A general mechanism for the loss of conformal invariance is the merger and disappearance of an infrared fixed point and an ultraviolet fixed point of a renormalization group flow. We show explicitly how this mechanism works in the case of…

Nucleon structure functions are shown to have a qualitative (or `formal') relation to the classical elliptic theta functions. In particular, theta_1'/2 shows a clear resemblance to a non-singlet structure function like xF_3. In the…

We study an extreme non-static limit of 2+1-dimensional QED obtained by making a dimensional reduction so that all fields are spatially uniform but time dependent. This dimensional reduction leads to a 0+1-dimensional field theory that…

We use lattice simulations and the continuous renormalization-group method, based on the gradient flow, to calculate the $\beta$ function and anomalous dimensions of the SU(3) gauge theory with $N_f=10$ flavors of fermions in the…

We review the application of the critical point large N_f self-consistency method to QCD. In particular we derive the O(1/N_f) d-dimensional critical exponents whose epsilon-expansion determines the perturbative coefficients in MSbar of the…

We discuss the long-distance physics of 2d adjoint QCD when it is viewed as an effective field theory, and determine the beta functions for its two classically-marginal four-fermi operators. These four-fermion terms preserve the invertible…

We consider the dynamics of gauge-Yukawa theories in the presence of a large number of matter constituents. We first review the current status for the renormalization group equations of gauge-fermion theories featuring also semi-simple…

It has been conjectured that 3d fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields are dual to 3d critical scalars, also minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields. The large $N$ arguments for this duality can formally be used to…

We gain insight on the fixed point dynamics of $d$ dimensional quantum field theories by exploiting the critical behavior of the $d-\epsilon$ sister theories. To this end we first derive a self-consistent relation between the $d-\epsilon$…

We have investigated a system with two sets of staggered fermions with charges 1 and -1/2 coupling to a non-compact U(1) gauge field in 4 dimensions. The model exhibits breaking of chiral symmetries of both fermions at different values of…

The validity of the renormalization group approach for large $N$ is clarified by using the vector model as an example. An exact difference equation is obtained which relates free energies for neighboring values of $N$. The reparametrization…

The critical properties of the QED$_{3}$ Gross-Neveu-Yukawa (GNY) model in 2+1 dimensions with $N$ flavors of two-component Dirac fermions are computed to first order in the $1/N$ expansion. For the specific case of $N=2$, the critical…

In this paper we investigate the renormalization of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics, regularized by higher derivatives, in the on-shell scheme. It is demonstrated that in this scheme the exact Novikov, Shifman,…

We analyse quantum properties of ${\cal N}=2$ and ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories formulated in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields and investigate the conditions imposed on a renormalization prescription under which the…

We introduce the beta function of a knot in euclidean three-space. This is a meromorphic function of a complex variable which we prove admits a Bernstein type functional equation. We determine the first residues.

We calculate and resum a perturbative expansion of nuclear enhanced power corrections to the structure functions measured in deeply inelastic scattering of leptons on a nuclear target. Our results for the Bjorken $x$-, $Q^2$- and…

We study two--loop renormalization in $(2+\epsilon)$--dimensional quantum gravity. As a first step towards the full calculation, we concentrate on the divergences which are proportional to the number of matter fields. We calculate the…

Flows of the couplings of a theory of an N-component (complex) scalar field coupled to electrodynamics is investigated using the functional renormalization group formalism in d dimensions in covariant gauges. We find charged fixed points…

We report on progress towards including next-to-leading order (NLO) radiative corrections to the subleading-power factorization formula for the $Q_1^{q}-Q_{7\gamma}$ interference contribution in $\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma$ at large photon…

We find the three-loop contribution to the $\beta$-function of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories regularized by higher covariant derivatives produced by the supergraphs containing loops of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts. This is done…
