Proof of Serban's conjecture

We prove Serban's conjecture which simplifies greatly the expression of the advanced single-particle Green function in the Calogero-Sutherland model. The importance of proving this conjecture is that it reorganizes the form factor in terms of two dimensional Coulomb gaz correlators and confirms the possible existence of a bosonization procedure for this system.Comment: LaTex, 29

Exact renormalization group equations and the field theoretical approach to critical phenomena

After a brief presentation of the exact renormalization group equation, we illustrate how the field theoretical (perturbative) approach to critical phenomena takes place in the more general Wilson (nonperturbative) approach. Notions such as the continuum limit and the renormalizability and the presence of singularities in the perturbative series are discussed.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the 2nd Conference on the Exact Renormalization Group, Rome 200

Random matrix analysis of the QCD sign problem for general topology

Motivated by the important role played by the phase of the fermion determinant in the investigation of the sign problem in lattice QCD at nonzero baryon density, we derive an analytical formula for the average phase factor of the fermion determinant for general topology in the microscopic limit of chiral random matrix theory at nonzero chemical potential, for both the quenched and the unquenched case. The formula is a nontrivial extension of the expression for zero topology derived earlier by Splittorff and Verbaarschot. Our analytical predictions are verified by detailed numerical random matrix simulations of the quenched theory.Comment: 33 pages, 9 figures; v2: minor corrections, references added, figures with increased statistics, as published in JHE

Parametric Representation of Noncommutative Field Theory

In this paper we investigate the Schwinger parametric representation for the Feynman amplitudes of the recently discovered renormalizable $\phi^4_4$ quantum field theory on the Moyal non commutative ${\mathbb R^4}$ space. This representation involves new {\it hyperbolic} polynomials which are the non-commutative analogs of the usual "Kirchoff" or "Symanzik" polynomials of commutative field theory, but contain richer topological information.Comment: 31 pages,10 figure

The transition between the gap probabilities from the Pearcey to the Airy process; a Riemann-Hilbert approach

We consider the gap probability for the Pearcey and Airy processes; we set up a Riemann--Hilbert approach (different from the standard one) whereby the asymptotic analysis for large gap/large time of the Pearcey process is shown to factorize into two independent Airy processes using the Deift-Zhou steepest descent analysis. Additionally we relate the theory of Fredholm determinants of integrable kernels and the theory of isomonodromic tau function. Using the Riemann-Hilbert problem mentioned above we construct a suitable Lax pair formalism for the Pearcey gap probability and re-derive the two nonlinear PDEs recently found and additionally find a third one not reducible to those.Comment: 43 pages, 7 figures.

Mixed correlation functions in the 2-matrix model, and the Bethe ansatz

Using loop equation technics, we compute all mixed traces correlation functions of the 2-matrix model to large N leading order. The solution turns out to be a sort of Bethe Ansatz, i.e. all correlation functions can be decomposed on products of 2-point functions. We also find that, when the correlation functions are written collectively as a matrix, the loop equations are equivalent to commutation relations.Comment: 38 pages, LaTex, 24 figures. misprints corrected, references added, a technical part moved to appendi

Once again on the equivalence theorem

We present the proof of the equivalence theorem in quantum field theory which is based on a formulation of this problem in the field-antifield formalism. As an example, we consider a model in which a different choices of natural finite counterterms is possible, leading to physically non-equivalent quantum theories while the equivalent theorem remains valid.Comment: 12 pages, LATEX, report number was correcte

The Regge Limit for Green Functions in Conformal Field Theory

We define a Regge limit for off-shell Green functions in quantum field theory, and study it in the particular case of conformal field theories (CFT). Our limit differs from that defined in arXiv:0801.3002, the latter being only a particular corner of the Regge regime. By studying the limit for free CFTs, we are able to reproduce the Low-Nussinov, BFKL approach to the pomeron at weak coupling. The dominance of Feynman graphs where only two high momentum lines are exchanged in the t-channel, follows simply from the free field analysis. We can then define the BFKL kernel in terms of the two point function of a simple light-like bilocal operator. We also include a brief discussion of the gravity dual predictions for the Regge limit at strong coupling.Comment: 23 pages 2 figures, v2: Clarification of relation of the Regge limit defined here and previous work in CFT.
