Two-dimensional electrodynamics coupled to Dirac fermions is mapped onto two-dimensional gravity in the first-order formalism, also including fermions. However, the resulting fermion-gravity coupling deviates from the conventional form,…
The homotopy algebraic formalism of braided noncommutative field theory is used to define the explicit example of braided electrodynamics, that is, $\mathsf{U}(1)$ gauge theory minimally coupled to a Dirac fermion. We construct the braided…
A topological interpretation of the electron--electron interaction under FQHE conditions gives rise to the existence of some kind of composite fermions. The interaction term is similar to the Coulomb interaction and produces punctures in…
We study the quantum fermions+gravity system, that is, the gravitational counterpart of QED. We start from the standard Einstein-Weyl theory, reformulated in terms of Ashtekar variables; and we construct its non- perturbative quantum theory…
In the presence of a large parameter, such as mass or energy, leading behavior of individual Feynman diagrams often get cancelled in the sum. This is known to happen in large-$N_c$ QCD in the presence of a baryon, and also in the case of…
We discuss fermion coupling in the framework of spinfoam quantum gravity. We analyze the gravity-fermion spinfoam model and its fermion correlation functions. We show that there is a spinfoam analog of PCT symmetry for the fermion fields on…
The gap equation for fermions in a version of thermal QED in three dimensions is studied numerically in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism. The interest in this theory has been recently revived since it has been proposed as a model of…

Two-component spinors are the basic ingredients for describing fermions in quantum field theory in four space-time dimensions. We develop and review the techniques of the two-component spinor formalism and provide a complete set of Feynman…
Extracting the Hamiltonian of interacting quantum-information processing systems is a keystone problem in the realization of complex phenomena and large-scale quantum computers. The remarkable growth of the field increasingly requires…
The true variables in QED are the transverse photon components and Dirac's physical electron, constructed out of the fermionic field and the longitudinal components of the photon. We calculate the propagators in terms of these variables to…
The quantum or quantum field theory concept of a complex wave function is useful for understanding the information transport in classical statistical generalized Ising models. We relate complex conjugation to the discrete transformations…
Two-dimensional QED with N-flavor fermions serves as a model of quark dynamics in QCD as well as an effective theory of an anti-ferromagnetic spin chain. It is reduced to N-degree quantum mechanics in which a potential is self-consistently…
We consider a composite particle formed by two fermions or two bosons. We discover that composite behavior is deeply related to the quantum entanglement between the constituent particles. By analyzing the properties of creation and…
A minimal truncated set of the integral Dyson-Schwinger equations, in Minkowski spacetime, that allows to explore QED beyond its perturbative solution is derived for general linear covariant gauges. The minimal set includes the equations…

The eigenstates of interacting electrons in the fractional quantum Hall phase typically form fairly well defined bands in the energy space. We show that the composite fermion theory gives insight into the origin of these bands and provides…
We perform a Nf = 2 + 1 lattice QCD simulation to determine the quark spin fractions of hadrons using the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. By introducing an external spin operator to the fermion action, the matrix elements relevant for quark spin…
Strongly coupled QED is a model whose physics is dominated by short-ranged effects. In order to assess which features of numerical simulations of the chiral phase transition are universal and which are not, we have formulated a quenched…
