We critically analyze the introduction of an independent zero momentum mode field renormalization for Phi4. It leads to an infrared divergent effective action. It does not achieve its purpose: triviality still gives massless particles in…

We investigate the massless $\lambda \phi^4$ theory in de~Sitter space. It is unnatural to assume a minimally coupled interacting scalar field, since $\xi=0$ is not a fixed point of the renormalization group once interactions are included.…

We study the critical behaviour of symmetric $\phi^4_4$ theory including irrelevant terms of the form $\phi^{4+2n}/\Lambda_0^{2n}$ in the bare action, where $\Lambda_0$ is the UV cutoff (corresponding e.g. to the inverse lattice spacing for…

We prove that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative \phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains…

Perturbation theory of a large class of scalar field theories in $d<4$ can be shown to be Borel resummable using arguments based on Lefschetz thimbles. As an example we study in detail the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory in two dimensions in the…

We derive several results concerning non-perturbative renormalization in the spherical field formalism. Using a small set of local counterterms, we are able to remove all ultraviolet divergences in a manner such that the renormalized theory…

Dr. Brizard's comment on my work is based on a conceived procedure that does not come from my work. The defense of his claim that the modification of the so-called standard Lie's transform theory is unnecessary is also unsupported. This…

We show that a recent analysis in the strong coupling limit of the $\lambda\phi^4$ theory proves that this theory is indeed trivial giving in this limit the expansion of a free quantum field theory. We can get in this way the propagator…

We show that the direction of renormalization in effective field theory is constrained by fundamental principles in the infrared$\unicode{x2014}$unitarity, analyticity, and Lorentz invariance. Our theorem, in the spirit of the $a$-theorem…

We calculate the self-energy at finite temperature in scalar $\lambda\phi ^4$ theory to second order in a modified perturbation expansion. Using the renormalisation group equation to tame the logarithms in momentum, it gives an equation to…

We reply to a recent comment by Diehl and Shpot (cond-mat/0305131) criticizing a new approach to the Lifshitz critical behavior just presented (M. M. Leite Phys. Rev. B 67, 104415(2003)). We show that this approach is free of…

For massless $\phi^4$ theory, we explicitly compute the lowest order non-local contributions to the one-loop effective action required for the determination of the trace anomaly. Imposing exact conformal invariance of the local part of the…

The "triviality" of $(\lambda\Phi^4)_4$ quantum field theory means that the renormalized coupling $\lambda_R$ vanishes for infinite cutoff. That result inherently conflicts with the usual perturbative approach, which begins by postulating a…

A new formalism is given for the renormalization of quantum field theories to all orders of perturbation theory, in which there are manifestly no overlapping divergences. We prove the BPH theorem in this formalism, and show how the local…

The convergence properties of the resummed thermal perturbation series for the thermodynamic pressure are investigated by comparison with the exact results obtained in large-N phi^4 theory and possibilities for improvements are discussed.…

We consider an interacting Lifshitz field with z=3 in a curved spacetime. We analyze the renormalizability of the theory for interactions of the form lambda phi^n, with arbitrary even n. We compute the running of the coupling constants both…

A perturbative non-renormalization theorem is presented that applies to general supersymmetric theories, including non-renormalizable theories in which the $\int d^2\theta$ integrand is an arbitrary gauge-invariant function $F(\Phi,W)$ of…

We consider the N=2 supersymmetric Born-Infeld action and compute one-loop divergences quantizing the theory in N=1 superspace. We find that in the presence of non constant curvature the theory is not renormalizable. The structure of the…

The renormalized trajectory of massless $\phi^4$-theory on four dimensional Euclidean space-time is investigated as a renormalization group invariant curve in the center manifold of the trivial fixed point, tangent to the…

We study the $\frac{\lambda}{4!}\phi^{4}$ massless scalar field theory in a four-dimensional Euclidean space, where all but one of the coordinates are unbounded. We are considering Dirichlet boundary conditions in two hyperplanes, breaking…
