We discuss D-dimensional scalar field interacting with a scale invariant random metric which is either a Gaussian field or a square of a Gaussian field. The metric depends on d-dimensional coordinates (where d is less than D). By a…
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. We present the mathematical framework for a new and simple method for investigating the non-Gaussian contributions, based on counting the maxima and…
In this thesis, we analyze unitary conformal field theories in three dimensional spaces by applying analytic conformal bootstrap techniques to correlation functions of non-scalar operators, in particular Majorana fermions. Via the analysis…
We analyze the signatures of inflationary models that are coupled to strongly interacting field theories, a basic class of multifield models also motivated by their role in providing dynamically small scales. Near the squeezed limit of the…
We study fluctuations in the number of zeros of random analytic functions given by a Taylor series whose coefficients are independent complex Gaussians. When the functions are entire, we find sharp bounds for the asymptotic growth rate of…
The standard model ascribes distinct properties to different chiralities of fermions. We show how to incorporate this aspect in an extended spacetime-property framework involving two different attributes using a generalized metric which…
We study the scaling behavior of physical observables in strongly-flavored asymptotically free gauge theories, such as many-flavor QCD. Such theories approach a quantum critical point when the number of fermion flavors is increased. It is…
We propose relativistic Luttinger fermions as a new ingredient for the construction of fundamental quantum field theories. We construct the corresponding Clifford algebra and the spin metric for relativistic invariance of the action using…
The nature of level set percolation in the two-dimension Gaussian Free Field has been an elusive question. Using a loop-model mapping, we show that there is a nontrivial percolation transition, and characterize the critical point. In…
Recently, based on heuristic arguments, it was conjectured that an intimate relation exists between any multifractal dimensions, $D_q$ and $D_{q'}$, of the eigenstates of critical random matrix ensembles: $D_{q'} \approx…
Multifractal dimensions allow for characterizing the localization properties of states in complex quantum systems. For ergodic states the finite-size versions of fractal dimensions converge to unity in the limit of large system size.…
Multiplicative cascades have been introduced in turbulence to generate random or deterministic fields having intermittent values and long-range power-law correlations. Generally this is done using discrete construction rules leading to…
We study percolation as a critical phenomenon on a multifractal support. The scaling exponents of the the infinite cluster size ($\beta$ exponent) and the fractal dimension of the percolation cluster ($d_f$) are quantities that seem do not…
The statistical mechanics of nonrelativistic fermions in a constant magnetic field is considered from the quantum field theory point of view. The fermionic determinant is computed using a general procedure that contains all possible…
Sampling from Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs), that is multivariate Gaussian ran- dom vectors that are parameterised by the inverse of their covariance matrix, is a fundamental problem in computational statistics. In this paper, we…
The concept of discrepancy plays an important role in the study of uniformity properties of point sets. For sets of random points, the discrepancy is a random variable. We apply techniques from quantum field theory to translate the problem…
We use a semiclassical approximation to derive the partition function for an arbitrary potential in one-dimensional Quantum Statistical Mechanics, which we view as an example of finite temperature scalar Field Theory at a point. We rely on…
It has been recently proven that natural images exhibit scaling properties analogue to those of turbulent flows. These properties allow regarding each image as a multifractal object, for which its most singular manifold conveys the most of…
We investigate spectral functions in the vicinity of the critical temperature of a second-order phase transition. Since critical phenomena in quantum field theories are governed by classical dynamics, universal properties can be computed…
In Puplinskaite and Surgailis (2014) we introduced the notion of scaling transition for stationary random fields $X$ on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ in terms of partial sums limits, or scaling limits, of $X$ over rectangles whose sides grow at possibly…
