On-shell constructibility is redefining our understanding of perturbative quantum field theory. The tree-level S-matrix of constructible theories is completely determined by a set of recurrence relations and a reduced number of scattering…
We discuss the theoretical basis for the search of the possible experimental manifestations of the torsion field at low energies. First, the quantum field theory in an external gravitational field with torsion is reviewed. The…
A general method to build the entanglement renormalization (cMERA) for interacting quantum field theories is presented. We improve upon the well-known Gaussian formalism used in free theories through a class of variational non-Gaussian…
We propose a new Real Space Renormalization Group transformation useful for Monte Carlo calculations in theories with global or local symmetries. From relaxation arguments we define the block-spin transformation with two tunable free…
Quantum field theory currently has a single standard mathematical characterization (the Standard Model), but no single accepted conceptual framework to interpret the mathematics. Many of these conceptualizations rely on intuitive concepts…
Anthropic solutions to the cosmological constant problem require seemingly unnatural scalar field potentials with a very small slope or domain walls (branes) with a very small coupling to a four-form field. Here we introduce a class of…
New method for construction of gauge-invariant deformed theory from an initial gauge theory proposed in our previous papers [1], [2] for closed/open gauge algebras is extended to the case of reducible gauge algebras. The deformation…
Asymptotic fields do not exist in theories with massless particles and fields, because the vacuum matrix elements of products of the interacting fields in such theories do not have delta function or principal value singularities in momentum…
The low energy structure of a theory containing light and heavy particle species which are separated by a mass gap can adequately be described by an effective theory which contains only the light particles. In this work we present a…
A detailed study of certain apspects of some 2+1 dimensional field theories is presented with special emphasis on the role of Wigner's little group for massless particles in generating gauge transformations. The planar models considered…
Constructor theory is a meta-theoretic approach that seeks to characterise concrete theories of physics in terms of the (im)possibility to implement certain abstract "tasks" by means of physical processes. Process theory, on the other hand,…
We construct a real-time lattice-gauge-theory-type action for a spin-1/2 matter field of a single particle on a (1+1)-dimensional spacetime lattice. The framework is based on a discrete-time quantum walk, and is hence inherently unitary and…
We advocate an effective field theory approach to anomalous couplings. The effective field theory approach is the natural way to extend the standard model such that the gauge symmetries are respected. It is general enough to capture any…
This article surveys the application of the representation theory of loop groups to simple models in quantum field theory and to certain integrable systems. The common thread in the discussion is the construction of quantum fields using…
In this work, we employ renormalization group methods to study the general behavior of field theories possessing anisotropic scaling in the spacetime variables. The Lorentz breaking symmetry that accompanies these models are either soft, if…
This article investigates the construction of fermions and the formulation of the Standard Model of particle physics in a theory in which the Lorentz signature emerges from an underlying microscopic purely Euclidean $SO(4)$ theory.…
Stringent restrictions for model building are imposed by a no-go theorem in noncommutative gauge field theory. Circumventing this theorem is crucial for the construction of realistic models of particle interactions. To this end, the…
In these notes we explain how the CFT description of random matrix models can be used to perform actual calculations. Our basic example is the hermitian matrix model, reformulated as a conformal invariant theory of free fermions. We give an…
We use perturbation theory to construct perfect lattice actions for fermions and gauge fields by blocking directly from the continuum. When one uses a renormalization group transformation that preserves chiral symmetry the resulting lattice…
Field theory is an area in physics with a deceptively compact notation. Although general purpose computer algebra systems, built around generic list-based data structures, can be used to represent and manipulate field-theory expressions,…
