We discuss the nature of criticality in the $beta^2 = 2 pi N$ self-dual extention of the sine-Gordon model. This field theory is related to the two-dimensional classical XY model with a N-fold degenerate symmetry-breaking field. We briefly overview the already studied cases $N=2,4$ and analyze in detail the case N=3 where a single phase transition in the three-state Potts universality class is expected to occur. The Z$_3$ infrared critical properties of the $beta^2 = 6 pi$ self-dual sine-Gordon model are derived using two non-perturbative approaches. On one hand, we map the model onto an integrable deformation of the Z$_4$ parafermion theory. The latter is known to flow to a massless Z$_3$ infrared fixed point. Another route is based on the connection with a chirally asymmetric, su(2)$_4$ $otimes$ su(2)$_1$ Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model with anisotropic current-current interaction, where we explore the existence of a decoupling (Toulouse) point.

In this work, we study the localization of the vector gauge field in two five-dimensional braneworlds generated by scalar fields coupled to gravity. The sine-Gordon like potentials are employed to produce different thick brane setups. A zero mode localized is obtained, and we show the existence of reverberations with the wave solutions indicating a quasi-localized massive mode. More interesting results are achieved when we propose a double sine-Gordon potential to the scalar field. The resulting thick brane shows a more detailed topology with the presence of an internal structure composed by two kinks. The massive spectrum of the gauge field is revalued on this scenario revealing the existence of various resonant modes. Furthermore, we compute the corrections to Coulomb law coming from these massive KK vector modes in these thick scenarios, where is concluded that the dilaton parameter regulates these corrections.
We present a numerical computation of overlaps in mass quenches in sine-Gordon quantum field theory using truncated conformal space approach (TCSA). To improve the cut-off dependence of the method, we use a novel running coupling definition which has a general applicability in free boson TCSA. The numerical results are used to confirm the validity of a previously proposed analytical Ansatz for the initial state in the sinh-Gordon quench.
In this work, we evaluate the Shannon-like entropic measure of spatially-localized functions for a five-dimensional braneworld generated by a double sine-Gordon (DSG) potential. The differential configurational entropy (DCE) has been shown in several recent works to be a configurational informational measure (CIM) that selects critical points and brings out phase transitions in confined energy models with arbitrary parameters. We select the DSG scenario because it presents an energy-degenerate spatially localized profile where the solutions to the scalar field demonstrate critical behavior that is only a result of geometrical effects. As we will show, the DCE evaluation provides a method for predicting the existence of a transition between the phases of the domain wall solutions. Moreover, the entropic measure reveals information about the model that is capable of describing the phase sector where we obtain resonance modes on the massive spectra of the graviton. The graviton resonance lifetimes are related to the existence of scales on which 4D gravity is recovered. Thus, we correlate the critical points defined by the {CIMs} with the existence of resonances and their lifetimes. To extend our research regarding this system, we calculate the corrections to Newtons Law coming from the graviton modes.
In this paper, we study a class of symmetry reduced models of $mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity using self-dual variables. It is based on a particular Ansatz for the gravitino field as proposed by DEath et al. We show that the essential part of the constraint algebra in the classical theory closes. In particular, the (graded) Poisson bracket between the left and right supersymmetry constraint reproduces the Hamiltonian constraint. For the quantum theory, we apply techniques from the manifestly supersymmetric approach to loop quantum supergravity, which yields a graded analog of the holonomy-flux algebra and a natural state space. We implement the remaining constraints in the quantum theory. For a certain subclass of these models, we show explicitly that the (graded) commutator of the supersymmetry constraints exactly reproduces the classical Poisson relations. In particular, the trace of the commutator of left and right supersymmetry constraints reproduces the Hamilton constraint operator. Finally, we consider the dynamics of the theory and compare it to a quantization using standard variables and standard minisuperspace techniques.
We study a conjecture by Fendley, Ludwig and Saleur for the nonlinear conductance in the boundary sine-Gordon model. They have calculated the perturbative series of twisted partition functions, which require particular (unphysical) imaginary values of the bias, by applying the tools of Jack symmetric functions to the log-sine Coulomb gas on a circle. We have analyzed the conjectured relation between the analytically continued free energy and the nonlinear conductance in various limits. We confirm the conjecture for weak and strong tunneling, in the classical regime, and in the zero temperature limit. We also shed light on this special variant of the ${rm Im} F$-method and compare it with the real-time Keldysh approach. In addition, we address the issue of quantum statistical fluctuations.
