Despite many experimental verifications of the correctness of our basic understanding of QCD, there remain numerous open questions in strong interaction physics and we focus on the role of future colliders in addressing these questions. We…
We present a numerical study of the fermion-induced effective action in the presence of a static inhomogeneous magnetic field for both 3+1 and 2+1 dimensional QED using a novel approach. This approach is appropriate for cylindrically…
We consider the double-soft limit of QCD amplitudes with two massive quarks in a back-to-back kinematics accompanied by two soft partons. We integrate analytically the respective double-soft eikonal functions over the phase space of the two…
In this work, we characterize self-adjoint operators that commute with magnetic translations. We use this characterization to derive effective kinetic energy functionals for homogeneous electron gases and three-dimensional electronic…
Light-front quantum chromodynamics may lead to an accurate constituent approximation for the low-energy properties of hadrons. This requires a cutoff that violates explicit gauge invariance and Lorentz covariance, leading to the calculation…
The positive zeros of [2|1], [1|2] and the most general possible [2|2] Pade approximants whose Maclaurin series reproduce the presently known terms in the three-flavour QCD beta-function are all shown to correspond to ultraviolet fixed…
An analogue of Brylinski's knot beta function is defined for a compactly supported (Schwartz) distribution $T$ on $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. This is a holomorphic function on a right half-plane. If $T$ is a (uniform) double-layer on a…
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 show that integrable structure of chiral random matrix models incorporating global symmetries of QCD Dirac operators (labeled by the Dyson index beta=1,2, and 4) leads to emergence of a connection relation between the spectral statistics…
We determine the $1/N_f^2$ and $1/N_f^3$ contributions to the QED beta function stemming from the closed set of nested diagrams. At order $1/N_f^2$ we discover a new logarithmic branch-cut closer to the origin when compared to the $1/N_f$…
We define supersymmetric zeta functions and supersymmetric determinants, which can reveal spectral properties complementary to those captured by the supersymmetric indices. They play a crucial role in analyzing the Cardy-like behaviors of…
We address whether Pad\'e-summations of the $\bar{MS}$ QCD $\beta$-function for a given number of flavours exhibit an infrared-stable fixed point, or alternatively, an infrared attractor of a double valued couplant as noted by Kogan and…
Threshold effects related to fermion masses are considered for an all-order beta-function based on a background field momentum subtraction scheme. Far away from all thresholds, the suggested beta-function reduces to the conjectured…
As a follow up to the previous talk about the beta function of SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=2 symmetric representation (clover) fermions [arXiv:0809.2885 [hep-lat]], we describe our explorations of the beta-kappa plane, away from the massless…
Lorentz invariant quantum field theories (QFTs) with fermions in four spacetime dimensions (4D) have a $\mathbb{Z}_4$ symmetry provided there exists a basis of operators in the QFT where all operators have even operator dimension, $d$,…
In this article we define and quantize a truncated form of the nonassociative and noncommutative Snyder phi^4 field theory using the functional method in momentum space. More precisely, the action is approximated by expanding up to the…
In this paper, we present results of numerical lattice simulations of two-flavor QED in three space-time dimensions. First, we provide evidence that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the chiral and continuum limit. Next we discuss…
We gain insight on the fixed point dynamics of $d$ dimensional quantum field theories by exploiting the critical behavior of the $d-\epsilon$ sister theories. To this end we first derive a self-consistent relation between the $d-\epsilon$…
Pade-approximant methods are used to extract information about leading positive zeros or poles of QCD and SQCD beta-functions from the known terms of their perturbative series. For QCD, such methods are seen to corroborate the…
We introduce the non-commutative $f$-divergence functional $\Theta(\widetilde{A},\widetilde{B}):=\int_TB_t^{\frac{1}{2}}f\left(B_t^{-\frac{1}{2}} A_tB_t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right)B_t^{\frac{1}{2}}d\mu(t)$ for an operator convex function $f$,…
