Combining the idea of motivic zeta function, due to Kapranov, and Pellikaan's definition of a two- variable zeta function for curves over finite fields in the present note we introduce a motivic two- variable zeta function for curves over…
We associate motivic zeta functions to a large class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras
We prove or conjecture several relations between the multizeta values for positive genus function fields of class number one, focusing on the zeta-like values, namely those whose ratio with the zeta value of the same weight is rational (or…
The motivic Hilbert zeta function of a variety is the generating function for classes in the Grothendieck ring of varieties of Hilbert schemes of points of the variety. In this paper, the motivic Hilbert zeta function of a reduced curve is…
We investigate the nature of divergences in quantum field theory, showing that they are organized in the structure of a certain `` motivic Galois group'', which is uniquely determined and universal with respect to the set of physical…
Effective quantum field theories that allow for the possibility of Lorentz symmetry violation can sometimes also include redundancies of description in their Lagrangians. Explicit calculations in a Lorentz-violating generalization of Yukawa…
In this paper, we will define analogues of multiple zeta values by replacing the differential forms defining multiple zeta values with some $\mathbb{Q}$-rational differential forms on the Fermat curve $F_2$ of degree 2 and discuss their…
The perturbative $\beta$-function is known exactly in a number of supersymmetric theories and in the 't Hooft renormalization scheme in the $\phi_4^4$ model. It is shown how this allows one to compute the effective action exactly for…
We study a self-interacting scalar field theory in the presence of a \delta-function background potential. The role of surface interactions in obtaining a renormalizable theory is stressed and demonstrated by a two-loop calculation. The…
For arbitrary scalar QFTs in four dimensions, renormalisation group equations of quartic and cubic interactions, mass terms, as well as field anomalous dimensions are computed at three-loop order in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme.…
We investigate a possibility of scale invariant but non-conformal supersymmetric field theories from a perturbative approach. The explicit existence of monotonically decreasing a-function that generates beta-functions as a gradient flow…
Along the recently trodden path of studying certain number theoretic properties of gauge theories, especially supersymmetric theories whose vacuum manifolds are non-trivial, we investigate Ihara's Graph Zeta Function for large classes of…
We introduce a new Lie-algebraic approach to explicitly construct the motivic coaction and single-valued map of multiple polylogarithms in any number of variables. In both cases, the appearance of multiple zeta values is controlled by…
The renormalization group flow in two-dimensional field theories that are coupled to gravity has unusual features: First, the flow equations are second order in derivatives. Second, in the presence of handles the flow has quantum mechanical…
In this paper, I compare the generators of the renormalization group flow, or the geometric $\beta$-functions for dimensional regularization and operator regularization. I then extend the analysis to show that the geometric $\beta$-function…
We review motivic aspects of multiple zeta values, and as an application, we give an exact-numerical algorithm to decompose any (motivic) multiple zeta value of given weight into a chosen basis up to that weight.
To a finite, connected, unoriented graph of Betti-number g>=2 and valencies >=3 we associate a finitely summable, commutative spectral triple (in the sense of Connes), whose induced zeta functions encode the graph. This gives another…
Based on considerations in conformal gauge I derive up to nextleading order a relation between the coefficients of beta-functions in 2D renormalizable field theories before and after coupling to gravity. The result implies a coupling…
Using the fact that a finite sum of power series are given by the difference between two zeta functions, we justify the usage of the zeta function with a negative variable in physical problems to avoid the divergence of the infinite sum. We…
Renormalization factors are most easily extracted by going to the massless limit of the quantum field theory and retaining only a single momentum scale. We derive factors and renormalized Green functions to all orders in perturbation theory…
