We investigate the one-loop renormalisability of a general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter, and show the existence of an N=1/2 supersymmetric SU(N)xU(1) theory which is renormalisable at one loop.
We consider O(N)-symmetric potentials with a logarithmic singularity in the second field derivative. This class includes BCS and Gross Neveu potentials. Formally, the exact renormalization group equation for the Legendre transform of these…
We reconsider the renormalization of scalar mass and point out that the quantum correction to the physical observable, as opposed to the bare parameter, of a renormalizable operator, is technically insensitive to ultraviolet physics and…
It is shown that the one-loop quadratic divergences of standard supergravity can be regulated by the introduction of heavy Pauli-Villars fields belonging to chiral and abelian gauge multiplets. The resulting one-loop correction can be…
Given an embedded closed submanifold $\Sigma^n$ in the closed Riemannian manifold $M^{n + k}$, where $k < n + 2$, we define extrinsic global conformal invariants of $\Sigma$ by renormalizing the volume associated to the unique singular…
A singular polynomial is one which is annihilated by all Dunkl operators for a certain parameter value. These polynomials were first studied by Dunkl, de Jeu and Opdam, (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 346 (1994), 237-256). This paper constructs a…
We perform the complete one-loop renormalization of a general two-Higgs-doublet model. We present all the vertices for this model including the ones in the scalar sector and calculate all the counterterms of the theory.
We show that N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory is renormalisable at one loop, but only after gauge invariance is restored in a non-trivial fashion.
We give a very simple proof that the renormalization of the Chern-Simons coupling in the Wilsonian effective action is exhausted at one-loop. Our proof can apply to arbitrary 2+1-dimensional abelian as well as nonabelian gauge theories…
Motivated by a recent analysis which presents explicitly the general solution, we consider the eigenvalue problem of the spinless Salpeter equation with a ("hard-core amended") Coulomb potential in one dimension. We prove the existence of a…
We consider nonanticommutative SYM theories with chiral matter in the adjoint representation of the SU(N) x U(1) gauge group. In a superspace setup and manifest background covariant approach we investigate the one-loop renormalization of…
We analyze the low-lying states for a one-dimensional potential consisting of $N$ identical wells, assuming that the wells are parabolic around the minima. Matching the exact wave functions around the minima and the WKB wave functions in…
The relation between renormalization and short distance singular divergencies in quantum field theory is studied. As a consequence a finite theory is presented. It is shown that these divergencies are originated by the multiplication of…
We introduce tropical scalar field theory as a model for renormalizable quantum field theory, and examine in detail the case of quartic self-interaction and internal $O(N)$ symmetry. This model arises in a formally zero-dimensional limit of…
We briefly review general concepts of renormalization in quantum field theory and discuss their application to solutions of integral equations with singular potentials in the few-nucleon sector of the low-energy effective field theory of…
In the present paper we study the structure of the WKB series for the polynomial potential $V(x)=x^N$ ($N$ even). In particular, we obtain relatively simple recurrence formula of the coefficients $\s'_k$ of the semiclassical approximation…
Non-differentiable potentials, such as the V-shaped (linear) potential, appear in various areas of physics. For example, the effective action for branons in the framework of the brane world scenario contains a Liouville-type interaction,…
The renormalization structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity is investigated, in a covariant gauge. One-loop divergences of the effective action are calculated. All the surface divergent terms are taken into account, thus completing…
We introduce two potentials explicitly given by the Lambert-W function for which the exact solution of the one-dimensional stationary Schr\"odinger equation is written through the first derivative of a double-confluent Heun function. One of…
The explicit one-loop renormalizability of the gluon sector of QCD with Lorentz violation is demonstrated. The result is consistent with multiplicative renormalization as the required counter terms are consistent with a single re-scaling of…
