We construct an explicit example of unitarity violation in fermionic quantum field theories in non-integer dimensions. We study the two-point correlation function of four-fermion operators. We compute the one-loop anomalous dimensions of…

We apply the method of the large spin bootstrap to analyse fermionic conformal field theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetry. Through the study of correlators of composite operators, we find the anomalous dimensions and OPE…

Wilson-Fisher expansion near upper critical dimension has proven to be an invaluable conceptual and computational tool in our understanding of the universal critical behavior in the $\phi ^4$ field theories that describe low-energy physics…

We investigate a class of relativistic fermion theories in 2<d<4 space-time dimensions with continuous chiral U(Nf)xU(Nf) symmetry. This includes a number of well-studied models, e.g., of Gross-Neveu and Thirring type, in a unified…

The Gross-Neveu model is a quantum field theory model of Dirac fermions in two dimensions with a quartic interaction term. Like Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions, the model is scaling critical (i.e. renormalizable but not…

Fixed points of scalar field theories with quartic interactions in $d=4-\varepsilon$ dimensions are considered in full generality. For such theories it is known that there exists a scalar function $A$ of the couplings through which the…

Conformal field theory (CFT) plays a key role in modern theoretical physics. Through CFT we describe real physical systems at criticality and fixed points of the renormalization group flow. It is also central in the study of quantum…

Defects play a central role in many contexts, from condensed matter to quantum gravity. The situations in which the bulk theory is conformal and the defect inherits part of this symmetry -- the so-called defect conformal field theories…

We study the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa field theory for the SO($N$) symmetric traceless rank-two tensor order parameter coupled to Majorana fermions using the $\epsilon$-expansion around upper critical dimensions of $3+1$ to two loops. Previously…

The one-loop beta functions for systems of $N_s$ scalars and $N_f$ fermions interacting via a general potential are analysed as tensorial equations in $4-\varepsilon$ dimensions. Two distinct bounds on combinations of invariants constructed…

We consider the Renormalization Group (RG) fixed-point theory associated with a fermionic $\psi^4_d$ model in $d=1,2,3$ with fractional kinetic term, whose scaling dimension is fixed so that the quartic interaction is weakly relevant in the…

We study supersymmetry breaking deformations of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ 5d fixed point known as $E_1$, the UV completion of $SU(2)$ super-Yang-Mills. The phases of the non-supersymmetric theory can be characterized by Chern-Simons terms…

We study an asymptotically free theory of $N$ relativistic Dirac fermions and a real scalar field coupled by Yukawa and scalar self-interactions in three dimensions using functional renormalisation. In the limit of many fermion flavours,…

The massless three dimensional Gross-Neveu-Yukawa (GNY) and Nambu--Jona-Lasinio--Yukawa (NJLY) models at finite temperatures are analyzed within the mean field framework considering all coupling values. When the number of Dirac fermions is…

We use Lightcone Conformal Truncation to analyze the RG flow of the two-dimensional supersymmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory, i.e. the theory of a real scalar superfield with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric cubic superpotential. The theory…

We consider the effects of weak quenched fermionic disorder on the quantum-phase transition between the Dirac semimetal and charge density wave (CDW) insulator in two spatial dimensions. The symmetry breaking transition is described by the…

Using analogies between flow equations from the Functional Renormalization Group and flow equations from (numerical) fluid dynamics we investigate the effects of bosonic fluctuations in a bosonized Gross-Neveu model -- namely the…

According to recent arguments by the author, the conformal field theory (CFT) describing the scaling limit of the integer quantum Hall plateau transition is a deformed level-4 Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model with Riemannian target space…

New renormalisation group flows of three-dimensional Chern--Simons theories with a single gauge group $\textrm{SU}(N)$ and adjoint matter are found holographically. These RG flows have an infrared fixed point given by a CFT with…

We propose a novel RG method to specify the location of the IR fixed point in lattice gauge theories and apply it to the $SU(3)$ gauge theories with $N_f$ fundamental fermions. It is based on the scaling behavior of the propagator through…
