We compute the one-loop effective action in \N=1 conformal SU(N) gauge theory which is an exactly marginal deformation of the \N=4 SYM theory. We consider an abelian background of constant \N = 1 gauge field and single chiral scalar. While…
The 1-loop effective potential in a scalar theory with quartic interaction on the space $M^{4} \times T^{n}$ for $n=2$ is calculated and is shown to be unbounded from below. This is an indication of a possible instability of the vacuum of…
The renormalization of quantum field theories usually assumes Lorentz and gauge symmetries, besides the general restrictions imposed by unitarity and causality. However, the set of renormalizable theories can be enlarged by relaxing some of…
We present a simple argument to show that the beta-function of the d-dimensional KPZ-equation (d>=2) is to all orders in perturbation theory given by beta(g) = (d-2) g - 2/(8 pi)^(d/2) Gamma(2-d/2) g^2 . Neither the dynamical exponent z nor…

We investigate whether the six-loop beta function of the $\lambda \phi^4_4$ theory exhibits evidence for an ultraviolet zero. As part of our analysis, we calculate and analyze Pad\'e approximants to this beta function. Extending our earlier…
We propose a roadmap for bootstrapping conformal field theories (CFTs) described by gauge theories in dimensions $d>2$. In particular, we provide a simple and workable answer to the question of how to detect the gauge group in the bootstrap…
Computing all divergent one-loop Green's functions of \theta-expanded noncommutative quantum electrodynamics up to first order in \theta, we show that this model is not renormalizable. The reason is a divergence in the electron four-point…
