Cover Story: Generations of physicists have been hesitant to explore the Landau pole in quantum field theory, partly for psychological rather than scientific reasons. This work is an expedition for the intrepid physicist to explore the Landau pole in scalar field theories without historical prejudice. Using a combination of basic mathematical tools such as analytic continuation and the method of steepest descent, I show that the Landau pole in certain scalar field theories is benign, and life at the Landau pole is possible. In particular, this work challenges the myths that scalar field theories in four dimensions cannot be asymptotically free or that these theories have to be quantum trivial. View this paper

  • Precious Sibanda,
  • Sicelo P. Goqo,
  • Uthman O. Rufai,
  • Hloniphile Sithole Mthethwa and
  • Osman A. I. Noreldin

In this paper, we extend the block hybrid method with equally spaced intra-step points to solve linear and nonlinear third-order initial value problems. The proposed block hybrid method uses a simple iteration scheme to linearize the equations. Numer...
