The (φ4)2 Field Theory as a Classical Ising Model
We approximate a (spatially cutoff) (φ4)2 Euclidean field theory by an ensemble of spin 1/2 Ising spins with ferromagnetic pair interactions. This approximation is used to prove a Lee-Yang theorem and GHS type correlation inequalities for the (0 4 ) 2 theory. Application of these results are presented.
متن کاملNonminimal particle-like solutions in cubic scalar field theory
The cubic scalar field theory admits the bell-shaped solitary wave solutions which can be interpreted as massive Bose particles. We rule out the nonminimal p-brane action for such a solution as the point particle with curvature. When quantizing it as the theory with higher derivatives, it is shown that the corresponding quantum equation has SU(2) dynamical symmetry group realizing the exact spi...
متن کاملContinuum theory of phase separation kinetics for active Brownian particles.
Active Brownian particles (ABPs), when subject to purely repulsive interactions, are known to undergo activity-induced phase separation broadly resembling an equilibrium (attraction-induced) gas-liquid coexistence. Here we present an accurate continuum theory for the dynamics of phase-separating ABPs, derived by direct coarse graining, capturing leading-order density gradient terms alongside an...
متن کاملPhase separation and rotor self-assembly in active particle suspensions.
Adding a nonadsorbing polymer to passive colloids induces an attraction between the particles via the "depletion" mechanism. High enough polymer concentrations lead to phase separation. We combine experiments, theory, and simulations to demonstrate that using active colloids (such as motile bacteria) dramatically changes the physics of such mixtures. First, significantly stronger interparticle ...
متن کاملΦ4 Theory Is Trivial
Perturbative study of many quantum field models has lead to many impressive results: beta functions for QED and for the Φ4 theory are known up to the fifth order whereas that of QCD up to the fourth order [1]-[7]. These studies however are based on the expansion in the small coupling constant such that the behavior at large couplings is completely missed. Although the possibility of a perturbat...
