By means of the Lee-Shrock transformation we generalize the 2D Gross-Neveu (GN$_2$) model to a U(1) gauge theory with charged fermion and scalar fields in 2D ($\chi U \phi_2$ model). The $\chi U \phi_2$ model is equivalent to the GN$_2$…

We use the Grassmann tensor renormalization group method to investigate the $N_f=2$ Schwinger model with the staggered fermions in the presence of a $2\pi$ periodic $\theta$ term in a broad range of mass. The method allows us to deal with…
A manifestly gauge invariant and regularized renormalization group flow equation is constructed for pure SU(N) gauge theory in the large N limit. In this way we make precise and concrete the notion of a non-perturbative gauge invariant…
We study grand unified models in the five-dimensional space-time where the extra dimension is compactified on $S^1/Z_2$. The spontaneous breaking of unified gauge symmetries is achieved via vacuum expectation values of the extra-dimensional…
We study a particular class of Abelian gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models with global U_L(N)xU_R(N) symmetry, where N is the number of fermion flavors. We show, by treating the gauge interaction in the ladder approximation and four-fermion…
We study the chiral phase transition for vector-like SU(N) gauge theories as a function of the number of quark flavors N_f by making use of an anomaly-induced effective potential. We modify an effective potential of a previous work,…
A new class of renormalizable gauges is introduced that is particularly well suited to compute effective potentials in spontaneously broken gauge theories. It allows one to keep free gauge parameters when computing the effective potential…
We study the effective potential of three-dimensional O($N$) models. In statistical physics the effective potential represents the free-energy density as a function of the order parameter (Helmholtz free energy), and, therefore, it is…
We calculate the free energies $F$ for $U(1)$ gauge theories on the $d$ dimensional sphere of radius $R$. For the theory with free Maxwell action we find the exact result as a function of $d$; it contains the term $\frac{d-4}{2} \log R$…

The conventional model of the gauge vector field is invariant under the local conformal symmetry only in the four-dimensional space ($4d$). Conformal generalization to an arbitrary dimension $d$ is impossible even for the free theory,…
