Three related analyses of $\phi^4$ theory with $O(N)$ symmetry are presented. In the first, we review the $O(N)$ model over the $p$-adic numbers and the discrete renormalization group transformations which can be understood as spin blocking…
We study large charge sectors in the $O(N)$ model in $6-\epsilon $ dimensions. For $4<d<6$, in perturbation theory, the quartic $O(N)$ theory has a UV stable fixed point at large $N$. It was recently argued that this fixed point can be…
We study the critical properties of scalar field theories in $d+1$ dimensions with $O(N)$ invariant interactions localized on a $d$-dimensional boundary. By a combination of large $N$ and epsilon expansions, we provide evidence for the…
The critical properties of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the three-dimensional stacked-triangular lattice are studied by means of a large-scale Monte Carlo simulation in order to get insight into the controversial issue of the…
We consider the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson Hamiltonian with O(n)x O(m) symmetry and compute the critical exponents at all fixed points to O(n^{-2}) and to O(\epsilon^3) in a \epsilon=4-d expansion. We also consider the corresponding non-linear…
The fractal structure and critical properties of the high-temperature graphs of the two-dimensional O($N)$ model close to criticality are investigated. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, De Gennes' results for polymer chains, corresponding…
We analyze the universal features of the critical behaviour of frustrated spin systems with noncollinear order. By means of the field theoretical renormalization group approach, we study the 3d model of a frustrated magnet and obtain…
$O(N)$ invariant vector models have been shown to possess non-trivial scaling large $N$ limits, at least perturbatively within the loop expansion, a property they share with matrix models of 2D quantum gravity. In contrast with matrix…
We show how to obtain the O(N) non-linear sigma model in two dimensions as a strong coupling limit of the corresponding linear sigma model. In taking the strong coupling limit, the squared mass parameter must be given a specific coupling…
We analyze the validity of perturbative renormalization group estimates obtained within the fixed dimension approach of frustrated magnets. We reconsider the resummed five-loop beta-functions obtained within the minimal subtraction scheme…
Frustrated magnets exhibit unusual critical behaviors: they display scaling laws accompanied by nonuniversal critical exponents. This suggests that these systems generically undergo very weak first order phase transitions. Moreover, the…
$N$ conformal theory models $WD^{(p)}_{3}$ coupled locally by their energy operators are analyzed by means of a perturbative renormalization group. New non-trivial fixed points are found.
Let M be an o-minimal structure with elimination of imaginaries, N an unstable structure definable in M. Then there exists X, interpretable in N, such that X with all the structure induced from N is o-minimal. In particular X is linearly…
Inspired by a possible relation between large $N$ gauge theory and string theory, we search for nontrivial fixed points in large $N$ gauge theory in more than four dimensions. We study large $N$ gauge theory through Monte Carlo simulation…
Motivated by conjectures about near-horizon dynamics in quantum gravity, we search for lines of perturbatively accessible fixed points emanating from models of $N$ free fermions. Through two loops we find a new class of models, apart from…
But if you treat it as a two-form, you get three nontrivial renormalization group fixed points! Which becomes the Heisenberg fixed point in three dimensions? Motivated by this question, we study the conformal bootstrap constraint in the…
In a conformal field theory with weakly broken higher spin symmetry, the leading order anomalous dimensions of the broken currents can be efficiently determined from the structure of the classical non-conservation equations. We apply this…
Some mysterious features of the strong interactions become easily understood if our usual QCD with N=3 is `close to' SU(oo) and if the latter theory is confining. N=oo theories are theoretically simpler; in particular there has been much…
The critical behaviour of the O(n)-symmetric model with two n-vector fields is studied within the field-theoretical renormalization group approach in a D=4-2 epsilon expansion. Depending on the coupling constants the beta-functions, fixed…
We discuss the static and dynamic multicritical behavior of three-dimensional systems of $O(n_\|)\oplus O(n_\perp)$ symmetry as it is explained by the field theoretical renormalization group method. Whereas the static renormalization group…
