We present a unified dynamical mean-field theory for stochastic self-organized critical models. We use a single site approximation and we include the details of different models by using effective parameters and constraints. We identify the…

In this work, families of kinks are analytically identified in multifield theories with either polynomial or deformed sine-Gordon-type potentials. The underlying procedure not only allows us to obtain analytical solutions for these models,…

We study long-range interacting systems perturbed by external stochastic forces. Unlike the case of short-range systems, where stochastic forces usually act locally on each particle, here we consider perturbations by external stochastic…

Quantum field theory has been shown recently renormalizable on flat Moyal space and better behaved than on ordinary space-time. Some models at least should be completely finite, even beyond perturbation theory. In this paper a first step is…

The long-term dynamics of long-range interacting $N$-body systems can generically be described by the Balescu-Lenard kinetic equation. However, for ${1D}$ homogeneous systems, this collision operator exactly vanishes by symmetry. These…

Kinetic Field Theory (KFT) is a statistical field theory for an ensemble of point-like classical particles in or out of equilibrium. We review its application to cosmological structure formation. Beginning with the construction of the…

In earlier work, we have developed a nonequilibrium statistical field theory description of cosmic structure formation, dubbed Kinetic Field Theory (KFT), which is based on the Hamiltonian phase-space dynamics of classical particles and…

Exactly solvable many-body systems are few and far between, and the utility of approximate methods cannot be overestimated. Entanglement mean field theory is an approximate method to handle such systems. While mean field theories reduce the…

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,…

Nonlinear field theories can be used to study both standard physics questions, or to study questions such as the emergence of order and complexity. These theories are generally derived from the symmetries of a given problem and the…

This research investigates a novel class of one-dimensional theories characterised by a distinctly defined infinite interaction range. We propose that such theories emerge naturally through a mesoscopic feedback mechanism. In this…
