Short distance behaviour of correlators in the 2D Ising model in a magnetic field

Abstract

We study the spin-spin, spin-energy and energy-energy correlators in the 2d Ising model perturbed by a magnetic field. We compare the results of a set of high precision Montecarlo simulations with the predictions of two different approximations: the Form Factor approach, based on the exact S-matrix description of the model, and a short distance perturbative expansion around the conformal point. Both methods give very good results, the first one performs better for distances larger than the correlation length, while the second one is more precise for distances smaller than the correlation length. In order to improve this agreement we extend the perturbative analysis to the second order in the derivatives of the OPE constants.

Euler-Heisenberg actions in higher dimensions

Using Schwinger's proper-time formalism, we compute the one-loop effective action in both spinor and scalar quantum electrodynamics in $d=2n>4$ dimensions using algebraic techniques. We derive the closed form expression for the corresponding Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian, and extract its weak-field approximation in 6, 8 and 10 dimensions in terms of invariants of the electromagnetic field. A subsequent analysis of pair production in $d$ dimensions is given. We also elaborate on conformal actions for the electromagnetic field in $d=2n>4$ dimensions. In the $d=6$ and 8 cases, such actions are generated by DeWitt's coefficients $a_3$ and $a_4$ which, for completeness, are re-computed in this work for spinor QED and scalar QED, respectively.

Finite-time memory detectors and fully constraining Faddeev-Kulish dressings in QED and gravity

We show that for both QED and perturbative quantum gravity, time dependent Faddeev-Kulish dressings can be fully constrained either by symmetry, or by demanding that they reproduce the correct outgoing classical memory contribution. For gravity, we show that using this dressing to construct finite-time Fock spaces allows us to recover both the first order gravitational memory, as well as higher order Christodoulou contributions from the gravitational field. We explain how these higher order perturbative corrections arise in inclusive in-in calculations.

Effect of $ξRϕ^2$ non-minimal coupling on gravitational light bending

We investigate the bending of massless fields by a massive object in the presence of a curvature-scalar $\sqrt{-g}ξR ϕ^2$ non-minimal coupling up to one loop, using the perturbative quantum gravity computations. It is well known that without such coupling a self interacting scalar field theory cannot be renormalised in the presence of gravity. The massive object is modelled by a massive scalar $ϕ$, and it is assumed to be non-relativistic, e.g., a star. We compute the 2-2 scattering of massless scalar and photons off this object via graviton exchanges. Assuming both $ξ$ and the bending angle to be small, we use the eikonal approximation to compute the angle up to ${\cal O}(ξG^2)$. At tree level $({\cal O}(ξG))$ we find no bending, and hence the ${\cal O}(ξG^2)$ result happens to be leading in this case. The non-minimal vertices are qualitatively different from that of the standard minimal ones, e.g. $ \sqrt{G} h_{μν} T^{μν}$, as the former contains explicit momenta of the gravitons instead of the scalar, complementing the second. The bending angle is found to behave like $\sim b^{-7}$, where $b$ is the impact parameter. We have emphasised the qualitative differences of our results from that of the well studied minimal case.
