چکیده
The properties of gauge-invariant composite operators and their correlation functions in N = 4 SYM are discussed in the analytic superspace formalism. A complete classification of the different types of operators in the theory is given. Operators can be either protected or unprotected according to whether they do not or do have anomalous dimensions, and the analytic superspace formalism allows one to identify which type a given operator is in a straightforward manner. A simple discussion is given of the behaviour of reducible multiplets at threshold. It is pointed out that there is a class of " semi-protected " operators which do not have anomalous dimensions but which do not necessarily have non-renormalised three-point functions when the other two operators in the correlator are protected, although two-point functions of such operators are non-renormalised. A complete discussion of superconformal invariants in analytic super-space is given. The paper includes a modified discussion of the transformation rules of analytic superfields which clarifies the U (1) Y properties of operators and correlation functions and, in particular, explicit examples are given of three-point correlation functions which violate this symmetry. A tensor, E, invariant under SL(n|m) but not under GL(n|m), is introduced and used in the discussion of U (1) Y and in the construction of invariants.

We find the leading RG logs in φ4 theory for any Feynman diagram with 4 external edges. We obtain the result in two ways. The first way is to calculate the relevant terms in Feynman integrals. The second way is to use the RG invariance based on the Lie algebra of graphs introduced by Connes and Kreimer. The non-RG logs, such as (ln s/t)n, are discussed.

Precision cosmological data hint that a dark energy with equation of state w = P/ρ < −1 and hence dubious stability is viable. Here we discuss for any w nucleation from Λ > 0 to Λ = 0 in a first-order phase transition. The critical radius is argued to be at least of galactic size and the corresponding nucleation rate glacial, thus underwriting the dark energy’s stability and rendering remote an...

We study closed N = 2 strings on orbifolds of the form T /Z2 and C /Z2. We compute the torus partition function and prove its modular invariance. We analyze the BRST cohomology of the theory, construct the vertex operators, and compute three and four point amplitudes of twisted and untwisted states. We introduce a background of D-branes, and compute twist states correlators.
