Within the electroweak theory, it is shown that the form of the total Lagrangian is invariant, under local phase changes of the basis states for leptons and under local changes of the mathematical spaces employed for the description of…
We develop a general setting for the quantization of linear bosonic and fermionic field theories subject to local gauge invariance and show how standard examples such as linearized Yang-Mills theory and linearized general relativity fit…
We study two different SU(2) gauge-scalar theories in 3 and 4 spacetime dimensions. Firstly, we focus on the 3 dimensional SU(2) theory with multiple Higgs fields in the adjoint representation, that can be mapped to cuprate systems in…
We propose the bosonization of a many-body fermion theory in D spatial dimensions through a noncommutative field theory on a (2D-1)-dimensional space. This theory leads to a chiral current algebra over the noncommutative space and…
The presence of isotropic Lifshitz points for a O(N)-symmetric scalar theory is investigated with the help of the Functional Renormalization Group. In particular, at the supposed lower critical dimension d=4, evidence for a continuous line…
The field space entanglement entropy of a quantum field theory is obtained by integrating out a subset of its fields. We study an interacting quantum field theory consisting of massless scalar fields on a closed compact manifold M. To this…
A full non-perturbative treatment of gauge theories requires to include matter fields on equal footing with the gauge fields. Scalar matter can act as a role model for generic matter, as many questions, e.g. confinement, can be posed…
We start with the recently conjectured 3d bosonization dualities and gauge global symmetries to generate an infinite sequence of new dualities. These equate theories with non-Abelian product gauge groups and bifundamental matter. We uncover…
In this work, we investigate the existence of analytic solutions of static scalar fields on Lifshitz spacetimes. We evade Derrick's theorem on curved spacetimes by breaking general covariance and use first-order formalism to obtain…
We reconsider the gauge symmetries of the spinning particle by a direct examination of the Lagrangian using a systematic procedure based on the Noether identities. It proves possible to find a set of local Bosonic and Fermionic gauge…
Consistent interactions among a set of two-form gauge fields in four dimensions are derived along a Hamiltonian cohomological procedure. It is shown that the deformation of the BRST charge and BRST-invariant Hamiltonian for the free model…
SU(2) gauge theory coupled to massless fermions in the adjoint representation is quantized in light-cone gauge by imposing the equal-time canonical algebra. The theory is defined on a space-time cylinder with "twisted" boundary conditions,…
Two-dimensional quantum field theories are important in many problems in physics because they contain exact symmetries and are often completely integrable. We demonstrate the power of bosonization in elucidating the structure of a…
The 2-dimensional BF theory is both a gauge theory and a topological Poisson $\sigma$-model corresponding to a linear Poisson bracket. In \cite{To1}, Torossian discovered a connection which governs correlation functions of the BF theory…
We generalize the $N_F=2$ Schwinger model on the lattice by adding a charged scalar field. In this so-called $\chi U\phi_2$ model the scalar field shields the fermion charge, and a neutral fermion, acquiring mass dynamically, is present in…
We introduce the spherical field formalism for free gauge fields. We discuss the structure of the spherical Hamiltonian for both general covariant gauge and radial gauge and point out several new features not present in the scalar field…
A single-parameter family of covariant gauge fixing conditions in bosonic string field theory is proposed. It is a natural string field counterpart of the covariant gauge in the conventional gauge theory, which includes the Landau gauge as…
Field theoretic models possessing a global internal fermionic shift symmetry are considered. When such a symmetry is realized locally, spin 3/2 fields appear naturally as gauge fields. Implementation of the gauging procedure requires not…
We study non-relativistic field theory coupled to a torsional Newton-Cartan geometry both directly as well as holographically. The latter involves gravity on asymptotically locally Lifshitz space-times. We define an energy-momentum tensor…
