Classical Motion

Starting from a difference equation corresponding to the harmonic oscillator, we discuss various properties of the classical motion (cycles, conserved quantity, boundedness, continuum limit) when the dynamical variables take their values on Galois or p-adic fields. We show that these properties can be applied as a technical tool to calculate the motion on the real numbers. On the other hand, we also give an example where the motions over Galois and p-adic fields have a direct physical interpretation. Some perspectives for quantum field theory and strings are briefly discussed.

We show that a recent analysis in the strong coupling limit of the λϕ4 theory proves that this theory is indeed trivial giving in this limit the expansion of a free quantum field theory. We can get in this way the propagator with the renormalization constant and the renormalized mass. As expected the theory in this limit has the same spectrum as a harmonic oscillator. Some comments about triviality of the Yang–Mills theory in the infrared are also given.

Insight Into

In this review we study the elementary structure of Conformal Field Theory in which is a recipe for further studies of critical behavior of various systems in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. We briefly review CFT in dimensions which plays a prominent role for example in the well-known duality AdS/CFT in string theory where the CFT lives on the AdS boundary. We also describe the mapping of the theory from the cylinder to a complex plane which will help us gain an insight into the process of radial quantization and radial ordering. Finally we will develop the representation of the Virasoro algebra which is the well-known "Verma module".
