A first step in the analysis of the renormalizability of gravity at Large N is carried on. Suitable resummations of planar diagrams give rise to a theory in which there is only a finite number of primitive superficially divergent Feynman…
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent…
Certain power-counting non-renormalizable theories, including the most general self-interacting scalar fields in four and three dimensions and fermions in two dimensions, have a simplified renormalization structure. For example, in…
The thermodynamics of the O(N) linear and nonlinear sigma models in 3+1 dimensions is studied. We calculate the pressure to next-to-leading order in the 1/N expansion and show that at this order, temperature-independent renormalization is…
In theories with renormalons the perturbative series is factorially divergent even after restricting to a given order in $1/N$, making the $1/N$ expansion a natural testing ground for the theory of resurgence. We study in detail the…
We define a new large $N$ limit for general $\text{O}(N)^{R}$ or $\text{U}(N)^{R}$ invariant tensor models, based on an enhanced large $N$ scaling of the coupling constants. The resulting large $N$ expansion is organized in terms of a…
A four-fermion model in 2+1 dimensions describing N Dirac fermions interacting via SU(N) invariant N^2-1 four-fermion interactions is solved in the leading order of the 1/N expansion. The 1/N expansion corresponds to 't Hoofts topological…
Correlation functions of matrix-valued fields are not generally known for massive renormalized field theories. We find the large-N limit of form factors of the (1+1)-dimensional sigma model with SU(N) X SU(N) symmetry. These form factors…
We present a general formalism that allows for the computation of large-order renormalized expansions in the spacetime representation, effectively doubling the numerically attainable perturbation order of renormalized Feynman diagrams. We…
In these lecture notes prepared for the 11th Taiwan Spring School, Taipei 1997}, and updated for the Saalburg summer school 1998, we review the solutions of O(N) or U(N) models in the large N limit and as 1/N expansions, in the case of…
A renormalization-group scheme is developed for the 3-dimensional O($2N$)-symmetric Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson model, which is consistent with the use of a 1/N expansion as a systematic method of approximation. It is motivated by an application…
Various effective field theories in four dimensions are shown to have exact non-trivial solutions in the limit as the number $N$ of fields of some type becomes large. These include extended versions of the U(N) Gross-Neveu model, the…
Explicit expressions are considered for the generating functions concerning the number of planar diagrams with given numbers of 3- and 4-point vertices. It is observed that planar renormalization theory requires diagrams with restrictions,…
In this paper, we continue the study of large $N$ problems for the Wick renormalized linear sigma model, i.e. $N$-component $\Phi^4$ model, in two spatial dimensions, using stochastic quantization methods and Dyson--Schwinger equations. We…
The divergence of perturbative expansions for the vast majority of macroscopic systems, which follows from Dyson's collapse argument, prevents Feynman's diagrammatic technique from being directly used for controllable studies of strongly…
A systematic study of large N expansion in supersymmetric theories are given. Supersymmetric O(N) non-linear sigma model in two and three dimensions, massless and massive supersymmetric QCD with $N_{f}<N_{c}-1$ and supergravity models are…
Due to instanton effects, gauge-theoretic large N expansions yield asymptotic series, in powers of 1/N^2. The present work shows how to generically make such expansions meaningful via their completion into resurgent transseries, encoding…
With the aid of simple examples we show how to make simple estimates of the sizes of higher-order Feynman graphs. Our methods enable appropriate values of renormalization and factorization scales to be made. They allow the diagnosis of the…
We discuss the quantized theory of a pure-gauge non-abelian vector field (flat connection) as it would appear in a mass term a` la Stueckelberg. However the paper is limited to the case where only the flat connection is present (no field…
We completely generalize previous results related to the counting of connected Feynman diagrams. We use a generating function approach, which encodes the Wick contraction combinatorics of the respective connected diagrams. Exact solutions…
