The impact of the resummed next-to-leading logarithmic small-$x$ contributions to the anomalous dimension $\gamma_{gg}$ is evaluated for the unpolarized parton densities and structure functions of the nucleon. These new terms diminish the…
We analyze the quantum phase transition between a semimetal and a superfluid in a model of attractively interacting fermions with a linear dispersion. The quantum critical properties of this model cannot be treated by the Hertz-Millis…
We derive an anomalous, sub-diffusive scaling limit for a one-dimensional version of the Mott random walk. The limiting process can be viewed heuristically as a one-dimensional diffusion with an absolutely continuous speed measure and a…
We present a renormalized computational framework for the evolution of a self-interacting scalar field (inflaton) and its quantum fluctuations in an FRW background geometry. We include a coupling of the field to the Ricci scalar with a…
Constituent quark models, while successful, require a great deal of fine tuning of the short distance interactions by introducing phenomenological gluonic form factors which are ultimately designed to accurately reproduce the spectrum. We…
The evolution of the scale parameter in the Hu-Sawicki model is examined. We search the parameter area for instabilities. It turns out the parameter area of physically meaningful evolution is non-existent. For greater stability a…
The QCD coupling, $\alpha_s$, is not a physical observable since it depends on conventions related to the renormalization procedure. Here we discuss a redefinition of the coupling where changes of scheme are parametrised by a single…
We study the mechanism responsible for the onset of instabilities in a chiral phase transition at nonzero temperature and baryon chemical potential. As a low-energy effective model, we consider an expanding relativistic plasma of quarks…
Conformal fluctuations of the metric tensor at the Planck scale are considered. They give rise to a lower bound of the proper length. This leads to finite expressions for quantities related to propagators without the need of renormalization…
$U(1)^\prime$ extensions of the standard model with generation-dependent couplings to quarks and leptons are investigated as an explanation of anomalies in rare $B$-decays, with an emphasis on stability and predictivity up to the Planck…
We study the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions generated by the BFKL equation in 4+2 epsilon dimensions, by investigating both running coupling effects, and the inclusion of the full next-to-leading kernel. After generalising…
Quantum gravity can determine the dependence of gauge couplings in a scalar field, which is related to possible fifth forces and time varying fundamental "constants". This prediction is based on the scaling solution of functional flow…
Bloom-Gilman duality relates parton distributions to nucleon form factors and thus constrains the dynamics of exclusive processes. The quark electric charge dependence implies that exclusive scattering is incoherent on the quarks even at…
Chameleon mechanism appearing in massive tensor-scalar theory of gravity can effectively reduce locally the non-minimal coupling between the scalar field and matter. This mechanism is invoked to reconcile large-scale departures from general…
We present a comparative analysis of chiral quark models which include nonlocal covariant four-fermion couplings. We consider two alternative ways of introducing the nonlocality, as well as various shapes for the momentum-dependent form…
We propose an extension of the standard model with an extra U(1)' abelian symmetry, three Higgs doublets and one Higgs singlet, where the new U(1)' charges are flavour non-universal. As a result, the model introduces an enlarger particle…
The trace anomaly of gluodynamics encodes the breakdown of classical scale invariance due to interactions around the deconfinement phase transition. While it is expected that at high temperatures perturbation theory becomes applicable we…
We show the existence of unstable color skyrmions in a class of nonabelian fluid models. Oscillating and expanding solutions are found in the time-dependent case.
In the QCD energy-momentum tensor $T^{\mu\nu}$, the terms that contribute to physical matrix elements are expressed as the sum of the gauge-invariant quark part and gluon part. Each part undergoes the renormalization due to the interactions…
We study the operator description of the gluon spin contribution ($\Gamma$) to the nucleon's spin as it is measured in deep inelastic processes. $\Gamma$ can be related to the forward matrix element of a local gluon operator in $A^+=0$…
