Abstract We study fixed points with N scalar fields in 4 − ε dimensions to leading order in ε using a bottom-up approach. We do so by analyzing O(N) invariants of the quartic coupling λijkl that describes such CFTs. In particular, we show that λiijj and $$ {\lambda}_{ijkl}^2 $$ λ ijkl 2 are restricted to a specific domain, refining a result by Rychkov and Stergiou. We also study averages of one-loop anomalous dimensions of composite operators without gradients. In many cases, we are able to show that the O(N) fixed point maximizes such averages. In the final part of this work, we generalize our results to theories with N complex scalars and to bosonic QED. In particular we show that to leading order in ε, there are no bosonic QED fixed points with N < 183 flavors.

We investigate the gauge dynamics of nonsupersymmetric SU (N) gauge theories featuring the simultaneous presence of fermionic matter transforming according to two distinct representations of the underlying gauge group. We bound the regions of flavors and colors which can yield a physical infrared fixed point. As a consistency check we recover the previously investigated bounds of the conformal windows when restricting to a single matter representation. The earlier conformal windows can be imagined to be part now of the new conformal house. We predict the nonperturbative anomalous dimensions at the infrared fixed points. We further investigate the effects of adding mass terms to the condensates on the conformal house chiral dynamics and construct the simplest instanton induced effective Lagrangian terms.

The most general SU(3) -singlet space of gauged [Formula: see text] supergravity in four-dimensions is studied recently. The SU(3) -invariant six scalar fields are realized by six real four-forms. A family of holographic [Formula: see text] supersymmetric RG flows on M2-branes in three-dimensions is described. This family of flows is driven by three independent mass parameters from the [Formula: see text] theory and is controlled by two IR fixed points, [Formula: see text]-invariant one and [Formula: see text]-invariant one. The generic flow with arbitrary mass parameters is [Formula: see text] supersymmetric and reaches to the [Formula: see text] fixed point where the three masses become identical. A particular [Formula: see text] supersymmetric SU(3) -preserving RG flow from the [Formula: see text]-invariant fixed point to the [Formula: see text]-invariant fixed point is also discussed.

1. In 1894 Humbert encountered a twisted curve C7, of order 7 and genus 5, the locus of points of contact of tangents from a fixed point N0 to those twisted cubics which pass through five fixed points N1, N2, N3, N4, N5. The cubics of this family which touch an arbitrary plane do so at points on a conic, and it was by investigating this complex of conics that Humbert was led to study C7.

AbstractTabling is a powerful resolution mechanism for logic programs that captures their least fixed point semantics more faithfully than plain Prolog. In many tabling applications, we are not interested in the set of all answers to a goal, but only require an aggregation of those answers. Several works have studied efficient techniques, such as lattice-based answer subsumption and mode-directed tabling, to do so for various forms of aggregation.While much attention has been paid to expressivity and efficient implementation of the different approaches, soundness has not been considered. This paper shows that the different implementations indeed fail to produce least fixed points for some programs. As a remedy, we provide a formal framework that generalises the existing approaches and we establish a soundness criterion that explains for which programs the approach is sound.

Abstract We study monopole operators with the lowest possible topological charge q = 1/2 at the infrared fixed point of scalar electrodynamics in 2 + 1 dimension (scalar QED3) with N complex scalars and Chern-Simons coupling |k| = N. In the large N expansion, monopole operators in this theory with spins $$ \mathrm{\ell}<O\left(\sqrt{N}\right) $$ ℓ < O N and associated flavor representations are expected to have the same scaling dimension to sub-leading order in 1/N. We use the state-operator correspondence to calculate the scaling dimension to sub-leading order with the result N − 0.2743 + O(1/N), which improves on existing leading order results. We also compute the ℓ2/N term that breaks the degeneracy to sub-leading order for monopoles with spins $$ \mathrm{\ell}=O\left(\sqrt{N}\right) $$ ℓ = O N .

In this paper, the concept of a new ?-generalized quasi metric space is introduced. A number of well-known quasi metric spaces are retrieved from ?-generalized quasi metric space. Some general fixed point theorems in a ?-generalized quasi metric spaces are proved, which generalize, modify and unify some existing fixed point theorems in the literature. We also give applications of our results to obtain fixed points for contraction mappings in the domain of words and to prove the existence of periodic solutions of delay differential equations.

Abstract In [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 2005: 3045–3055] by Liu et al. the common property (E.A) for two pairs of hybrid maps is defined. Recently, O'Regan and Shahzad [Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 23: 1601–1610, 2007] have introduced a very general contractive condition and obtained some fixed point results for hybrid maps. We introduce a new property for pairs of hybrid maps that contains the property (E.A) and obtain some coincidence and fixed point theorems that extend/generalize some results from the above-mentioned papers.

In this article, we employ the notion of coupled fixed points on a complete b-metric space endowed with a graph to give sufficient conditions to guarantee a solution of system of differential equations with impulse effects. We derive recisely some new coupled fixed point theorems under some conditions and then apply our results to achieve our goal.

Abstract We study the model of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Λ theory minimally coupled to a massive charged self-interacting scalar field, parameterized by the quartic and hexic couplings, labelled by λ and β, respectively. In the absence of scalar field, there is a class of counterexamples to cosmic censorship. Moreover, we investigate the full nonlinear solution with nonzero scalar field included, and argue that these counterexamples can be removed by assuming charged self-interacting scalar field with sufficiently large charge not lower than a certain bound. In particular, this bound on charge required to preserve cosmic censorship is no longer precisely the weak gravity bound for the free scalar theory. For the quartic coupling, for λ < 0 the bound is below the one for the free scalar fields, whereas for λ > 0 it is above. Meanwhile, for the hexic coupling the bound is always above the one for the free scalar fields, irrespective of the sign of β.
