The hysteresis loop in the zero-temperature random-field Ising model exhibits a critical point as the width of the disorder increases. Above six dimensions, the critical exponents of this transition, where the "infinite avalanche" first…
We extend the recent one loop analysis of the ultraviolet completion of the $CP(N)$ nonlinear $\sigma$ model in six dimensions to two loop order in the MSbar scheme for an arbitrary covariant gauge. In particular we compute the anomalous…
We discuss the phase structure and the equation of state for QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of $\ln Z$ with respect to quark chemical potential $\mu_q$ up to fourth order are calculated for 2-flavor QCD, enabling…
We study the phase transitions of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(N)$ Chern-Simons theory on $\mathbb{S}^3$ with a varied number of massive fundamental hypermultiplets and with a Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter. We characterize the various…
Starting from the five-loop renormalization-group expansions for the two-dimensional Euclidean scalar \phi^4 field theory (field-theoretical version of two-dimensional Ising model), pseudo-\epsilon expansions for the Wilson fixed point…
Massive field theory at fixed dimension d<4 is combined with the minimal subtraction scheme to calculate the amplitude functions of thermodynamic quantities for the O(n) symmetric phi^4 model below T_c in two-loop order. Goldstone…
The anomalous dimensions of the gluon and ghost fields as well as the ghost-ghost-gluon and quark-quark-gluon vertexes are analytically computed in pQCD. Taken together with already available anomalous dimensions of the coupling constant,…
We calculate the relativistic six-meson scattering amplitude at low energy within the framework of QCD-like theories with $n$ degenerate quark flavors at next-to-leading order in the chiral counting. We discuss the cases of complex, real…
We present an analytic three-loop calculation for thermodynamic quantities of the O(n) symmetric \phi^4 theory below T_c within the minimal subtraction scheme at fixed dimension d=3. Goldstone singularities arising at an intermediate stage…
Recently it was shown that the scaling dimension of the operator $\phi^n$ in $\lambda(\bar\phi\phi)^2$ theory may be computed semiclassically at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\epsilon$, for generic values of $\lambda n$, and this…
We consider the two-dimensional random-phase sine-Gordon and study the vicinity of its glass transition temperature $T_c$, in an expansion in small $\tau=(T_c-T)/T_c$, where $T$ denotes the temperature. We derive renormalization group…
We present five-loop results for the renormalization of various models with a cubic interaction (in ${d = 6 - 2 \varepsilon}$ dimensions). For the scalar model and its ${O(n)}$-symmetric extension we provide renormalization constants,…
The infinite dimensional generalization of the quantum mechanics of extended objects, namely, the quantum field theory of extended objects is presented. The paradigm example studied in this paper is the Euclidean scalar field with a…
In this study, we present theoretical investigations of phase transitions and critical phenomena in materials through the lens of second-order Ginzburg-Landau theory, in conjunction with considerations of symmetry groups and thermal…
The phase transitions of random-field q-state Potts models in d=3 dimensions are studied by renormalization-group theory by exact solution of a hierarchical lattice and, equivalently, approximate Migdal-Kadanoff solutions of a cubic…
We study three-dimensional {\cal N}=2 U(N) Chern-Simons theory on S^3 coupled to 2N_f chiral multiplets deformed by mass terms. The partition function localizes to a matrix integral, which can be exactly computed in the large N limit. In a…
Inspired by the corresponding problem in QCD, we determine the pressure of massless O(N) scalar field theory up to order g^6 in the weak-coupling expansion, where g^2 denotes the quartic coupling constant. This necessitates the computation…
We discuss the nature of the finite-temperature transition in QCD with N_f massless flavors. Universality arguments show that a continuous (second-order) transition must be related to a 3-D universality class characterized by a complex N_f…
We continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1404.1094, of the $O(N)$ symmetric theory of $N+1$ massless scalar fields in $6-\epsilon$ dimensions. This theory has cubic interaction terms $\frac{1}{2}g_1 \sigma (\phi^i)^2 + \frac{1}{6}g_2…
For a large class of field theories there exist portions of parameter space for which the loop expansion predicts increased symmetry breaking at high temperature. Even though this behavior would clearly have far reaching implications for…
