We study different aspects of observer independent formulation of quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime background. This thesis is broadly divided into two parts, in the first part we study an observer independent scalar field…
Perturbative QFT is developed in terms of off-shell fields (that is, functionals on the configuration space not restricted by any field equation), and by quantizing the (underlying) free theory by an $\hbar$-dependent deformation of the…
We introduce the concept of a quantum background and a functor QFT. In the case that the QFT moduli space is smooth formal, we construct a flat quantum superconnection on a bundle over QFT which defines algebraic structures relevant to…
We analyze fast interaction cycles in bipartite quantum systems, showing that the statistics in one of the parties (the detector) can be used to determine the two-point correlator of the observable which mediates the coupling in the other…
We construct an effective Quantum Field Theory for the wrapping effects in 1+1 dimensional models of factorised scattering. The recently developed graph-theoretical approach to TBA gives the perturbative desctiption of this QFT. For the…
We study quantum field models in indefinite metric. We introduce the modified Wightman axioms of Morchio and Strocchi as a general framework of indefinite metric quantum field theory (QFT) and present concrete interacting relativistic…
There is a renewed interest in conformal field theories (CFT) on ultrametric spaces (p-adic field and its algebraic extensions) in view of their natural adaptability in the holographic setting. We compute the contributions from the exchange…
Though theoretical treatments of quantum tunnelling within single-particle quantum mechanics are well-established, at present, there is no quantum field-theoretic description (QFT) of tunnelling. Due to the single-particle nature of quantum…
In this paper, we show how the finite formulation of QFT based on Callan-Symanzik equations can be generalised to the case of non-renormalizable theories. We derive an equation for effective action for an arbitrary single scalar field…
Using canonical quantisation, and eschewing the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral, we derive a version of the Worldline Quantum Field Theory (WQFT) formalism suitable for both scattering and bound configurations of the classical two-body…
We present a systematic method to expand the quantum complexity of interacting theory in series of coupling constant. The complexity is evaluated by the operator approach in which the transformation matrix between the second quantization…
We study an exactly solvable quantum field theory (QFT) model describing interacting fermions in 2+1 dimensions. This model is motivated by physical arguments suggesting that it provides an effective description of spinless fermions on a…
We consider a scalar quantum field $\phi$ with arbitrary polynomial self-interaction in perturbation theory. If the field variable $\phi$ is repaced by a local diffeomorphism $\phi(x) = \rho(x) + a_1 \rho^2(x) +\ldots$, this field $\rho$…
Non locality appearing in QFT during the free evolution of localized field states and in the Feynman propagator function is analyzed. It is shown to be connected to the initial non local properties present at the level of quantum states and…
We recast into histories-based form a quantum field theory defined earlier in operator language for a free scalar field on a background causal set. The resulting decoherence-functional resembles that of the continuum theory. The counterpart…
We study the connection between Rational Conformal Field Theory (RCFT), $N=2$ massive supersymmetric field theory, and solvable Interaction Round the Face (IRF) lattice models. Specifically, one identifies the fusion rings with the chiral…
Our aim is to contribute to quantum field theory (QFT) formalisms useful for descriptions of short time phenomena, dominant especially in heavy ion collisions. We formulate out-of-equilibrium QFT within the finite-time-path formalism (FTP)…
The present work tackles the existence of local gauge symmetries in the setting of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT). The net of causal loops, previously introduced by the authors, is a model independent construction of a covariant net…
The purpose of this work is to rewrite the generating functional of phi^4 theory for the n = 0 and n = 4 correlation functions as the inner product of a state with an observable, as we did in [J. S. Ardenghi, M. Castagnino, Phys. Rev. D,…
The paper puts together some loosely connected observations, old and new, on the concept of a quantum field and on the properties of Feynman amplitudes. We recall, in particular, the role of (exceptional) elementary induced representations…
