We discuss lowering the order of the two-dimensional scalar-tensor R2 quantum gravity, by mapping the most general version of the model to a multi-dilaton gravity, which is essentially the sigma-model coupled with the Jackiw-Teitelboim-like gravity. In the continuation of our previous research, we calculate the divergent part of the one-loop effective action in a 2-D scalar-tensor (dilatonic) gravity with the R2-term, which belongs to a specific degenerate case and cannot be obtained from the general expression. The corresponding finiteness conditions are found.

Abstract We apply the harmonic superspace approach for calculating the divergent part of the one-loop effective action of renormalizable 6D, $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1, 0) supersymmetric higher-derivative gauge theory with a dimensionless coupling constant. Our consideration uses the background superfield method allowing to carry out the analysis of the effective action in a manifestly gauge covariant and $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1, 0) supersymmetric way. We exploit the regularization by dimensional reduction, in which the divergences are absorbed into a renormalization of the coupling constant. Having the expression for the one-loop divergences, we calculate the relevant β-function. Its sign is specified by the overall sign of the classical action which in higher-derivative theories is not fixed a priori. The result agrees with the earlier calculations in the component approach. The superfield calculation is simpler and provides possibilities for various generalizations.

The methodology of the solution to the inverse fractal problem with the wavelet transform1,2 is extended to two-dimensional self-affine functions. Similar to the one-dimensional case, the two-dimensional wavelet maxima bifurcation representation used is derived from the continuous wavelet decomposition. It possesses translational and scale invariance necessary to reveal the invariance of the self-affine fractal. As many fractals are naturally defined on two-dimensions, this extension constitutes an important step towards solving the related inverse fractal problem for a variety of fractal types.

We consider the one-loop effective action in four-dimensional Euclidean space for a background chiral field coupled to a spinor field. It proves possible to find an exact expression for this action if the mass m of the spinor vanishes. If m does not vanish, one can make a perturbative expansion in powers of the axial field that contributes to the chiral field, while treating the contribution of the vector field exactly when it is a constant. The analogous problem in two dimensions is also discussed.

Abstract In previous work, we showed that an anomaly in the one point function of marginal operators is related by the Wess-Zumino condition to the Euler density anomaly on a two dimensional defect or boundary. Here we analyze in detail the two point functions of marginal operators with the stress tensor and with the displacement operator in three dimensions. We show how to get the boundary anomaly from these bulk two point functions and find perfect agreement with our anomaly effective action. For a higher dimensional conformal field theory with a four dimensional defect, we describe for the first time the anomaly effective action that relates the Euler density term to the one point function anomaly, generalizing our result for two dimensional defects.

We follow Witten's proposal1 in the calculation of conformal anomaly from (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity via AdS/CFT correspondence. It is assumed that some d-dimensional conformal field theories have a description in terms of above (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity which includes not only the Einstein term and cosmological constant but also curvature squared terms. The explicit expression for two-dimensional and four-dimensional anomalies is found, it contains higher derivative corrections. In particular, it is shown that not only Einstein gravity but also theory with the Lagrangian L =aR2 + bRμνRμν + Λ (even when a=0 or b=0) is five-dimensional bulk theory for [Formula: see text] super-Yang–Mills theory in AdS/CFT correspondence. Similarly, the d + 1 = 3 theory with (or without) Einstein term may describe d = 2 scalar or spinor CFT's. That gives new versions of bulk side which may be useful in different aspects. As application of our general formalism we find next-to-leading corrections to the conformal anomaly of [Formula: see text] supersymmetric theory from d = 5 AdS higher derivative gravity (low energy string effective action).

Abstract A linear stability analysis is performed on two simplified models representing a one-dimensional flame between oxidizer and fuel reservoirs and a two-dimensional “edge-flame” between the same reservoirs but above a cold, inert wall. Comparison of the eigenvalue spectra for both models is performed to discern the validity of extending the results from the one-dimensional problem to the two-dimensional problem. Of primary interest is the influence on flame stability of thermal-diffusive imbalances, i.e. non-unity Lewis numbers. Flame oscillations are observed when Le > 1, and cellular flames are witnessed when Le < 1. It is found that when Le > 1 the characteristics of flame behavior are consistent between the two models. Furthermore, when Le < 1, the models are found to be in good agreement with respect to the magnitude of the critical wave numbers. Results from the coarse mesh analysis of the two-dimensional system are presented and compared to the one-dimensional eigenvalue spectra. Additionally, an examination of low reactant convection is undertaken. It is concluded that for low flow rates the behavior in one and two dimensions are similar qualitatively and quantitatively.

We study the couplings of discrete states that appear in the string theory embedded in two dimensions, and show that they are given by the structure constants of the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms. We propose an effective action for these states, which is itself invariant under this infinite-dimensional group.

We study the effective action in 2-D dilaton-Maxwell quantum gravity. Working with the one-loop renormalizable subset of such theories, we construct the improved effective Lagrangian which contains curvature under logarithm. This effective Lagrangian leads to new classical dilatonic gravity inspired by quantum effects. The static black holes (BH) solutions which may play the role of a remnant after the Hawking radiation for such theory are carefully investigated. The effective Lagrangian for Gross–Neveu-dilaton gravity is also constructed (in 1/N expansion).

Abstract The effective action in quantum general relativity is strongly dependent on the gauge-fixing and parametrization of the quantum metric. As a consequence, in the effective approach to quantum gravity, there is no possibility to introduce the renormalization-group framework in a consistent way. On the other hand, the version of effective action proposed by Vilkovisky and DeWitt does not depend on the gauge-fixing and parametrization off- shell, opening the way to explore the running of the cosmological and Newton constants as well as the coefficients of the higher-derivative terms of the total action. We argue that in the effective framework the one-loop beta functions for the zero-, two- and four-derivative terms can be regarded as exact, that means, free from corrections coming from the higher loops. In this perspective, the running describes the renormalization group flow between the present-day Hubble scale in the IR and the Planck scale in the UV.
