چکیده
We investigate numerically and analytically Potts models on " thin " random graphs – generic Feynman diagrams, using the idea that such models may be expressed as the N → 1 limit of a matrix model. The thin random graphs in this limit are locally tree-like, in distinction to the " fat " random graphs that appear in the planar Feynman diagram limit, N → ∞, more familiar from discretized models of two dimensional gravity. The interest of the thin graphs is that they give mean field theory behaviour for spin models living on them without infinite range interactions or the boundary problems of genuine tree-like structures such as the Bethe lattice. q-state Potts models display a first order transition in the mean field for q > 2, so the thin graph Potts models provide a useful test case for exploring discontinuous transitions in mean field theories in which many quantities can be calculated explicitly in the saddle point approximation. Such discontinuous transitions also appear in multiple Ising models on thin graphs and may have implications for the use of the replica trick in spin glass models on random graphs.

We study a field–theoretical analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm effect in two-, threeand four-dimensional Abelian Higgs models; the corresponding topological interaction is proportional to the linking number of the Abrikosov vortex and the particle world trajectories. We show that the Aharonov–Bohm effect gives rise to a nontrivial interaction of tested charged particles. The numerical calculations ...

Problems that arise in the application of general prescriptions of the so-called strategy of regions for asymptotic expansions of Feynman in-tegrals in various limits of momenta and masses are discussed with the help of characteristic examples of two-loop diagrams. The strategy is also reformulated in the language of alpha parameters.

Three programs are presented for automatically generating and calculating Feynman diagrams: the diagrams are generated with FeynArts, algebraically simplified with FormCalc, and finally evaluated numerically using the LoopTools package. The calculations are performed analytically as far as possible, with results given in a form well suited for numerical evaluation. The latter is then straightfo...

We compare the Bakamjian-Thomas (BT) formulation of relativistic few-body systems with light front field theories that maintain closer contact with Feynman diagrams. We find that Feynman diagrams distinguish Melosh rotations and other kinematical quantities belonging to various composite subsystem frames that correspond to different loop integrals. The BT formalism knows only the rest frame of ...
