The Wick rotation provides the standard technique of computing Feynman diagrams by means of Euclidean propagators. Let us suppose that quantum fields in an interaction zone are really Euclidean. In contrast with the well-known Euclidean…

We explore higher-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) in the presence of a conformal defect that itself hosts another sub-dimensional defect. We refer to this new kind of conformal defect as the composite defect. We elaborate on the…
In these mostly expository lectures, we give an elementary introduction to conformal field theory in the context of probability theory and complex analysis. We consider statistical fields, and define Ward functionals in terms of their Lie…
The Wigner function, which provides a phase-space description of quantum systems, has various applications in quantum mechanics, quantum kinetic theory, quantum optics, radiation transport and others. The concept of Wigner function has been…
Poincare invariant quantum field theories can be formulated on non-commutative planes if the statistics of fields is twisted. This is equivalent to state that the coproduct on the Poincare group is suitably twisted. In the present work we…
Systems of interacting fermions can give rise to ground states whose correlations become effectively free-fermion-like in the thermodynamic limit, as shown by Baxter for a class of integrable models that include the one-dimensional XYZ…
We define the $\frac{\mathbb{Z}}{2}$-graded meromorphic open-string vertex algebra that is an appropriate noncommutative generalization of the vertex operator superalgebra. We also illustrate an example that can be viewed as a…
We propose a new axiom system for unitary quantum field theories on curved space-time backgrounds, by postulating that the partition function and the correlators extend analytically to a certain domain of complex-valued metrics. Ordinary…
In this work, families of kinks are analytically identified in multifield theories with either polynomial or deformed sine-Gordon-type potentials. The underlying procedure not only allows us to obtain analytical solutions for these models,…
The notion of anyonic Wick algebras is introduced and the corresponding second quantisation procedure is discussed. Applications to the physics of 2D anyonic matter are presented. In particular the existence of thermodynamics in the…
We still extend the large class of Dirac operators decribing massless fermions on the lattice found recently, only requiring that such operators decompose into Weyl operators. After deriving general relations and constructions of operators,…
Based on any chiral vertex operator algebra satisfying a suitable finiteness condition, the semisimplicity of the zero-mode algebra as well as a regularity for induced modules, we construct conformal field theory over the projective line…

Wick's theorem is a cornerstone of perturbative quantum field theory. In this paper we announce and discuss the digitalization of Wick's theorem and its proof into the interactive theorem prover Lean 4 as part of the project PhysLean. We do…
We construct a set of non-rational conformal field theories that consist of deformations of Toda field theory for sl(n). Besides conformal invariance, the theories still enjoy a remnant infinite-dimensional affine symmetry. The case n=3 is…
We study some examples of complex, classical, scalar fields within the new framework that we introduced in a previous work. In these particular examples, we replace the usual functional integral by a complex functional arising from partial…
We discuss the application of the deformation quantization approach to perturbative quantum field theory. We show that the various forms of Wick's theorem are a direct consequence of the structure of the star products. We derive the…
