Strong coupling analysis of the large-N 2-d lattice chiral models
Two dimensional large-N chiral models on the square and honeycomb lattices are investigated by a strong coupling analysis. Strong coupling expansion turns out to be predictive for the evaluation of continuum physical quantities, to the point of showing asymptotic scaling. Indeed in the strong coupling region a quite la...

Two-loop relation between the bare lattice coupling and the MSbar coupling in pure SU(N) gauge theories

Computation of the relation between the bare lattice coupling and the MSbar coupling in SU(N) gauge theories to two loops
The perturbation expansion of the MSbar coupling in the SU(N) gauge theory in powers of the bare lattice coupling is extended to two-loop order. A discussion of our results has already been published elsewhere. We here describe the calculation in some detail. It relies on the background field technique and a recently i...

Singular Vertices in the Strong Coupling Phase of Four--Dimensional Simplicial Gravity
We study four--dimensional simplicial gravity through numerical simulation with special attention to the existence of singular vertices, in the strong coupling phase, that are shared by abnormally large numbers of four--simplices.

Phase diagram of Regge quantum gravity coupled to SU(2) gauge theory
We analyze Regge quantum gravity coupled to SU(2) gauge theory on $4^3\times 2$, $6^{3}\times 4$ and $8^{3}\times 4$ simplicial lattices. It turns out that the window of the well-defined phase of the gravity sector where geometrical expectation values are stable extends to negative gravitational couplings as well as to...

Two loop expansion of the Schroedinger functional coupling alpha_SF in SU(3) lattice gauge theory
The two loop coefficient of the expansion of the Schroedinger functional coupling in terms of the lattice coupling is calculated for the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. This coefficient is required to relate lattice data to the MS-bar-coupling. As a byproduct of the calculation, the Schroedinger functional is improved to two ...

Hamiltonian domain wall fermions at strong coupling
We apply strong-coupling perturbation theory to gauge theories containing domain-wall fermions in Shamir's surface version.

Center Vortices at Strong Couplings and All Couplings
Motivations for the center vortex theory of confinement are discussed. In particular, it is noted that the abelian dual Meissner effect, which is the signature of dual superconductivity, cannot adequately describe the confining force at large distance scales. A long-range effective action is derived from strong-couplin...

Phase Structure of the 5D Abelian Higgs Model with Anisotropic Couplings
We establish the phase diagram of the five-dimensional anisotropic Abelian Higgs model by mean field techniques and Monte Carlo simulations. The anisotropy is encoded in the gauge couplings as well as in the Higgs couplings. In addition to the usual bulk phases (confining, Coulomb and Higgs) we find four-dimensional ``...

Investigation of gauge-fixed pure U(1) theory at strong coupling
We numerically investigate the phase diagram of pure U(1) gauge theory with gauge fixing at strong gauge coupling. The FM-FMD phase transition, which proved useful in defining Abelian lattice chiral gauge theory, persists also at strong gauge coupling. However, there the transition seems no to be longer continuous. At ...

Domain-Wall Fermions at Strong Coupling
The DWF formulation becomes increasingly problematic at gauge couplings for which $a^{-1}<2$ GeV, where the roughness of the gauge field leads to increased explicit chiral symmetry breaking ($\mres$). This problem becomes especially severe for sufficiently strong coupling where the underlying 4-dimensional Wilson theor...

Running coupling of 2-flavor QCD at zero and finite temperature
We present lattice studies of the running coupling in 2-flavor QCD. The coupling at zero temperature (T=0) is extracted from Wilson loops while the coupling at finite temperature ($T\neq0$) is determined from Polyakov loop correlation functions.

The spectrum of lattice QCD with staggered fermions at strong coupling
Using 4 flavors of staggered fermions at infinite gauge coupling, we compare various analytic results for the hadron spectrum with exact Monte Carlo simulations. Agreement with Ref. \cite{Martin_etal} is very good, at the level of a few percent. Our results give credence to a discrepancy between the baryon mass and t...

CP Violating Form Factors for Three Gauge Boson Vertex in the Two Higgs Doublet and Left-Right symmetric Models
In this paper we calculate the one loop contributions to the CP violating three gauge boson couplings in two-Higgs doublet and Left--Right symmetric models. In the two-Higgs doublet model only a P conserving and CP violating coupling is generated, and it can be large as $10^{-3}$. In the Left--Right symmetric model bot...

Anomalous $WWZ$ couplings and $K_L\rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$
We study contributions to $K_L \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ from anomalous $WWZ$ interactions. There are, in general, seven anomalous couplings. Among the seven anomalous couplings, only two of them contribute significantly. The others are suppressed by factors like $m_s^2/M_W^2$, $m_d^2$, or $m_K^2/M_W^2$. Using the experi...

Anomalous Vector-Boson Couplings in Majorana Neutrino Models
We examine the contributions of Majorana neutrinos to CP-violating WWZ and ZZZ self-couplings, using a model in which sterile neutrinos couple to the W and Z by mixing with a fourth-generation heavy lepton. We find that the induced form factors can be as large as 0.5%. The model satisfies all phenomenological bounds in...

Bounds on Anomalous Gauge Boson Couplings From Partial Z Widths at LEP
We place bounds on anomalous gauge boson couplings from LEP data with particular emphasis on those couplings which do not contribute to $Z$ decays at tree level.

The presence of such couplings leads in a natural way to an increase of this width relative to the prediction of the standard model. Various strategies of a direct search for suc...

Violation of SUSY equivalence in triple gauge boson and gaugino couplings

However if SUSY is broken and some of the superpartners have large SUSY breaking masses then they can induce non-decoupling deviations in this relation through radiative corrections. In t...

We analyze how the spectrum of perturbations produced in a multi-component modular inflation model proposed by Kadota and Stewart depends on couplings between the two moduli. Although some simple direct couplings give essentially the same results as the original model, $dn/d\ln k \propto n-1$, simple indirect couplings...

Interaction of Tachyons and Discrete States in c=1 2-D Quantum Gravity
The two-dimensional (2-D) quantum gravity coupled to the conformal matter with $c=1$ is studied. We obtain all the three point couplings involving tachyons and/or discrete states via operator product expansion. We find that cocycle factors are necessary and construct them explicitly. We obtain an effective action for t...

Moduli Corrections to Gravitational Couplings from String loops
We study moduli dependent threshold corrections to gravitational couplings in the case of the heterotic string compactified on a symmetric orbifold, for untwisted moduli, extending previous analysis on gauge couplings. Like in the gauge case, the contribution comes entirely from the spacetime $N=2$ sector. As a byprodu...

Matter Coupling and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Topological Gravity
Matter is coupled to three-dimensional gravity such that the topological phase is allowed and the (anti-) de Sitter or Poincar\'e symmetry remains intact. Spontaneous symmetry breaking to the Lorentz group occurs if a scalar field is included. This Higgs field can then be used to couple matter so that the familiar form...

Exactly Marginal Operators and Running Coupling Constants in 2D Gravity
The Liouville action for two--dimensional quantum gravity coupled to interacting matter contains terms that have not been considered previously. They are crucial for understanding the renormalization group flow and can be observed in recent matrix model results for the phase diagram of the Sine--Gordon model coupled to...

Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles, elementary couplings and fusion rules
We present a general scheme for describing su(N)_k fusion rules in terms of elementary couplings, using Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. A fusion coupling is characterized by its corresponding tensor product coupling (i.e. its Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangle) and the threshold level at which it first appears. We show th...

Mirror Symmetry for Hypersurfaces in Weighted Projective Space and Topological Couplings
By means of toric geometry we study hypersurfaces in weighted projective space of dimension four. In particular we compute for a given manifold its intrinsic topological coupling. We find that the result agrees with the calculation of the corresponding coupling on the mirror model in the large complex structure limit.

A Study of Fermions Coupled to Gauge and Gravitational Fields on a Cylinder
Fermions on a cylinder coupled to gravity and gauge fields are examined by studying the geometric action associated with the symmetries of such a system. The gauge coupling constant is shown to be constrained and the effect of gravity on the masses is discussed. Furthermore, we introduce a new gravitational theory whic...

Conformal Invariance of Interacting WZNW Models
We consider two level $k$ WZNW models coupled to each other through a generalized Thirring-like current-current interaction. It is shown that in the large $k$ limit, this interacting system can be presented as a two-parameter perturbation around a nonunitary WZNW model. The perturbation operators are the sigma model ki...

Unification of the Soluble Two-dimensional vector coupling models
The general theory of a massless fermion coupled to a massive vector meson in two dimensions is formulated and solved to obtain the complete set of Green's functions. Both vector and axial vector couplings are included. In addition to the boson mass and the two coupling constants, a coefficient which denotes a particul...

Towards a Strong Coupling Liouville Gravity
A possibility of strong coupling quantum Liouville gravity is investigated via infinite dimensional representations of $\qslc$ with $q$ at a root of unity. It is explicitly shown that vertex operator in this model can be written by a tensor product of a vertex operator of the classical Liouville theory and that of weak...

Double expansion in asymptotically free theories
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 ex...

STRINGY EVIDENCE FOR D=11 STRUCTURE IN STRONGLY COUPLED TYPE II-A SUPERSTRING
Witten proposed that the low energy physics of strongly coupled D=10 type-IIA superstring may be described by D=11 supergravity. To explore the stringy aspects of the underlying theory we examine the stringy massive states. We propose a systematic formula for identifying non-perturbative states in D=10 type-IIA superst...

Dilaton Gravity Coupled to a Nonlinear Sigma Model in $2+ε$ Dimensions
Quantum theory of dilaton gravity coupled to a nonlinear sigma model with a maximally symmetric target space is studied in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions. The ultraviolet stable fixed point for the curvature of the nonlinear sigma model demands a new fixed point theory for the dilaton coupling function. The fixed point of the...

THE NEW PHYSICS OF STRONGLY COUPLED 2D GRAVITY
The strong coupling physics of two dimensional gravity at $C=7$, $13$, $19$ is summarized. It is based on a new set of local fields which do not preserve chirality. Thus this quantum number becomes ``deconfined'' in the strongly coupled regime. This new set leads to a novel definition of the area elements, and hence to...

Using scalar self-interacting theory as an example, we study the influence of the boundary effects to effective equations of motion in spherical cap and the relevance of surface running coupli...

Strong coupling regime in two-dimensional large-N scalar quantum chromodynamics
Two-dimensional large-$N$ quantum chromodynamics with scalar quarks is considered with particular emphasis on its strong coupling regime which has not been studied so far. Techniques necessary to deal with the infinitely oscillatory bound state wave functions in the strong coupling regime are developed. I derive an est...

Reduction of Coupling Parameters
The general theory of the reduction in the number of coupling parameters is discussed. The method involves renormalization group invariant relations between couplings. It is more general than the imposition of symmetries. There are reduced theories with no known symmetry. The reduction scheme is finding many applicatio...

Prepotentials of N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills theories coupled with massive matter multiplets
We discuss N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge theories coupled with N_f (=2,3) massive hypermultiplets in the weak coupling limit. We determine the exact massive prepotentials and the monodromy matrices around the weak coupling limit. We also study that the double scaling limit of these massive theories and find that the massi...

Is the String Coupling Constant invariant under T-duality?
It is well known that under T-duality the sigma model dilaton (which is normally thought to be related to the string coupling constant through the simple formula $\kappa = exp <\phi >$), undergoes an additive shift. On the other hand, Kugo and Zwiebach, using a simplified form of string field theory, claim that the str...

Exact Renormalization Group and Running Newtonian Coupling in Higher Derivative Gravity
We discuss exact renormalization group (RG) in $R^2$-gravity using effective average action formalism. The truncated evolution equation for such a theory on De Sitter background leads to the system of nonperturbative RG equations for cosmological and gravitational coupling constants. Approximate solution of these RG eq...

Integrability of Coupled Conformal Field Theories
The massive phase of two-layer integrable systems is studied by means of RSOS restrictions of affine Toda theories. A general classification of all possible integrable perturbations of coupled minimal models is pursued by an analysis of the (extended) Dynkin diagrams. The models considered in most detail are coupled mi...

A Solvable Model of Two-Dimensional Dilaton-Gravity Coupled to a Massless Scalar Field
We present a solvable model of two-dimensional dilaton-gravity coupled to a massless scalar field. We locally integrate the field equations and briefly discuss the properties of the solutions. For a particular choice of the coupling between the dilaton and the scalar field the model can be interpreted as the two-dimens...

Vortex Solutions of Four-fermion Theory coupled to a Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons Gauge Field
We have constructed a four-fermion theory coupled to a Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons gauge field which admits static multi-vortex solutions. This is achieved through the introduction of an anomalous magnetic interation term in addition to the usual minimal coupling, and the appropriate choice of the fermion quartic coupling ...

Quantum modified moduli spaces and field dependent gauge couplings
In this paper we discuss quantum modified moduli spaces in supergravity. We examine a model suggested by Izawa and Yanagida and by Intriligator and Thomas that breaks global supersymmetry by a quantum deformation of the classical moduli space. We determine the minimum of the supergravity potential when the gauge coupli...

Axial and gauge anomalies in a theory with one and two-form gauge fields
We study the problem of axial and gauge anomalies in a reducible theory involving vector and tensor gauge fields coupled in a topological way. We consider that vector and axial fermionic currents couple with the tensor field in the same topological manner as the vector gauge one. This kind of coupling leads to an anoma...

Cosmic Strings in the Abelian Higgs Model with Conformal Coupling to Gravity
Cosmic string solutions of the abelian Higgs model with conformal coupling to gravity are shown to exist. The main characteristics of the solutions are presented and the differences with respect to the minimally coupled case are studied. An important difference is the absence of Bogomolnyi cosmic string solutions for c...
