We use the background field method to systematically derive CFT data for the critical $phi^6$ vector model in three dimensions, and the Gross-Neveu model in dimensions $2leq d leq 4$. Specifically, we calculate the OPE coefficients and anomalous dimensions of various operators, up to next-to-leading order in the $1/N$ expansion.

We study interacting critical UV regime of the long-range $O(N)$ vector model with quartic coupling. Analyzing CFT data within the scope of $epsilon$- and $1/N$-expansion, we collect evidence for the equivalence of this model and the critical IR limi t of the cubic model coupled to a generalized free field $O(N)$ vector multiplet.
We present a reformulation of the background field method for Yang-Mills type theories, based on using a superalgebra of generators of BRST and background field transformations. The new approach enables one to implement and consistently use non-linea r gauges in a natural way, by using the requirement of invariance of the fermion gauge-fixing functional under the background field transformations.
We study the chiral Ising, the chiral XY and the chiral Heisenberg models at four-loop order with the perturbative renormalization group in $4-epsilon$ dimensions and compute critical exponents for the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa fixed points to order $mathca l{O}(epsilon^4)$. Further, we provide Pade estimates for the correlation length exponent, the boson and fermion anomalous dimension as well as the leading correction to scaling exponent in 2+1 dimensions. We also confirm the emergence of supersymmetric field theories at four loops for the chiral Ising and the chiral XY models with $N=1/4$ and $N=1/2$ fermions, respectively. Furthermore, applications of our results relevant to various quantum transitions in the context of Dirac and Weyl semimetals are discussed, including interaction-induced transitions in graphene and surface states of topological insulators.

We show that in a spontaneously broken effective gauge field theory, quantized in a general background $R_xi$-gauge, also the background fields undergo a non-linear (albeit background-gauge invariant) field redefinition induced by radiative correctio ns. This redefinition proves to be crucial in order to renormalize the coupling constants of gauge-invariant operators in a gauge-independent way. The classical background-quantum splitting is also in general non-linearly deformed (in a non gauge-invariant way) by radiative corrections. Remarkably, such deformations vanish in the Landau gauge, to all orders in the loop expansion.
We construct explicitly the canonical transformation that controls the full dependence (local and non-local) of the vertex functional of a Yang-Mills theory on a background field. After showing that the canonical transformation found is nothing but a direct field-theoretic generalization of the Lie transform of classical analytical mechanics, we comment on a number of possible applications, and in particular the non perturbative implementation of the background field method on the lattice, the background field formulation of the two particle irreducible formalism, and, finally, the formulation of the Schwinger-Dyson series in the presence of topologically non-trivial configurations.
