The gravity duals of nonlocal field theories in the large N limit exhibit a novel behavior near the boundary. To explore this, we present and study the duals of dipole theories - a particular class of nonlocal theories with fundamental…
The lattice data on the instanton size distribution suggest an additional O($\rho^2)$ action. The small-$\rho$ effect O($\rho^4)$ predicted by the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) is not observed. Similar deviations are also found for…
Subject of our investigations is QCD formulated in terms of physical degrees of freedom. Starting from the Faddeev-Popov procedure, the canonical formulation of QCD is derived for static gauges. Particular emphasis is put on obstructions…
We investigate the coupled dynamics of charge and energy in interacting lattice models with dipole conservation. We formulate a generic hydrodynamic theory for this combination of fractonic constraints and numerically verify its…
Starting from the Phi-derivable approximation scheme at leading-loop order, the thermodynamical potential in a hot scalar theory, as well as in QED and QCD, is expressed in terms of hard thermal loop propagators. This nonperturbative…
The large deviation properties of equilibrium (reversible) lattice gases are mathematically reasonably well understood. Much less is known in non--equilibrium, namely for non reversible systems. In this paper we consider a simple example of…
Field theories are usually quantized by performing a path integral over configurations of classical fields. This is the case both in perturbation theory and in Wilson's nonperturbative lattice field theory. D-theory is an alternative…
We analyze SU(2) gauge theory in a constant chromomagnetic field in three dimensions. Our analysis instead of supporting the existence of a non-trivial minimum in the effective potential, corroborates the evidence of the unstable modes on…
An effective field theory exists describing a very large class of biophysically interesting Coulomb gas systems: the lowest order (mean-field) version of this theory takes the form of a generalized Poisson-Boltzmann theory. Interaction…
QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
Recent progress in studying the physics of amorphous solids has revealed that mechanical strains can be strongly screened by the formation of plastic events that are typically quadrupolar in nature. The theory stipulated that gradients in…
In this letter we study the dilatonic corrections to the static gauge potential between heavy sources. These corrections come from the solutions to the the lowest order beta equations. In the energetically favoured branch, the potential…
We discuss the non perturbative approach to the problem of high-energy hadron-hadron (dipole-dipole) scattering at low momentum transfer by means of numerical simulations in Lattice Gauge Theory.
A point particle approximation to the classical dynamics of well separated vortices of the abelian Higgs model is developed. A static vortex is asymptotically identical to a solution of the linearized field theory (a Klein-Gordon/Proca…
Generalizations of QCD in which the number of colors N is taken to infinity are characterized by profound mathematical properties, with far-reaching implications for fundamental problems and for phenomenological issues alike. In this…
Recent results of lattice QCD at finite temperature and density are reviewed. At vanishing density the transition temperature, the equation of state and hadron properties are discussed both for the pure gauge theory and for dynamical…
We study some non-perturbative aspects of noncommutative gauge theories. We find analytic solutions of the equations of motion, for noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, that describe magnetic monopoles with a finite tension string attached.…
We review our recent study on the QCD static force using gradient flow at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. The QCD static force has the advantage of being free of the $O(\Lambda_{\text{QCD}})$ renormalon appearing in the static…
We investigate the stability properties of discrete and hybrid stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems. More precisely, we extend the stochastic contraction theorems (which were formulated for continuous systems) to the case of discrete and…
Q-balls are large bound-state systems of scalar particles, described classically through localized solutions of the equations of motion. Promoting the required stabilizing $U(1)$ symmetry to a gauge symmetry leads to gauged Q-balls, which…
