We present an extension of quantum field theory to the case when the spacetime topology fluctuates (spacetime foam). In this extension the number of bosonic fields becomes a variable and the ground state is characterized by a finite…
We show that theories that exhibit classicalization phenomenon cease to do so as soon as they are endowed a Wilsonian weakly-coupled UV-completion that restores perturbative unitarity, despite the fact that such UV-completion does not…

The theory of cosmological fluctuations assumes that the pre-inflationary state of the universe was the quantum vacuum of a scalar field(s) coupled to gravity. The observed cosmic microwave background fluctuations are then interpreted as…

Quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in empty space seem not to produce observable effects over the motion of a charged test particle. However, when a change in the background vacuum state is implemented, as for instance…
In the standard model, stabilization of a classically unstable cosmic string may occur through the quantum fluctuations of a heavy fermion doublet. We review numerical results from a semiclassical expansion in a reduced version of the…
A pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson, with a potential of the form $ V(\phi) = \Lambda^4 [1 + \cos(\phi/f)]$, can naturally give rise to an epoch of inflation in the early universe (Freese, Frieman, and Olinto 1990). The potential is naturally…
We investigate quantum and quantum-relativistic effects associated with the noise power spectrum and the fluctuation--dissipation relation between current--noise spectra and linear--response conductance at low frequencies of the…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in flatband systems which exhibit macroscopic degeneracies. These systems offer a valuable mathematical framework for the extreme sensitivity to perturbations and interactions. This…
It is shown that the curvature of space-time induced by vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields should be proportional to the square of Newton's constant $G$. This offers a possible explanation for the success of the approximation $G m^6 c^2…
