Sine-Gordon Revisited

Abstract: We study the sine-Gordon model in two dimensional space time in two different domains. For β > 8π and weak coupling, we introduce an ultraviolet cutoff and study the infrared behavior. A renormalization group analysis shows that the the model is asymptotically free in the infrared. For β < 8π and weak coupling, we introduce an infrared cutoff and study the ultraviolet behavior. A renormalization group analysis shows that the model is asymptotically free in the ultraviolet.

“…One still expects the theory to be renormalisable until β 2 = 8π, which corresponds to Φ 3 6 , Φ 4 4 and KPZ in dimension 2, at which point renormalisability breaks down. This suggests that the value β 2 = 8π is critical for (1.1) and that there is no hope to give it any non-trivial meaning beyond that, see for example [DH00,Fal12] and, in a slightly different context, [LRV13]. This heuristic (including the fact that Wick renormalisability breaks down at β 2 = 4π) is well-known and has been demonstrated in [Frö76,BGN82,Nic83,NRS86,DH00] at the level of the behaviour of the partition function for the corresponding lattice model.…”

“…Our particular line of attack is influenced by a series of works which started with [BY], developed further in [DH1,DH2,, with more recent developments in [MS]. We shall be concerned here with these latter developments.…”

“…The construction of [GK85] is particularly well suited to be used as the input of a single cluster expansion. While the more recent implementation of the renormalization group by Brydges and collaborators ([BY90, BDH95, BS15, AKM16]) has been developed in more detail and also been applied to critical phenomena of other interesting models (such as long range models below the critical dimension [BMS03,Sla18,LSW17], or the dipole gas [DH00,Fal13]), and while this method shares the intuitive inductive nature of the [GK85] argument and uses similar expansions, there are obstacles to using it as the basis of the current paper. In particular, the behavior of effective interactions at large fields is not tracked as precisely as in [GK85], and currently our method relies on such precise large field bounds.…”
