We show how the flat spacetime Galileon field theories (FSGFT) in arbitrary dimensions can be obtained through a Born–Infeld (BI) type structure. This construction involves a brane metric and nonlinear combinations of derivatives of a scalar field. Our setup gives rise to some Galileon tensors and vectors useful for the variational analysis which are related to the momentum density of the probe Lovelock branes floating in a N-dimensional flat bulk. We find further that the Noether currents associated to these Galileon theories may be written in terms of such tensors.

In this paper, we investigate analytically the conformal symmetry influence on the next-to-leading order radiative quantum corrections to critical exponents for massless O([Formula: see text]) [Formula: see text] scalar field theories in curved spacetime. We renormalize the theory by applying the Bogoliubov–Parasyuk–Hepp–Zimmermann (BPHZ) method. We find that the critical exponents are the same as that of flat spacetime, at least at the loop order considered. We argue that this result agrees perfectly with the universality hypothesis.

Abstract We construct classical theories for scalar fields in arbitrary Carroll spacetimes that are invariant under Carrollian diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. When the local symmetries are gauge fixed these theories become Carrollian conformal field theories. We show that generically there are at least two types of such theories: one in which only time derivatives of the fields appear and the other in which both space and time derivatives appear. A classification of such scalar field theories in three (and higher) dimensions up to two derivative order is provided. We show that only a special case of our theories arises in the ultra-relativistic limit of a covariant parent theory.

This review is devoted to measure theoretical methods in the canonical quantization of scalar field theories. We present in some detail the canonical quantization of the free scalar field. We study the measures associated with the free fields and present two characterizations of the support of these measures. The first characterization concerns local properties of the quantum fields, whereas for the second one we introduce a sequence of variables that test the field behaviour at large distances, thus allowing distinguishing between the typical quantum fields associated with different values of the mass.

AbstractWe present the explicit construction of some multi-scalar field theories in $$(1+1$$ ( 1 + 1 ) dimensions supporting BPS (Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield) kink solutions. The construction is based on the ideas of the so-called extension method. In particular, several new interesting two-scalar and three-scalar field theories are explicitly constructed from non-trivial couplings between well-known one-scalar field theories. The BPS solutions of the original one-field systems will be also BPS solutions of the multi-scalar system by construction, and therefore we will analyse their linear stability properties for the constructed models.

We consider orbifolds of two-dimensional unitary toroidal superconformal field theories with target spaces of arbitrary dimensions, where the orbifold group involves the space–time fermion number operator. We construct all so-called superaffine, orbifold prime and super-M-orbifold models by generalizing the constructions of Dixon, Ginsparg and Harvey. We also correct claims made by Dixon, Ginsparg and Harvey about multicritical points among those models with central charge [Formula: see text].
