AbstractIn this talk, I will identify degeneracies in the energy spectra of quantum theories that occur at integer values of the continuous parameter N of an analytically continued global O(N) symmetry. I will first present a few examples in the critical O(N) CFT at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (d=4-epsilon) at the first order of epsilon-expansion. Then I will argue the degeneracies happen for...
Abstract:The ideas of renormalization was introduced into dynamics around 40 years ago. By now renormalization is one of the most powerful tools in the asymptotic analysis of dynamical systems. In this talk I will discuss the main conceptual features of the renormalization approach,and present a selection of recent results. I will also discuss open problems and formulate related conjectures.Sp...
