The quantum extension of classical finite elements, referred to as quantum finite elements ({bf QFE})~cite{Brower:2018szu,Brower:2016vsl}, is applied to the radial quantization of 3d $phi^4$ theory on a simplicial lattice for the $mathbb R times mathbb S^2$ manifold. Explicit counter terms to cancel the one- and two-loop ultraviolet defects are implemented to reach the quantum continuum theory. Using the Brower-Tamayo~cite{Brower:1989mt} cluster Monte Carlo algorithm, numerical results support the QFE ansatz that the critical conformal field theory (CFT) is reached in the continuum with the full isometries of $mathbb R times mathbb S^2$ restored. The Ricci curvature term, while technically irrelevant in the quantum theory, is shown to dramatically improve the convergence opening, the way for high precision Monte Carlo simulation to determine the CFT data: operator dimensions, trilinear OPE couplings and the central charge.
The tensor renormalization group attracts great attention as a new numerical method that is free of the sign problem. In addition to this striking feature, it also has an attractive aspect as a coarse-graining of space-time; the computational cost scales logarithmically with the space-time volume. This fact allows us to aggressively approach the thermodynamic limit. While taking this advantage, we study the critical coupling of the two dimensional $phi^{4}$ theory on large and fine lattices. We present the numerical results along with the extrapolation procedure to the continuum limit and compare them with the previous ones by Monte Carlo simulations.
We compute numerically the effective potential for the $(lambda Phi^4)_4$ theory on the lattice. Three different methods were used to determine the critical bare mass for the chosen bare coupling value. Two different methods for obtaining the effective potential were used as a control on the results. We compare our numerical results with three theoretical descriptions. Our lattice data are in quite good agreement with the ``Triviality and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking picture.
In this contribution we present an exploratory study of several novel methods for numerical stochastic perturbation theory. For the investigation we consider observables defined through the gradient flow in the simple {phi}^4 theory.
We make a detailed analysis of the spontaneous $Z_{2}$-symmetry breaking in the two dimensional real $phi^{4}$ theory with the tensor renormalization group approach, which allows us to take the thermodynamic limit easily and determine the physical observables without statistical uncertainties. We determine the critical coupling in the continuum limit employing the tensor network formulation for scalar field theories proposed in our previous paper. We obtain $left[ lambda / mu_{mathrm{c}}^{2} right]_{mathrm{cont.}} = 10.913(56)$ with the quartic coupling $lambda$ and the renormalized critical mass $mu_{mathrm{c}}$. The result is compared with previous results obtained by different approaches.
Worm methods to simulate the Ising model in the Aizenman random current representation including a low noise estimator for the connected four point function are extended to allow for antiperiodic boundary conditions. In this setup several finite size renormalization schemes are formulated and studied with regard to the triviality of phi^4 theory in four dimensions. With antiperiodicity eliminating the zero momentum Fourier mode a closer agreement with perturbation theory is found compared to the periodic torus.
