We analyze the class of models where a suitable coupling between the inflaton field and the vector field gives rise to scale-invariant vector perturbations. We exploit the fact that the de Sitter isometry group acts as conformal group on…
In a recently proposed model in which a vector non-Abelian gauge field interacts with an antisymmetric tensor field, it has been shown that the tensor field possesses no physical degrees of freedom. This formal demonstration is tested by…
We study a series of perturbations on the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We show that the chaotic non-Fermi liquid phase described by the ordinary $q = 4$ SYK model has marginally relevant/irrelevant (depending on the sign of the coupling…
We study the chaos exponent of some variants of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, namely, the $\Ns=1$ supersymmetry (SUSY)-SYK model and its sibling, the $(N|M)$-SYK model which is not supersymmetric in general, for arbitrary interaction…
We study the behavior of a single electron transistor (SET) represented by a dissipative tunnel junction between a pair of quantum dots described by two (possibly, different) Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models. A combined influence of the soft…
Motivated by recent discussions of the string-theory landscape, we propose field-theoretic realizations of models with large numbers of vacua. These models contain multiple U(1) gauge groups, and can be interpreted as deconstructed versions…
The evolution of complex correlated quantum systems such as random circuit networks is governed by the dynamical buildup of both entanglement and entropy. We here introduce a real-time field theory approach -- essentially a fusion of the $G…
We investigate cosmological models in a recently proposed geometrical theory of gravity, in which the scalar field appears as part of the space-time geometry. We extend the previous theory to include a scalar potential in the action. We…
A new vector-tensor model of classical gravity, which contains coupling between the field strength of the vector field and the curvature tensors in six dimensions, is proposed. Cosmological solutions of the scale factors in this model with…
The nonlinear supermatrix $\sigma $-model is widely used to understand the physics of Anderson localization and the level statistics in noninteracting disordered electron systems. In contrast to the general belief that the supersymmetry…
The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model is a model of $q$ interacting fermions whose large N limit is dominated by melonic graphs. In this review we first present a diagrammatic proof of that result by direct, combinatorial analysis of its…
Theoretical physics is used for a toy model of molecular biology to assess conditions that lead to the edge of chaos (EOC) in a network of biomolecules. Results can enhance our ability to understand complex diseases and their treatment or…
We investigate the coupling between the inflaton and massive vector fields. All renormalizable couplings with shift symmetry of the inflaton are considered. The massive vector can be decomposed into a scalar mode and a divergence-free…
The Vicsek model for the self-propelled particles is investigated with the respect to the introduction of the stochastic perturbation of the dynamics. It is shown that such a dependence can be thought in terms of the isomorphism of the…
We consider a colored version of the SYK model, that is we distinguish the $D$ vector fermionic fields involved in the interaction by a color. We obtain the full $1/N$ series of both the quenched and annealed free energies of the model and…
We study the phase diagram and critical behaviors of three-dimensional lattice ${\mathbb Z}_2$-gauge $N$-vector models, in which an $N$-component real field is minimally coupled with a ${\mathbb Z}_2$-gauge link variables. These models are…
We consider the graphs involved in the theoretical physics model known as the colored Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We study in detail their combinatorial properties at any order in the so-called $1/N$ expansion, and we enumerate these…
We investigate the dynamics of two quantum mechanical oscillator system-bath toy models obtained by truncating to zero spatial dimensions linearized gravity coupled to a massive scalar field and scalar QED. The scalar-gravity toy model maps…
We analyze perturbative aspects of gauged matrix models, including those where classically the gauge symmetry is partially broken. Ghost fields play a crucial role in the Feynman rules for these vacua. We use this formalism to elucidate the…
A new model realisation of the vector curvaton paradigm is presented and analysed. The model consists of a single massive Abelian vector field, with a Maxwell type kinetic term. By assuming that the kinetic function and the mass of the…
