We study a simple model for which perturbation theory gives ultravioletly divergent results. We show that when the eigen-solution problem of the Hamiltonian of the model is treated nonperturbatively, it is possible for eigenenergies of the Hamiltonian to be finite.

We show that to n loop order the divergent content of a Feynman amplitude is spanned by a set of basic (logarithmically divergent) integrals which need not be evaluated. Only the coefficients of the basic divergent integrals are necessary to determin
e renormalization group functions. Relations between these coefficients of different loop orders are derived.
Perturbation theory is a crucial tool for many physical systems, when exact solutions are not available, or nonperturbative numerical solutions are intractable. Naive perturbation theory often fails on long timescales, leading to secularly growing so
lutions. These divergences have been treated with a variety of techniques, including the powerful dynamical renormalization group (DRG). Most of the existing DRG approaches rely on having analytic solutions up to some order in perturbation theory. However, sometimes the equations can only be solved numerically. We reformulate the DRG in the language of differential geometry, which allows us to apply it to numerical solutions of the background and perturbation equations. This formulation also enables us to use the DRG in systems with background parameter flows, and therefore, extend our results to any order in perturbation theory. As an example, we apply this method to calculate the soliton-like solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation deformed by adding a small damping term. We numerically construct DRG solutions which are valid on secular time scales, long after naive perturbation theory has broken down.
A lagrangian which describes interactions between a soliton and a background field is derived for sigma models whose target is a symmetric space. The background field modifies the usual moduli space approximation to soliton dynamics in two ways: by i
ntroducing a potential energy, and by inducing a Kaluza-Klein metric on the moduli space. In the particular case of the Skyrme model, this lagrangian is quantised and shown to agree with the leading pion-nucleon term in the chiral effective lagrangian, which is widely used in theoretical nuclear physics. Thus chiral perturbation theory could be considered a low energy limit of the Skyrme model.
The properties of strongly gravitating systems suggest that field theory overcounts the states of a system. Reducing the number of degrees of freedom, without abandoning the notion of effective field theory, may be achieved through a connection betwe
en the ultraviolet and infrared cutoffs. We provide an implementation of this idea within the Wilsonian approach to the renormalization group. We derive an exact flow equation that describes the evolution of the effective action. We discuss the implications for the existence of infrared fixed points and the running of couplings. We also give an alternative derivation in the context of the perturbative renormalization group.
After a short introduction to Matrix theory, we explain how can one generalize matrix models to describe toroidal compactifications of M-theory and the heterotic vacua with 16 supercharges. This allows us, for the first time in history, to derive the
conventional perturbative type IIA string theory known in the 80s within a complete and consistent nonperturbative framework, using the language of orbifold conformal field theory and conformal perturbation methods. A separate chapter is dedicated to the vacua with Horava-Witten domain walls that carry E8 gauge supermultiplets. Those reduce the gauge symmetry of the matrix model from U(N) to O(N). We also explain why these models contain open membranes. The compactification of M-theory on T4 involves the so-called (2,0) superconformal field theory in six dimensions, compactified on T5. A separate chapter describes an interesting topological contribution to the low energy equations of motion on the Coulomb branch of the (2,0) theory that admits a skyrmionic solution that we call ``knitting fivebranes. Then we return to the orbifolds of Matrix theory and construct a formal classical matrix model of the Scherk-Schwarz compactification of M-theory and type IIA string theory as well as type 0 theories. We show some disastrous consequences of the broken supersymmetry. Last two chapters describe a hyperbolic structure of the moduli spaces of one-dimensional M-theory.
