With the introduction of shadow fields, we demonstrate the renormalizability of the N=4 super-Yang--Mills theory in component formalism, independently of the choice of UV regularization. Remarkably, by using twisted representations, one…
Different models of field theories in two dimensions can be described by the action $Tr\int \vf F$. In the presence of a curved background, we construct a local supersymmetry-like transformations under which the action is invariant.…
We consider the problem of removing the divergences in an arbitrary gauge-field theory (possibly nonrenormalizable). We show that this can be achieved by performing, order by order in the loop expansion, a redefinition of some parameters…
We investigate the gauge coupling renormalization in orbifold field theories preserving 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetry in the framework of 4-dimensional effective supergravity. As a concrete example, we consider the 5-dimensional…
The current understanding of renormalization in quantum gravity (QG) is based on the fact that UV divergences of effective actions in the covariant QG models are covariant local expressions. This fundamental statement plays a central role…
We study the functional renormalization group of a three-dimensional tensorial Group Field Theory (GFT) with gauge group SU(2). This model generates (generalized) lattice gauge theory amplitudes, and is known to be perturbatively…
A real space renormalization group technique, based on the hierarchical baby-universe structure of a typical dynamically triangulated manifold, is used to study scaling properties of 2d and 4d lattice quantum gravity. In 4d, the…
We study the infrared perturbative properties of a class of non supersymmetric gauge theories with the same field content of N=4 Super Yang-Mills and we show that the N=4 supersymmetric model represents an IR unstable fixed point for the…
We consider a scalar $\phi^4$ theory on canonically deformed Euclidean space in 4 dimensions with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be renormalisable. An exterior gauge field is coupled in a gauge invariant manner…
The supergraph technique for calculations in supersymmetric gauge theories where supersymmetry is broken in a "soft" way (without introducing quadratic divergencies) is reviewed. By introducing an external spurion field the set of Feynman…
The extension of coupling constants to space-time dependent fields, the local couplings, makes possible to derive the non-renormalization theorems of supersymmetry by an algebraic characterization of Lagrangian N=1 supermultiplets. For…
We consider noncommutative GUT inspired field theories formulated within the enveloping-algebra formalism for anomaly safe compact simple gauge groups. Our theories have only gauge fields and fermions, and we compute the UV divergent part…
Within the superfield approach, we discuss the three-dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) pseudo-QED. We prove that it is all-loop renormalizable. We demonstrate that the SUSY pseudo-QED action can be generated as a quantum correction from the…
The two--dimensional topological BF model is quantized in the axial gauge. We show that this theory is trivially ultraviolet finite and that the usual infrared problem of the propagator of the scalar field in two dimensions is replaced by…
We study the polynomial Abelian or U(1)^d Tensorial Group Field Theories equipped with a gauge invariance condition in any dimension d. From our analysis, we prove the just renormalizability at all orders of perturbation of the phi^4_6 and…
We tackle the issue of renormalizability for Tensorial Group Field Theories (TGFT) including gauge invariance conditions, with the rigorous tool of multi-scale analysis, to prepare the ground for applications to quantum gravity models. In…
We make two remarks: (i) Renormalization of the effective charge in a 4--dimensional (supersymmetric) gauge theory is determined by the same graphs and is rigidly connected to the renormalization of the metric on the moduli space of the…
Amplitudes of ordinary tensor models are dominated at large $N$ by the so-called melonic graph amplitudes. Enhanced tensor models extend tensor models with special scalings of their interactions which allow, in the same limit, that the…
We extensively study the ultraviolet quantum properties of a nonlocal action for gravity nonminimally coupled to matter. The theory unifies matter and gravity in an action principle such that all the classical solutions of Einstein's theory…
