We introduce the framework of Quantum Field Theories in general backgrounds through the lens of the path integral, in the formulation known as the Functorial QFT. With the aim of studying properties of strongly coupled QFTs, we present key…

We study the effective field theory (EFT) description of the virtual particle effects in quasi-single field inflation, which unifies the previous results on large mass and large mixing cases. By using a horizon crossing approximation and…

Recent studies by Copetti, C\'ordova and Komatsu have revealed that when non-invertible symmetries are spontaneously broken, the conventional crossing relation of the S-matrix is modified by the effects of the corresponding topological…

We perform a nonperturbative calculation of the 1S0 NN scattering amplitude using an effective field theory (EFT) expansion. The expansion we advocate is a modification of what has been used previously; it is no a chiral expansion in powers…

We introduce and study conformal field theories specified by $W-$algebras commuting with certain set of screening charges. These CFT's possess perturbations which define integrable QFT's. We establish that these QFT's have local and…

We review the effective field theories (EFTs) developed for few-nucleon systems. These EFTs are controlled expansions in momenta, where certain (leading-order) interactions are summed to all orders. At low energies, an EFT with only contact…

A series of sigma models with torsion are analysed which generate their mass dynamically but whose ultra-violet fixed points are non-trivial conformal field theories -- in fact SU(2) WZW models at level $k$. In contrast to the more familiar…

We develop a field theoretical approach based on the temporary basis description as a tool to investigate the transmission properties of a time-driven quantum device. It employs a perturbative scheme for the calculation of the transmission…

This review was born as notes for a lecture given at the YRIS school on integrability in Durham, in the summer of 2015. It deals with a beautiful method, developed in the mid-nineties by V.V. Bazhanov, S.L. Lukyanov and A.B. Zamolodchikov…
