We study a non-commutative non-relativistic scalar field theory in 2+1 dimensions. The theory shows the UV/IR mixing typical of QFT on non-commutative spaces. The one-loop correction to the two-point function turns out to be given by a…

We revisit the non-linear sigma model approach to string theory with the closed superstring field theory. We construct the string field theory around the non-linear sigma model background with the patch-by-patch description. We show that…
A new type of nonlocal currents (quasi-particles), which we call twisted parafermions, and its corresponding twisted $Z$-algebra are found. The system consists of one spin-1 bosonic field and six nonlocal fields of fractional spins.…
We examine a large class of scalar quantum field theories where vertices are able to cancel adjacent propagators. These theories are obtained as diffeomorphisms of the field variable of a free field. Their connected correlations functions…
One of the most intriguing aspects of Chern-Simons-type topological models is the fractional statistics of point particles which has been shown essential for our understanding of the fractional quantum Hall effects. Furthermore these ideas…
F-theory is perhaps the most general currently available approach to study non-perturbative string compactifications in their geometric, large radius regime. It opens up a wide and ever-growing range of applications and connections to…

Euclidean field theories admit more general deformations than usually discussed in quantum field theories because of mixing between rotational symmetry and internal symmetry (a.k.a topological twist). Such deformations may be relevant, and…
