Double expansion in asymptotically free theories.
نویسنده
چکیده
I propose an approximation scheme for asymptotically free field theories combining both weak coupling and strong coupling series. The weak coupling expansion is used to integrate the high frequency modes and the resulting low energy effective theory is solved using the strong coupling expansion. In some models there exists an intermediate scale at which both expansions make sense. The method is tested on few low dimensional models for which an exact solution is known.

Open-closed duality and double scaling
Nonperturbative terms in the free energy of Chern-Simons gauge theory play a key role in its duality to the closed topological string. We show that these terms are reproduced by performing a double scaling limit near the point where the perturbation expansion diverges. This leads to a derivation of closed string theory from this large-N gauge theory along the lines of noncritical string theorie...
متن کاملRenormalizable Expansion for Nonrenormalizable Theories: I. Scalar Higher Dimensional Theories
We demonstrate how one can construct renormalizable perturbative expansion in formally nonrenormalizable higher dimensional scalar theories. It is based on 1/N -expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent perturbation theory in arbitrary high odd space-time dimension. The resulting effective coupling is dimensionless and is running in accordance with the usual RG equations. The corresp...
متن کاملThe Renormalization Group , Entropy , Thermodynamic Phase Transitions and Order in Quantum Field Theory
We define an entropy for a quantum field theory by combining quantum fluctuations, scaling and the maximum entropy concept. This entropy has different behavior in asymptotically free and non–asymptotically free theories. We find that the transition between the two regimes (from the asymptotically free to the non–asymptotically free) takes place via a continuous phase transition. For asymptotica...
متن کاملThe large-N expansion of unitary-matrix models
The general features of the 1/N expansion in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory are briefly reviewed both from the theoretical and from the phenomenological point of view as an introduction to a more detailed analysis of the large-N properties of spin and gauge models possessing the symmetry group SU(N )× SU(N ). An extensive discussion of the known properties of the single-link int...
