Large-N field systems are considered from an unusual point of view. The Hamiltonian is presented in a third-quantized form analogously to the second-quantized formulation of the quantum theory of many particles. The semiclassical…
Inspired by a possible relation between large $N$ gauge theory and string theory, we search for nontrivial fixed points in large $N$ gauge theory in more than four dimensions. We study large $N$ gauge theory through Monte Carlo simulation…
I review the formalism, Feynman rules, and combinatorics that constrain a field to propagate ``classically", strictly in tree diagrams, either by itself, or interacting with other, purely quantum fields. The perturbation theory is…
In these notes we review some properties of Statistical Quantum Field Theory at equilibrium, i.e Quantum Field Theory at finite temperature. We explain the relation between finite temperature quantum field theory in (d,1) dimensions and…
For quantum theories with a classical limit (which includes the large N limits of typical field theories), we derive a hierarchy of evolution equations for equal time correlators which systematically incorporate corrections to the limiting…
The large-$N$ quantum field theories provide a window into the regime of strongly-coupled physics. Our principal object of study in this thesis is the large-$N$ family of melonic QFTs, which contain the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev-like models, tensor…
The different large $N$ limits of supersymmetric quantum field theories in three, four, and five dimensions are reviewed. We distinguish between the planar limit of SQCD theories, the M-theory limit suited in three and five dimensions, and…
In this work, we present a comprehensive and pedagogical review of two quantum field theoretical approaches to neutrino flavor mixing and oscillations: the non-perturbative flavor Fock space formalism and the perturbative interaction…
We describe progress applying the \textit{Worldline Formalism} of quantum field theory to the fermion propagator dressed by $N$-photons to study multi-linear Compton scattering processes, explaining how this approach -- whose calculational…
We demonstrate the renormalisability of quantum field theories in four dimensions with elementary self-interacting Dirac fermions and to leading order in the limit of many fermion flavours $N_{\rm f}$. Starting from the underlying…
A construction of master field describing multicolour QCD is presented. The master fields for large N matrix theories satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields are quantized according $q$-deformed commutation…
The effectiveness of the perturbative renormalization group approach at fixed space dimension d in the theory of critical phenomena is analyzed. Three models are considered: the O(N) model, the cubic model and the antiferromagnetic model…
I discuss methods based on the large Nc expansion to study nonperturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force. I apply these methods to the analysis of weak decay processes and the nonperturbative computation…
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…
Numerical evidence combined with Eguchi-Kawai reduction indicate that there are no finite volumes effects in the large N limit of QCD as long as the linear extent of the four-torus is bigger than a critical size. This is referred to as…
We analyze strongly interacting Fermi gases in the unitary regime by considering the generalization to an arbitrary number N of spin-1/2 fermion flavors with Sp(2N) symmetry. For N=\infty this problem is exactly solved by the BCS-BEC…
We propose a procedure of computing the n-point function in perturbation theory of the quantum field theory as the average over the complex Gaussian noises in a classical theory. The complex Gaussian noises are the sources for the creation…
We discuss the use of quantum simulation to study an $N$ flavor theory of interacting relativistic fermions in(1+1) dimensions on NISQ era machines. The case of two flavors is particularly interesting as it can be mapped to the Hubbard…
We analyse in this paper the large N limit of the Schwinger-Dyson equations in a rank-3 tensor quantum field theory, which are derived with the help of Ward-Takahashi identities. In order to have a well-defined large N limit, appropriate…
We present a new formulation of effective field theory for nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions which treats pion interactions perturbatively, and we offer evidence that the expansion converges satisfactorily to third order in the expansion,…
