Description

I will introduce a particular zero-dimensional limit of quantum field theories -- Tropicalization (Borinsky, 2508.14263). The 4d scalar field theory with quartic interaction and 2d Sine-Gordon will be taken as two primary examples. The tropical limit is conjectured to preserve quantitatively and qualitatively certain properties of a given QFT. The main focus of the talk will be on using the Sine-Gordon model as a toy model for exploring the connection between the RG structure of the theory and its tropicalized counterpart. I will describe the results obtained so far and discuss further directions. (Work In Progress with R. Bittleston, M. Borinsky and S.R. Kannagi).
