Perturbative Result

Abstract We study the perturbative series associated to bi-local correlators in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, for positive weight λ of the matter CFT operators. Starting from the known exact expression, derived by CFT and gauge theoretical methods, we reproduce the Schwarzian semiclassical expansion beyond leading order. The computation is done for arbitrary temperature and finite boundary distances, in the case of disk and trumpet topologies. A formula presenting the perturbative result (for λ ∈ ℕ/2) at any given order in terms of generalized Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials is also obtained. The limit of zero temperature is then considered, obtaining a compact expression that allows to discuss the asymptotic behaviour of the perturbative series. Finally we highlight the possibility to express the exact result as particular combinations of Mordell integrals.

Abstract We apply the optimized perturbation theory (OPT) to resum the perturbative series describing the mass gap of the bidimensional ϕ4 theory in the ℤ2 symmetric phase. Already at NLO (one loop) the method is capable of generating a quite reasonable non-perturbative result for the critical coupling. At order-g7 we obtain gc = 2.779(25) which compares very well with the state of the art N8LO result, gc = 2.807(34). As a novelty we investigate the supercritical region showing that it contains some useful complimentary information that can be used in extrapolations to arbitrarily high orders.

Abstract In this paper, we calculate the equation of state of two-flavor finite isospin chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order in the pion-condensed phase at zero temperature. We show that the transition from the vacuum phase to a Bose-condensed phase is of second order. While the tree-level result has been known for some time, surprisingly quantum effects have not yet been incorporated into the equation of state.  We find that the corrections to the quantities we compute, namely the isospin density, pressure, and equation of state, increase with increasing isospin chemical potential. We compare our results to recent lattice simulations of 2 + 1 flavor QCD with physical quark masses. The agreement with the lattice results is generally good and improves somewhat as we go from leading order to next-to-leading order in $$\chi $$χPT.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider two-flavor QCD at zero temperature and finite isospin chemical potential $$\mu _I$$ μ I using a model-independent analysis within chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. We calculate the effective potential, the chiral condensate and the pion condensate in the pion-condensed phase at both zero and nonzero pionic source. We compare our finite pionic source results for the chiral condensate and the pion condensate with recent (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD results. Agreement with lattice results generally improves as one goes from leading order to next-to-leading order.

Core Features

Abstract We propose a new approach for combining next-to-leading order (NLO) and parton shower (PS) calculations so as to obtain three core features: (a) applicability to general showers, as with the MC@NLO and POWHEG methods; (b) positive-weight events, as with the KrkNLO and POWHEG methods; and (c) all showering attributed to the parton shower code, as with the MC@NLO and KrkNLO methods. This is achieved by using multiplicative matching in phase space regions where the shower overestimates the matrix element and accumulative (additive) matching in regions where the shower underestimates the matrix element, an approach that can be viewed as a combination of the MC@NLO and KrkNLO methods.

Since the publication of the fundamental papers by Lifshitz (1, 2) and Montroll and Potts (3, 4) many authors have investigated the effect of an isotopic impurity on the lattice vibrations of a harmonic crystal at zero temperature. A fairly broad knowledge is now available on scattering amplitudes, localized modes and resonance modes (6, 7). Nevertheless, as pointed out by Maradudin and Montroll (see (7), p. 430), a closed form solution to the problem has been found only for the one-dimensional crystal, the work done on two and three-dimensional crystals being predominantly numerical. Unfortunately the one-dimensional crystal, as an approximation for a real crystal is an oversimplified model, incapable as it is of exhibiting resonance modes. To the author's knowledge the most significant exact result concerning the classical behaviour at zero temperature of crystals having a dimensionality higher than one is the connexion, calculated by Mahanty et al. (5) between localized mode frequency and impurity mass for the case of a square lattice undergoing planar vibrations.
