We revisit the calculation of chiral anomalies for global and gauge symmetries in the framework of the covariant derivative expansion (CDE). Due to the presence of UV divergences, the result is an ambiguous quantity that depends on the regularization proce ...
We derive a dynamical field theory for self-propelled particles subjected to generic torques and forces by explicitly coarse-graining their microscopic dynamics, described by a many-body Fokker-Planck equation. The model includes both intrinsic torques ind ...
The search for new materials for energy -efficient electronic devices has gained unprecedented importance. Among the various classes of magnetic materials driving this search are antiferromagnets, magnetoelectrics, and systems with topological spin excitat ...
Multilayered cuprates possess not only the highest superconducting temperature transition but also offer a unique platform to study disorder-free CuO2 planes and the interplay between competing orders with superconductivity. Here, we study the underdoped t ...
We present a comprehensive discussion on lattice techniques for the simulation of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe. After reviewing the continuum formulation of scalar and gauge field interactions in Minkowski and FLRW backgrounds, ...
The hemocyanin protein binds and transports molecular oxygen via two copper atoms at its core. The singlet state of the Cu2O2 core is thought to be stabilised by a superexchange pathway, but detailed in situ computational analysis is complicated by the mul ...
Right-handed neutrinos offer an elegant solution to two well-established phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM)-masses and oscillations of neutrinos, as well as the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. It is also a minimalistic solution, since it requires o ...
We study quantum effects in Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation of gravity, in which the metric and connection are treated as independent variables. We exploit the fact that the cutoff, above which perturbation theory breaks down, is higher than th ...
In this work, we propose a unified theoretical and practical spherical approximation framework for functional inverse problems on the hypersphere. More specifically, we consider recovering spherical fields directly in the continuous domain using functional ...
This thesis is concerned with gauge theories, their complicated vacuum and resulting effects. After an introduction to the subject, it is divided into four parts.Firstly, we treat the problem of chiral charge dynamics at finite temperature. Quantum field ...
