We study the realization of dimensional reduction and the validity of the hard thermal loop expansion for lambda phi^4 theory at finite temperature, using an environmentally friendly finite-temperature renormalization group with a fiducial…

We solve the 3-loop $\Phi$-derivable approximation to the thermodynamics of the massless $\phi^4$ field theory by reducing it to a 1-parameter variational problem. The thermodynamic potential is expanded in powers of $g^2$ and $m/T$, where…

The issue of the existence and possible triviality of the Euclidean quantum scalar field in dimension 4 is investigated by using some large deviations techniques. As usual, the field $\varphi_{d}^{4}$ is obtained as a limit of regularized…

We use the variational approximation with double Gaussian type trial wave-functional approximation, in which we use the square root of the dispersion of the zero-mode wave-function as an order parameter, to study the out of equilibrium…

The infra-red behaviour of gauge theories coupled to matter remains an open problem in quantum field theory. For a given gauge group, such theories are expected to flow to an interacting conformal fixed point over a range of fermion or…

Understanding the dependence of entanglement entropy on the renormalized mass in quantum field theories can provide insight into phenomena such as quantum phase transitions, since the mass varies in a singular way near the transition. Here…

We consider the 2PI Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective action at finite temperature for a noncommutative real scalar field theory in 4 dimensions, with noncommutativity among space and time variables. By means of a Rayleig-Ritz variation,…

The flow equations of the Functional Renormalization Group are applied to the O(N)-symmetric scalar theory, for N=1 and N=4, in four Euclidean dimensions, d=4, to determine the effective potential and the renormalization function of the…

A tensorial representation of $\phi^4$ field theory introduced in Phys. Rev. D. 93, 085005 (2016) is studied close to six dimensions, with an eye towards a possible realization of an interacting conformal field theory in five dimensions. We…

We investigate possible renormalization-group fixed points at nonzero coupling in $\phi^3$ theories in six spacetime dimensions, using beta functions calculated to the four-loop level. We analyze three theories of this type, with (a) a…

Noncommutative IR singularities and UV/IR mixing in relation with the Goldstone theorem for complex scalar field theory are investigated. The classical model has two coupling constants, $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, associated to the two…

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…

In this publication we investigate dynamics of a flat FRW cosmological model with a non-minimally coupled scalar field with the coupling term $\xi R \psi^{2}$ in the scalar field action. The quadratic potential function $V(\psi)\propto…

Based on the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential, we extensively study nonperturbative renormalization of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in the ladder approximation with standing gauge coupling. Although the pure…

The trace anomaly for a conformally invariant scalar field theory on a curved manifold of positive constant curvature with boundary is considered. In the context of a perturbative evaluation of the theory's effective action explicit…

Anomalies of global symmetries are important tools for understanding the dynamics of quantum systems. We investigate anomalies of non-invertible symmetries in 3+1d using 4+1d bulk topological quantum field theories given by Abelian two-form…

We consider a pairwise interacting quantum 3-body system in 3-dimensional space with finite masses and the interaction term $V_{12} + \lambda(V_{13} + V_{23})$, where all pair potentials are assumed to be nonpositive. The pair interaction…

We study the cosmology of canonically normalized scalar fields that lead to an equation of state parameter of w_\phi=p_\phi/\rho_\phi<-1 without violating the weak energy condition: rho=\Sigma_i\rho_i \geq 0 and \rho_i+p_i\geq 0. This kind…

We apply the tools of the dynamical system theory in order to revisit and uncover the structure of a nongravitational interaction between pressureless dark matter and dark energy described by a scalar field $\phi$. For a coupling function…

There is a dilemma in constructing interacting scale invariant but not conformal invariant Euclidean field theories. On one hand, scale invariance without conformal invariance seems more generic by requiring only a smaller symmetry. On the…
