We give a pedagogical introduction to Linearized Soliton Perturbation Theory (LSPT), a new and efficient tool for calculations involving quantum solitons. It is a Hamiltonian approach with a focus on explicitly constructing the soliton…
In this paper we present the complete two-loop vertex corrections to scalar and pseudo-scalar Higgs boson production for general colour factors for the gauge group ${\rm SU(N)}$ in the limit where the top quark mass gets infinite. We derive…
Partially quenched theories are theories in which the valence- and sea-quark masses are different. In this paper we calculate the nonanalytic one-loop corrections of some physical quantities: the chiral condensate, weak decay constants,…
The baryon overdensity and the matching of the big bang explosion energy with gravitation can be solved by a cyclical baryonic bounce model with correction to the stress-energy tensor. Subtracting accretion energy from the CMBR allows…
We study the 2+1 dimensional abelian Higgs model defined on a spatial torus at critical self-coupling. We propose a method to compute the quantum contribution to the mass of the ANO vortex and to multi-vortex energies. The one-loop quantum…
We construct explicit BPS and non-BPS solutions of the Yang-Mills equations on noncommutative spaces R^{2n}_theta x G/H which are manifestly G-symmetric. Given a G-representation, by twisting with a particular bundle over G/H, we obtain a…

We study 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(1)$ Chern-Simons-matter QFT on a cylinder $C\times\mathbb{R}$. The topology of $C$ gives rise to BPS sectors of low-energy solitons known as kinky vortices, which interpolate between (possibly) different vacua…
We discuss quantum corrections to extremal black brane solutions in N=2 U(1) gauged supergravity in four dimensions. We consider modifications due to a certain class of higher-derivative terms as well as perturbative corrections to the…

We analyze the color-magnetic (or "$B$") field two-point function that encodes the finite-mass correction to the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient. The simulations are done on fine isotropic lattices in the quenched approximation…
We explore the interplay between topologies in the momentum and real spaces to formulate a thermodynamic description of nonequilibrium injection of topological charges under external bias. We show that the edge modes engendered by the…
We study the quantization of some cosmological models within the theory of N=1 supergravity with a positive cosmological constant. We find, by imposing the supersymmetry and Lorentz constraints, that there are no physical states in the…
Within the framework of the MSSM, we compute the electroweak one-loop supersymmetric quantum corrections to the width $\Gamma (t\rightarrow W^{+}\, b)$ of the canonical main decay of the top quark. The results are presented in two on-shell…

Using an exact solution as a concrete example, Nambu-Goldstone modes on the BPS domain wall junction are worked out for N=1 supersymmetric theories in four dimensions. Their wave functions extend along the wall to infinity (not localized)…
We study soliton solutions in 1+1 dimensional gauged sigma models, obtained by dimensional reduction from its 2+1 dimensional counterparts. We show that the Bogomol'nyi bound of these models can be expressed in terms of two conserved…
We study the effects of the finite size of the baryons on the equation of state of homogeneous hadronic matter with hyperons. The finite extension of hadrons is introduced in order to improve the perfomance of field theoretical models at…
The Kaon bag parameter, $B_K$, is a key non-perturbative ingredient in the search for new physics through CP-violation. It parameterizes the QCD hadronic matrix element of the effective weak $\Delta S=2$ four-quark operator which can only…
Quantum-disordering a discrete-symmetry breaking state by condensing domain-walls can lead to a trivial symmetric insulator state. In this work, we show that if we bind a 1D representation of the symmetry (such as a charge) to the…
