We recently proposed a new approach to the Casimir effect based on classical ray optics (the "optical approximation"). In this paper we show how to use it to calculate the local observables of the field theory. In particular we study the…
The main consequences of de Sitter Special Relativity to the Standard Cosmological Model of Physical Cosmology are examined. The cosmological constant Lambda appears, in this theory, as a manifestation of the proper conformal current, which…
In this paper we investigate the behaviour of the specific heat around the critical point of the Ising model in dimension 5 to 7. We find a specific heat discontinuity, like that for the mean field Ising model, and provide estimates for the…
We study the critical behavior of the Ising spin glass in five spatial dimensions through large-scale Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis. Numerical evidence for a phase transition is found both with and without an…
We have investigated the cosmological scenarios with a four dimensional effective action which is connected with multidimensional, supergravity and string theories. The solution for the scale factor is such that initially universe undergoes…
We study the statistical properties of the sum $S_t=\int_{0}^{t}dt' \sigma_{t'}$, that is the difference of time spent positive or negative by the spin $\sigma_{t}$, located at a given site of a $D$-dimensional Ising model evolving under…
We study dimensional crossover in Ising systems at complex temperatures by comparing three types of system: the infinite isotropic 2D Ising model; the infinite anisotropic 2D Ising model; and Ising ladders with a finite number of legs. In…
We obtain the diagonal reflection matrices for a recently introduced family of dilute ${\rm A}_L$ lattice models in which the ${\rm A}_3$ model can be viewed as an Ising model in a magnetic field. We calculate the surface free energy from…
It has been suggested that an information geometric view of statistical mechanics in which a metric is introduced onto the space of parameters provides an interesting alternative characterisation of the phase structure, particularly in the…
In this work I investigate the finite temperature Casimir effect due to a massive and charged scalar field that breaks Lorentz invariance in a CPT-even, aether-like way. I study the cases of Dirichlet and mixed (Dirichlet-Neumann) boundary…
A process that images or measures bond energies in the critical Ising model can be in distinct measurement ``phases'', depending on the precision of measurement. We study the transition into the strong-measurement phase using replica field…
The high-order cumulants of conserved charges are suggested to be sensitive observables to search for the critical point of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). This has been calculated to the sixth order in experiments. Corresponding theoretical…
Thanks to the impressive progress of conformal bootstrap methods we have now very precise estimates of both scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients for several 3D universality classes. We show how to use this information to obtain similarly…
Scalar fields appear in many theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In the early universe, they are exposed to extreme conditions, including high temperature and rapid cosmic expansion. Understanding their behavior in this…
This thesis begins with an introduction to the state of the art of modern Cosmology. The field of Particle Cosmology is then introduced and explored, in particular with regard to the study of cosmological inflation. We then introduce a new…
We study the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model with a purely imaginary magnetic field, which can be thought of as a toy model for the usual $\theta$ physics. Our motivation is to have a benchmark calculation in a system which…
We perform estimation of critical exponents via large mass expansion under crucial help of delta-expansion. We address to the three dimensional Ising model at high temperature and estimate omega, the correction-to-scaling exponent, nu, eta…
Light scalar fields typically develop spatially varying backgrounds during inflation. Very often they do not directly affect the density perturbations, but interact with other fields that do leave nontrivial signals in primordial…
We study in detail the dynamic scaling of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model driven through its critical point on finite-size lattices and show that a series of new critical exponents are needed to account for the anomalous scalings…
We consider chiral gauge theories defined over a four-dimensional spacetime manifold with a Cartesian product structure for at least one compact spatial dimension. For a simple setup, we calculate the effective gauge field action by…
