For lambda phi^4 models, the introduction of a large field cutoff improves significantly the accuracy that can be reached with perturbative series but the calculation of the modified coefficients remains a challenging problem. We show that…
For lambda phi^4 problems, convergent perturbative series can be obtained by cutting off the large field configurations. The modified series converge to values exponentially close to the exact ones. For lambda larger than some critical…
We discuss the crossover between the small and large field cutoff (denoted x_{max}) limits of the perturbative coefficients for a simple integral and the anharmonic oscillator. We show that in the limit where the order k of the perturbative…
We report MC calculations of perturbative coefficients for lattice scalar field theory in dimensions 1, 2 and 3, where the large field contributions are cutoff. This produces converging (instead of asymptotic) perturbative series. We…
The real time evolution of quantum field theory models can be calculated order by order in perturbation theory. For $\lambda \phi^4$ models, the perturbative series have a zero radius of convergence which in part motivated the design of…
We take advantage of the fact that in lambda phi ^4 problems a large field cutoff phi_max makes perturbative series converge toward values exponentially close to the exact values, to make optimal choices of phi_max. For perturbative series…
Various formulations of the exact renormalization group can be compared in the perturbative domain, in which we have reliable expressions for regularization-independent (universal) quantities. We consider the renormalization of the…
We study cutoff and lattice effects in the O(n) symmetric $\phi^4$ theory for a $d$-dimensional cubic geometry of size $L$ with periodic boundary conditions. In the large-N limit above $T_c$, we show that $\phi^4$ field theory at finite…
Effective field theories (EFTs) provide a powerful framework to parametrise unknown aspects of possible ultraviolet (UV) physics. For scalar fields in de Sitter space, however, new emergent phenomena can arise when the cut-off scale of the…
An alternative perturbative expansion in quantum mechanics which allows a full expression of the scaling arbitrariness is introduced. This expansion is examined in the case of the anharmonic oscillator and is conveniently resummed using a…
Calculations of high-energy processes involving the production of a large number of particles in weakly-coupled quantum field theories have previously signaled the need for novel non-perturbative behavior or even new physical phenomena. In…
We show that general cutoff scalar field theories in four dimensions are perturbatively renormalizable through the use of diagrammatic techniques and an adapted BPH renormalization method. Weinberg's convergence theorem is used to show that…
In effective field theories, the concept of renormalization of perturbative divergences is replaced by renormalization group concepts such as relevance and universality. Universality is related to cutoff scheme independence in…
In this review we study quantum field theories and conformal field theories with global symmetries in the limit of large charge for some of the generators of the symmetry group. At low energy the sectors of the theory with large charge are…
In pure gauge SU(3) near beta = 6, weak and strong coupling expansions break down and the MC method seems to be the only practical alternative. We discuss the possibility of using a modified version of perturbation theory which relies on a…
A new perturbation theory is proposed for studying finite-size effects near critical point of the $\phi^4$ model with a one-component order parameter. The new approach is based on the techniques of generating functional and functional…
We incorporate the concept of dimensional reduction at high energies within the perturbative formulation of quantum field theory. In this new framework, space and momentum integrations are modified by a weighting function incorporating an…
The implications of restricted conformal invariance under conformal transformations preserving a plane boundary are discussed for general dimensions $d$. Calculations of the universal function of a conformal invariant $\xi$ which appears in…
In many cases of interest, the perturbative series based on conventional Feynman diagrams have a zero radius of convergence. Series with a finite radius of convergence can be obtained by either introducing a large field cutoff or by…
The critical point of a topological phase transition is described by a conformal field theory, where finite-size corrections to energy are uniquely related to its central charge. We investigate the finite-size scaling away from criticality…
