In this work we investigate possible actions for antisymmetric two-tensor field models subject to constraints that force the field to acquire a nonzero vacuum expectation value, thereby spontaneously breaking Lorentz invariance. In order to…
We study quantum field theories in which the number of degrees of freedom changes discontinuously across the momentum space. This discontinuity which we call "Kronecker anomaly" leads to non-local effective actions and can be represented as…

We derive the free energy of a Lorentz invariance violating (LIV) O(2) model, for which a non-vanishing commutator among it's momenta is supposed. Then we investigate the possible implications of such a matter field on the time evolution of…

Quantum operators of coordinates and momentum components of a particle in Minkowski space-time belong to a noncommutative algebra and give rise to a quantum phase space. Under some constraints, in particular, the Lorentz invariance…
In the presence of Lorentz violation, the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field is distorted. By measuring the eccentricities of particles' elliptical orbits and studying how those eccentricities vary with the absolute…
Spontaneous Lorentz violation realized through a nonlinear vector field constraint of the type $A_{\mu}A^{\mu}=M^{2}$ ($M$ is the proposed scale for Lorentz violation) is shown to generate massless vector Goldstone bosons, gauging the…
A quantum field model for Dirac-like tachyons respecting a frame-dependent interpretation rule, and thus inherently breaking Lorentz invariance, is defined. It is shown how the usual paradoxa ascribed to tachyons, instability and…
I discuss some non-perturbative aspects of hot gauge theories as related to the unscreened static magnetic interactions. I first review some of the infrared divergences which cause the breakdown of the perturbation theory. Then I show that…
On the example of a real scalar field, an approach to quantization of non-linear fields and construction of the perturbation theory with account of spontaneous symmetry breaking is proposed. The method is based on using as the main…
Lattice field theory is a non-perturbative tool for studying properties of strongly interacting field theories, which is particularly amenable to numerical calculations and has quantifiable systematic errors. In these lectures we apply…
One of the perspectives in modern quantum field and string theory is related with the attempts to go beyond the perturbation theory. It turns out that a key principle in the formulation of all known non-perturbative results is {\it…
