Is Nelson-Symanzik positivity compatible with fermionic statistics?

Since the product of real numbers is commutative, for any permutation $\sigma$, $$ \int_{S'}\phi(f_{\sigma(1)})\cdots\phi(f_{\sigma(n)})\ d\mu(\phi)= \int_{S'}\phi(f_{1})\cdots\phi(f_{n})\ d\mu(\phi) …

(Lattice approximation) Does UV stability lead to continuum limit of a subsequence?

I am not aware of a theorem which has UV stability as a hypothesis and delivers the construction of a continuum limit, even modulo taking subsequences. UV stability is just a combination of suitable u …

How to calculate an integral over the complex unit sphere

My formula in the comment for $\|z\|=1$, was obtained as follows. First note that the integral is well defined in $[0,\infty]$, and by monotone convergence, is given by $$ \int_{S^{2n-1}}\frac{1}{|1-\ …

Reference request: Gaussian measures on duals of nuclear spaces

There is a choice to be made here: working with Banach spaces or with spaces of distributions like $\mathscr{S}'(\mathbb{R}^d)$. There are pros and cons for each of these two settings. Let me stick to …

Determinant of the random matrix $X^2+Y^2$

This is easy to do using a graphical calculus for contractions of old-fashioned tensors. See this recent article for an example of application of such techniques and hopefully useful references. Here …

Expectation of a function of two entries of an isotropic unit vector $\mathbb{E}_{\mathbf{w}...

This is easy to compute using techniques from perturbative quantum field theory, i.e., Wick's Theorem (due to Isserlis) for moments of Gaussian measures. Consider $$ (2\pi)^{-\frac{p}{2}}\int_{\mathbb …

"Practical" use of time-continuous stochastic processes like Wiener process or Poisson (poin...

I could add a couple things to the already existing good answers. Continuous time processes are not that bad/that much more difficult to define or to simulate numerically in practice. For a Markov ch …

What is a cumulant really?

Cumulants have many other names depending on the context (statistics, quantum field theory, statistical mechanics,...): seminvariants, truncated correlation functions, connected correlation functions, …

Integration of a function over 7-sphere

The result is $$ I(k)=\frac{2\pi^4\ \Gamma\left(\frac{k}{2}+1\right)\Gamma\left(\frac{k}{2}+2\right)}{\Gamma(k+4)}\ , $$ which can be simplified a bit more using the Legendre Duplication Formula. More …

Bochner-Minlos for moment-generating functions?

While waiting for more context around the question, one can already mention the main definitions and tools for this topic. I will assume the space on which these probability measures live is the space …

How do you know that you have succeeded-Constructive Quantum Field Theory and Lagrangian

The axioms don't tell you what theory you constructed. For that you need to go beyond the construction of correlation functions of the elementary field $\phi$ (the basic chapter on renormalization in …

Reformulation - Construction of thermodynamic limit for GFF

For $x\in\mathbb{Z}^d$ I will denote by $\bar{x}$ the corresponding equivalence class in the discrete finite torus $\Lambda_{L}=\mathbb{Z}^d/L\mathbb{Z}^d$. I will view a field $\phi\in\mathbb{R}^{\La …

Connections between two constructions of infinite dimensional Gaussian measures

The source of the confusion is not saying explicitly what are the sets and $\sigma$-algebras the measures are supposed to be on. For example, a sentence like ''By Kolmogorov's Extension Theorem, there …

A roadmap to Hairer's theory for taming infinities

Let me comment on points 4) and 5). The problem with infinities in QFT or traditional equilibrium statistical field theory is related to the one addressed by Martin's theory but there are some differe …
