I develop an Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework to compute jet substructure observables for heavy ion collision experiments. As an illustration, I consider dijet events that accompany the formation of a weakly coupled Quark Gluon…
We consider an extension of the standard electroweak theory with gauge group $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{\tilde{Y}}$, where the gauge bosons of the extra $SU(2)_R$ factor do not couple to ordinary fermions. We show that precision…
Successful applications of a conceptually novel setup of Quantum Field Theory, that accounts for all subtheories of the Standard Model (QED, Electroweak Interaction and Higgs, Yang-Mills and QCD) and beyond (Helicity 2), call for a…
It was known long ago that quantum theory and general relativity are in sharp conflict in their foundations. Their fundamental inconsistencies render a consistent theory of quantum gravity the most challenging problem in physics. Here we…
An extension to the standard electroweak model is presented that is different from previous models. This extension involves a three dimensional rotation of a plane defined by two charge-neutral current axes. In this model the plane also…
We study possible strong first-order electroweak phase transitions in Composite Higgs models and we quantify the part of parameter space that can be probed with future gravitational Wave experiments. We focus on models where the Composite…
We introduce the framework of Quantum Field Theories in general backgrounds through the lens of the path integral, in the formulation known as the Functorial QFT. With the aim of studying properties of strongly coupled QFTs, we present key…
In this paper we discuss $SU(5)^{3}$ with cyclic symmetry as a possible grand unified theory (GUT). The basic idea of such a tri-unification is that there is a separate $SU(5)$ for each fermion family, with the light Higgs doublet(s)…
The trinification grand unified theory (GUT) has gauge group SU(3)^3 and a discrete symmetry permuting the SU(3) factors. In common with other GUTs, the attractive nature of the fermionic multiplet assignments is obviated by the complicated…
An ab initio calculation of nuclear physics from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental SU(3) gauge theory of the strong interaction, remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we discuss the emergence of key elements of nuclear physics…
We consider quantum transition amplitudes, partition functions and observables for 3D spin foam models within $SU(2)$ quantum group deformation symmetry, where the deformation parameter is a complex fifth root of unity. By considering…
In a sense of deformation quantization, noncommutative (NC) geometry introduces a quantum structure of spacetime. Using the twist-deformation formalism, we show that the dynamical effects of spacetime noncommutativity can amount to a…
The noncommutative (NC) framework elaborated by Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts (DFR) has a Lorentz invariant spacetime structure in order to be considered as a candidate to understand the physics of the early Universe. In DFR formalism…
In many inflationary models, a large amount of energy is transferred rapidly to the long-wavelength matter fields during a period of preheating after inflation. We study how this changes the dynamics of the electroweak phase transition if…
The structure of quantum interactions with fields of helicity two ("gravitons") is strongly constrained by three principles: positivity (Hilbert space), covariance, and locality of observables. To fulfil them simultaneously, some…
The description of electroweak physics using perturbation theory is highly successful. Though not obvious, this is due to a subtle field-theoretical effect, the Fr\"ohlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism, which links the physical spectrum to…
A modified formulation of the Electroweak Model with 3-dimensional spherical geometry in the target space is suggested. The {\it free} Lagrangian in the spherical field space along with the standard gauge field Lagrangian form the full…
Models with spontaneously broken parity symmetry can solve the strong $CP$ problem in a natural way. We construct such a model in the context of $\SU3^3$ unification. Parity has the conventional meaning in this model, and the gauge group is…
We have analyzed and proposed coupling mechanisms between Three Josephson Junction Flux Qubits (3JJQ). For this, we have developed a numerical method to extract the effective Hamiltonian of a system of coupled qubits via the…
From the quantum field theory point of view, matter and gauge fields are generally expected to be localised around branes or topological defects occurring in extra dimensions. Here I discuss a simple scenario where, by starting with a five…
