Renormalization of Higher Derivative Operators in the Matrix Model

چکیده
M -theory is believed to be described in various dimensions by large N field theories. It has been further conjectured that at finite N , these theories describe the discrete light cone quantization (DLCQ) of M theory. Even at low energies, this is not necessarily the same thing as the DLCQ of supergravity. It is believed that this is only the case for quantities which are protected by non-renormalization theorems. In 0 + 1 and 1 + 1 dimensions, we provide further evidence of a non-renormalization theorem for the v terms, but also give evidence that there are not such theorems at order v and higher. These results are compatible with known facts about the matrix model.

A NUMERICAL RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH FOR AN ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTION
A finite chain calculation in terms of Hubbard X-operators is explored by setting up a vibronic Harniltonian. The model conveniently transformed into a form so that in the case of strong coupling a numerical renormalization group approach is applicable. To test the technique, a one particle Green function is calculated for the model Harniltonian

Theoretically, in order to describe the behavior of a spectrum, a mathematical model whichcould predict the spectrum characteristics is needed. Since in this study a Two-state system has beenused like models which was introduced previously past and could couple with the environment, theformer ideas have been extended in this study. we use the second quantized version for writing thisHamiltonian...
متن کاملSome Non-Renormalization Theorems For Higher Derivative Operators
It has been argued that a certain large N matrix model may provide a non-perturbative definition of M -theory. This model is the reduction to 0+1 dimensions of ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. It is crucial to this identification that terms with four derivatives in the effective action for the quantum mechanics should not be renormalized. We offer a perturbative proof of this r...
متن کاملConstraints on Higher Derivative Operators in the Matrix Theory Effective Lagrangian
The consistency of Matrix theory with supergravity requires that in the large Nc limit terms of order v in the SU(Nc) Matrix effective potential are not renormalized beyond one loop in perturbation theory. For SU(2) gauge group, the required non-renormalization theorem was proven recently by Paban, Sethi and Stern. In this paper we consider the constraints supersymmetry imposes on these terms f...
متن کاملConvergence of derivative expansions of the renormalization group
We investigate the convergence of the derivative expansion of the exact renormalization group, by using it to compute the β function of scalar λφ theory. We show that the derivative expansion of the Polchinski flow equation converges at one loop for certain fast falling smooth cutoffs. The derivative expansion of the Legendre flow equation trivially converges at one loop, but also at two loops:...
