Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

Quantum Field Theory(QFT) as one of the most promising frameworks to study high energy and condensed matter physics, has been mostly developed by perturbative methods. However, perturbative methods can only capture a small island of the space of QFTs. QFT ...

Solving the 2D SUSY Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model with conformal truncation

Matthew Thomas Walters

We use Lightcone Conformal Truncation to analyze the RG flow of the two-dimensional supersymmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory, i.e. the theory of a real scalar superfield with a DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Z(2)-symmetric cubic superpotential, aka the 2d Wess-Zumi ...

Aspects of Gauge Theories Vacua

Adrien Florio

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 ...

Initial or final values for semiclassical evolutions in the Weyl–Wigner representation

David Eduardo Zambrano Ramirez

Initial value representations are constructed to avoid the search for trajectories that are only defined in semiclassical approximations by their boundary conditions. We show how to incorporate these procedures within the full Weyl representation, so that ...

Perturbation Theory Of The Cosmological Log-Density Field

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Wang

The matter density field exhibits a nearly lognormal probability density distribution after entering into the nonlinear regime. Recently, it has been shown that the shape of the power spectrum of a logarithmically transformed density field is very close to ...

Primordial perturbations from multifield inflation with nonminimal couplings

Realistic models of particle physics include many scalar fields. These fields generically have nonminimal couplings to the Ricci curvature scalar, either as part of a generalized Einstein theory or as necessary counterterms for renormalization in curved ba ...

Highly frustrated magnetic clusters: The kagome on a sphere

Frédéric Mila, Ioannis Rousochatzakis

We present a detailed study of the low-energy excitations of two existing finite-size realizations of the planar kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the sphere: the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. After highlighting a number of special spectral f ...
