Nonadditivity in Quantum Field Theory: Replica Energies, Scaling Filters, and the Renormalization Group
Giacomo Santoni, Francesco Scardino
Extensive systems have a simple thermodynamic signature: the dimensionless canonical free energy scales homogeneously with the size of the system. We show that the failure of this…
The scheme independent 3-sphere free energy is not a monotone F-function
Giacomo Santoni, Francesco Scardino
We study the natural scheme-independent quantity obtained from the three-sphere partition function of a -dimensional quantum field theory by removing all local counterterm a…
Baryons, Skyrmions and -periodicity anomaly in chiral and vector-like gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Andrea Luzio, Giacomo Santoni
In this paper, we study the baryons and solitons of chiral and vector-like gauge theories with matter in mixed one and two-index representations. Focusing on the Color-flav…
Twistor Wilson loops in large- Yang-Mills theory
Marco Bochicchio, Giacomo Santoni
It has been known for many years that, in Yang-Mills theories with supersymmetry, certain nontrivial supersymmetric Wilson loops exist with v.e.v. either triv…
