the running coupling constant of gauge theories on the lattice. We first give the definition of the running coupling in the new scheme using the Wilson loops in a finite volume, and explain how the running…
We develop a variational approximation to the entanglement entropy for scalar $\phi^4$ theory in 1+1, 2+1, and 3+1 dimensions, and then examine the entanglement entropy as a function of the coupling. We find that in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions,…
We study the critical behaviour of symmetric $\phi^4_4$ theory including irrelevant terms of the form $\phi^{4+2n}/\Lambda_0^{2n}$ in the bare action, where $\Lambda_0$ is the UV cutoff (corresponding e.g. to the inverse lattice spacing for…
In a previous work, we established perturbative renormalizability to all orders of the massive $\phi^4_4$-theory on a half-space also called the semi-infinite massive $\phi^4_4$-theory. Five counter-terms which are functions depending on…
The QCD analytic running coupling alpha_{an} which has no nonphysical singularities for all Q^2>0 is considered for the initial perturbation theory approximations up to four loop order. The finiteness of the analytic coupling at zero is…
The renormalization is investigated of one-loop quantum fluctuations around a constrained instanton in $\phi ^4$-theory with negative coupling. It is found that the constraint should be renormalized also. This indicates that in general only…
