Non-perturbative renormalization for lattice massive QED$_2$: the ultraviolet problem

We consider a lattice regularization, preserving Ward Identities (WI) and with a Wilson term, of the Massive QED$_2$, describing a fermion with mass $m$ and charge $\mathsf{e}$ interacting with a vector field with mass $M$, in the regime $m\ll M\ll a^{-1}$ ($a$ being the lattice spacing) which is the suitable one to mimic a realistic 4d massive gauge theory like the Electroweak sector. The presence of the lattice and of the mass $m$ breaks any solvability property. In this paper we prove that the effective action obtained after the integration of the ultraviolet degrees of freedom is expressed by expansions which are convergent for values of the coupling $|\mathsf{e}|\le \mathsf{e}_0$, with $\mathsf{e}_0$ independent on $a$ and $m$, and with cut-off-independent bare parameters. By combining this result with the analysis of the infrared part in previous papers we get a complete construction of the model and a number of properties whose analogous are expected to hold in 4d. The analysis is done by integrating out the bosons and reducing to a fermionic theory; however, with respect to the case with momentum regularizations (which break essential features like the WI), the resulting effective fermionic action has not a simple form and this requires the developments of new methods to get the necessary bounds.

Weakly non-planar dimers

We study a model of fully-packed dimer configurations (or perfect matchings) on a bipartite periodic graph that is two-dimensional but not planar. The graph is obtained from $\mathbb Z^2$ via the addition of an extensive number of extra edges that break planarity (but not bipartiteness). We prove that, if the weight $\lambda$ of the non-planar edges is small enough, a suitably defined height function scales on large distances to the Gaussian Free Field with a $\lambda$-dependent amplitude, that coincides with the anomalous exponent of dimer-dimer correlations. Because of non-planarity, Kasteleyn's theory does not apply: the model is not integrable. Rather, we map the model to a system of interacting lattice fermions in the Luttinger universality class, which we then analyze via fermionic Renormalization Group methods.
