We discuss the renormalizability of stochastically quantized ϕ4 theory in four dimensions using the operator formalism of the Langevin equation developed by Namiki and Yamanaka. The operator formalism casts the Parisi Wu stochastic quantization scheme into a five-dimensional field theory. The usefulness of this approach over the one based directly on the Langevin equation is brought out for discussion of renormalization. We propose a new regularization scheme for the stochastic diagrams and use it to compute the renormalization constants and counter terms for the ϕ4 theory to second order in the coupling constant.

In an earlier paper, it has been shown that the ultra violet divergence structure of anomalous [Formula: see text] axial vector gauge model in the stochastic quantization scheme is different from that in the conventional quantum field theory. Also, it has been shown that the model is expected to be renormalizable. Based on the operator formalism of the stochastic quantization, a new approach to anomalous [Formula: see text] axial vector gauge model is proposed. The operator formalism provides a convenient framework for analysis of ultra violet divergences, but the computations in a realistic model become complicated. In this paper a new approach to do computations in the model is formulated directly in four dimensions. The suggestions put forward here will lead to simplification in the study of applications of the axial vector gauge theory, as well as those of other similar models.

The real-time operator formalism for thermal quantum field theories, thermofield dynamics, is formulated in terms of a path-integral approach in noncommutative spaces. As an application, the two-point function for a thermal noncommutative λϕ4 theory is derived at the one-loop level. The effect of temperature and the noncommutative parameter, competing with one another, is analyzed.

Abstract Building on recent progress in the study of compactifications of 6d (1, 0) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on Riemann surfaces to 4d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 theories, we initiate a systematic study of compactifications of 5d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 SCFTs on Riemann surfaces to 3d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 theories. Specifically, we consider the compactification of the so-called rank 1 Seiberg $$ {E}_{N_f+1} $$ E N f + 1 SCFTs on tori and tubes with flux in their global symmetry, and put the resulting 3d theories to various consistency checks. These include matching the (usually enhanced) IR symmetry of the 3d theories with the one expected from the compactification, given by the commutant of the flux in the global symmetry of the corresponding 5d SCFT, and identifying the spectrum of operators and conformal manifolds predicted by the 5d picture. As the models we examine are in three dimensions, we encounter novel elements that are not present in compactifications to four dimensions, notably Chern-Simons terms and monopole superpotentials, that play an important role in our construction. The methods used in this paper can also be used for the compactification of any other 5d SCFT that has a deformation leading to a 5d gauge theory.

We compute parity-violating anomaly in gauge theories with odd number of dimensions using an approach based on the effective Fokker-Planck equation in the stochastic quantization scheme. We find results that agree with those obtained by the Langevin equation.

AbstractWe study the motion of test particles and photons in the vicinity of the (2+1)-dimensional Gauss–Bonnet (GB) BTZ black hole. We find that the presence of the coupling constant serves as an attractive gravitational charge, shifting the innermost stable circular orbits outward with respect to the one for this theory in four dimensions. Further, we consider the gravitational lensing, to test the GB gravity in (2+1) dimensions and show that the presence of the GB parameter causes the bending angle to first increase with the increase in the inverse of the closest approach distance, $$u_0$$ u 0 , reaching a peak value for a specific $$u_0^*$$ u 0 ∗ , and then decreasing to zero. We also show that the increase in the value of the GB parameter decreases the bending angle, and the increase in the absolute value of the negative cosmological constant produces an opposite effect on this angle.

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.

Abstract We consider a family of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 superconformal field theories in four dimensions, defined as ℤq orbifolds of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory. We compute the chiral/anti-chiral correlation functions at a perturbative level, using both the matrix model approach arising from supersymmetric localisation on the four-sphere and explicit field theory calculations on the flat space using the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superspace formalism. We implement a highly efficient algorithm to produce a large number of results for finite values of N , exploiting the symmetries of the quiver to reduce the complexity of the mixing between the operators. Finally the interplay with the field theory calculations allows to isolate special observables which deviate from $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 only at high orders in perturbation theory.

The λϕ4 theory with tachyonic mass is analyzed at T ≠ 0 using an improved one-loop approximation in which each of the bare propagators in the one-loop diagram is replaced by a dressed propagator to take into account the higher loop effects. The dressed propagator is characterized by a temperature-dependent mass which is determined by a self-consistent relation. Renomalization is found to be necessarily temperature-dependent. Real effective potential is obtained, giving rise to real effective mass and real coupling constant. For T < Tc, this is achieved by first shifting the ϕ field by its zero-temperature vacuum expectation value. The effective coupling constant is found to exhibit the striking behavior that it approaches a constant nonzero value as T → ∞.

I propose a close reading on two critical interventions about crime fiction in Argentina: “Estado policial y novela negra argentina” (1991) by José Pablo Feinmann and “Para una reformulación del género policial argentino” (2006) by Carlos Gamerro. Beyond the time difference between the two, I observe aspects in common. Both texts elaborate a corpus of writers and fictions; propose an interpretative guide between the literary and the political-social series; maintain a specific interest in the relationship between crime fiction and police; and elaborate figures of enunciators who serve both as theorists of the genre and as writers of fiction. Among these four dimensions, the one that particularly interests me here is the third, since it allows me to investigate the link that is assumed between “detective fiction” and “police institution”. My conclusion is twofold: on the one hand, in both essays predominates a reductionist vision of the genre, since a kind of necessity is emphasized in the representation of the social order; on the other, its main objective seems to lie in intervening directly on the definitions of the detective fiction in Argentina (and, on this point, both texts acquire an undoubtedly prescriptive nuance).
