Spherical field theory is a new non-perturbative method for studying quantum field theories. It uses the spherical partial wave expansion to reduce a general d-dimensional Euclidean field theory into a set of coupled one-dimensional…
In these 4 lectures, I give a brief introduction to the principles of effective field theory and discuss their application via 3 examples: (i) the Standard Model as an effective theory; (ii) non-linear sigma models and the composite Higgs;…
In this paper we review many interesting open problems in mathematical physics which may be attacked with the help of tools from constructive field theory. They could give work for future mathematical physicists trained with the…
We survey a decade worth of work pertaining to the nodal structures of random fields, with emphasis on the transformative techniques that shaped the field.
We describe a symplectization functor from the Poisson category to the symplectic "category" and we study some of its properties.
A review of the superstatistics concept is provided, including various recent applications to complex systems.
The recently proposed projection quantization, which is a method to quantize particular subspaces of systems with known quantum theory, is shown to yield a genuine quantization in several cases. This may be inferred from exact results…

A method of computation of its terms is presented together with some stabilization results. As an application a characterization of symplectic harmonic manifolds is given and a relationship with the C-spectral sequence is indicated.

The main purpose of this paper is to give a topological and symplectic classification of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in terms of characteristic classes and other local and global invariants.
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.
These are notes from a 15 week course aimed at graduate mathematicians. They provide an essentially self-contained introduction to some of the ideas and terminology of QFT.
We define the concept of symplectic foliation on a symplectic manifold and provide a method of constructing many examples, by using asymptotically holomorphic techniques.
Recent years have seen noteworthy progress in the mathematical formulation of quantum field theory and perturbative string theory. We give a brief survey of these developments. It serves as an introduction to the more detailed collection…
We provide an overview of basic concepts, tools, and results of quantum field theoretical scattering theory. This article is prepared for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, edited by M. Bojowald and R.J. Szabo,…
Following my plenary lecture on ICMP2000 I review my results concerning two closely related topics: topological quantum field theories and the problem of quantization of gauge theories. I start with old results (first examples of…
String field theory is a candidate for a full non-perturbative definition of string theory. We aim to define string field theory on a space-time lattice to investigate its behaviour at the quantum level. Specifically, we look at string…
I summarize here the logic that leads us to a program for the Theory of the Total Field in Einstein's sense. The purpose is to show that this theory is a logical culmination of the developments of (fundamental) physical concepts and, hence,…
The field of data science currently enjoys a broad definition that includes a wide array of activities which borrow from many other established fields of study. Having such a vague characterization of a field in the early stages might be…
