We study the possibility of an ultraviolet (UV) zero in the six-loop beta function of an O($N$) $\lambda |\vec \phi|^4$ field theory in $d=4$ spacetime dimensions. For general $N$, in the range of values of $\lambda$ where a perturbative…
We investigate the possibility of an ultraviolet (UV) zero in the $n$-loop beta function of a $\lambda (\vec{\phi}^2)^2$ field theory with an $N$-component scalar field, $\vec{\phi}$, in four spacetime dimensions, up to the level of $n=5$…
We study the possibility of an ultraviolet (UV) zero in the $n$-loop beta function of U(1) and non-Abelian gauge theories with $N_f$ fermions for large $N_f$. The effect of scheme transformations on the coefficients of different powers of…
We investigate whether the six-loop beta function of the $\lambda \phi^4_4$ theory exhibits evidence for an ultraviolet zero. As part of our analysis, we calculate and analyze Pad\'e approximants to this beta function. Extending our earlier…
We investigate whether the seven-loop beta function of the $\lambda \phi^4_4$ theory exhibits evidence for an ultraviolet zero. In addition to a direct analysis of the beta function, we calculate and study Pad\'e approximants and discuss…
We investigate a family of four-dimensional quantum field theories with weakly interacting ultraviolet fixed points up to four loop order in perturbation theory. Key new ingredients are the three loop gauge contributions to quartic scalar…
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…
We study the scalar $\phi^3$ theory above six dimensions. The beta function $\beta(g)=-\epsilon g-\frac{3}{4}g^3$ in $d=6-2\epsilon$ dimensions has a UV fixed point when $\epsilon<0$. Like the $O(N)$ vector models above four dimensions,…
We consider an asymptotically free vectorial SU($N_c$) gauge theory with $N_f$ fermions in the fundamental representation and analyze higher-loop contributions to the evolution of the theory from the ultraviolet to the infrared in the limit…
We consider six-dimensional higher-derivative ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric gauge theory coupled with the hypermultiplet. We use the background superfield method in six-dimensional ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ harmonic superspace to study the…
We investigate whether the beta function of the finite-$N$ Gross-Neveu model, as calculated up to the four-loop level, exhibits evidence for an infrared zero. As part of our analysis, we calculate and analyze Pad\'e approximants to this…
We use the recently developed generalized double-copy construction to obtain an improved representation of the five-loop four-point integrand of $N = 8$ supergravity whose leading ultraviolet behavior we analyze using state of the art…
We compute the beta-function and the anomalous dimension of all the non-derivative operators of the theory up to three-loops for the most general nearest-neighbour O(N)-invariant action together with some contributions to the four-loop…
We present the perturbative renormalization group functions of $O(n)$-symmetric $\phi^4$ theory in $4-2\varepsilon$ dimensions to the sixth loop order in the minimal subtraction scheme. In addition, we estimate diagrams without…
The presence of an infinite number of marginal four-fermion operators is a key characteristic of the two-dimensional Gross-Neveu model. In this study, we investigate the structure of UV divergences in this model, and by symmetry argument we…
We try to use scale-invariance and the large-N limit to find a non-trivial 4d O(N) scalar field model with controlled UV behavior and naturally light scalar excitations. The principle is to fix interactions by requiring the effective action…
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…
The beta function of the vacuum energy density is computed at the four-loop level in massive O(N) symmetric phi^4 theory. Dimensional regularization is used in conjunction with the MSbar scheme and all calculations are in momentum space in…
In these lectures I describe the remarkable ultraviolet behavior of N=8 supergravity, which through four loops is no worse than that of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory (a finite theory). I also explain the computational tools that allow…
We describe the construction of the complete four-loop four-particle amplitude of N=8 supergravity. The amplitude is ultraviolet finite, not only in four dimensions, but in five dimensions as well. The observed extra cancellations provide…
