We review our recent construction of operator-algebraic quantum field models with a weak localization property. Chiral components of two-dimensional conformal fields and certain endomorphisms of their observable algebras play a crucial…
We bootstrap the S-matrix of massless particles in unitary, relativistic two dimensional quantum field theories. We find that the low energy expansion of such S-matrices is strongly constrained by the existence of a UV completion. In the…
We introduce a new class of models for interacting particles. Our construction is based on Jacobians for the radial coordinates on certain superspaces. The resulting models contain two parameters determining the strengths of the…
We propose a framework for the free field construction of algebras of local observables which uses as an input the Bisognano-Wichmann relations and a representation of the Poincare' group on the one-particle Hilbert space. The abstract real…
In integrable field theories the S-matrix is usually a product of a relatively simple matrix and a complicated scalar factor. We make an observation that in many relativistic integrable field theories the scalar factor can be expressed as a…
Integrable quantum mechanical systems for neutral particles with spin $\frac12$ and nontrivial dipole momentum are classified. It is demonstrated that such systems give rise to new exactly solvable problems of quantum mechanics with clear…
This paper addresses enforcing non-vanishing constraints for solutions to a second order elliptic partial differential equation by appropriate choices of boundary conditions. We show that, in dimension $d\geq2$, under suitable regularity…
We approach the study of non--integrable models of two--dimensional quantum field theory as perturbations of the integrable ones. By exploiting the knowledge of the exact $S$-matrix and Form Factors of the integrable field theories we…
Recently, Grosse and Lechner introduced a novel deformation procedure for non-interacting quantum field theories, giving rise to interesting examples of wedge-localized quantum fields with a non-trivial scattering matrix. In the present…
We discuss elementary entwiners that cross-weave the variables of certain integrable models: Liouville, sine-Gordon, and sinh-Gordon field theories in two-dimensional spacetime, and their quantum mechanical reductions. First we define a…
In this thesis we will study matrix models with discrete gauge group $S_N$. We will put these matrix models into a generalized Schur-Weyl duality framework where dual algebras, known as partition algebras, emerge. These form generalizations…
We show how to derive exact boundary $S$ matrices for integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 dimensions using lattice regularization. We do this calculation explicitly for the sine-Gordon model with fixed boundary conditions using the…
Using unitarity methods, we compute, for several massive two-dimensional models, the cut-constructible part of the one-loop 2->2 scattering S-matrices from the tree-level amplitudes. We apply our method to various integrable theories,…
We study massive $2 \to 2$ scattering of identical scalar particles in spacetime dimensions 3 to 11 using non-perturbative S-matrix bootstrap techniques. Treating $d$ as a continuous parameter, we compute two-sided numerical bounds on…
We solve the stationary Schr\"odinger equation for a particle confined to a 3D spherical wedge -- the region $\{(r,\theta,\phi): 0 \leq r \leq R,\, 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi,\, 0 \leq \phi \leq \Phi\}$ with Dirichlet BCs on all surfaces. This…
This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…
It was shown recently that Frobenius reduction of the matrix fields reveals interesting relations among the nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) integrable by the Inverse Spectral Transform Method ($S$-integrable PDEs),…

We show that a class of matrix theories can be understood as an extension of quantum field theory which has non-local interactions. This reformulation is based on the Wigner-Weyl transformation, and the interactions take the form of Moyal…
