In this article which is the first of a series of three, we consider $\mathcal W({\mathfrak{sl}_d})$-symmetric conformal field theory in topological regimes for a generic value of the background charge, where $\mathcal W({\mathfrak{sl}_d})$…
Generally, quantum field theories can be thought as deformations away from conformal field theories. In this article, with a simple bottom up model assumed to possess a holographic description, we study a putative large N quantum field…
We consider the gravity interacting with matter scalar fields and quantized in the minisuperspace approach in which the wave functional is described by the Wheeler-DeWitt equations (WdW). Assuming the domination of the homogeneous and…
The nonlocal regularization method, recently proposed in ref.\,\ct{emkw91,kw92,kw93}, is extended to general gauge theories by reformulating it along the ideas of the antibracket-antifield formalism. From the interplay of both frameworks a…
Contacts between particles in dense, sheared suspensions are believed to underpin much of their rheology. Roughness and adhesion are known to constrain the relative motion of particles, and thus globally affect the shear response, but an…
The description of chiral quantum incompressible fluids by the W-infinity symmetry can be extended from the edge, where it encompasses the conformal field theory approach, to the non-conformal bulk. The two regimes are characterized by…
Nonlinear Hall effect arises in materials without inversion symmetry, and the intrinsic contribution is typically from Berry curvature dipole of non-universal Fermi pockets. Here we propose that nonlinear Hall effect can reach quantization…
The Thirring model and various generalizations of it are analyzed in detail. The four-Fermi interaction modifies the equation of state. Chemical potentials and twisted boundary conditions both result in complex fermionic determinants which…
Recently we have discussed realization of an exact chiral symmetry in theories with self-interacting fermions on the lattice, based upon an auxiliary field method. In this paper we describe construction of the lattice chiral symmetry and…
The worldline formalism is a useful scheme in quantum field theory which has also become a powerful tool for numerical computations. The key ingredient in this formalism is the first quantization of an auxiliary point-particle whose…
We start this work by revisiting the problem of the soldering of two chiral Schwinger models of opposite chiralities. We verify that, in contrast with what one can conclude from the soldering literature, the usual sum of these models is, in…
We study the soldering of two Siegel chiral bosons into one scalar field in a gravitational background.
We study general perturbations of two-dimensional conformal field theories by holomorphic fields. It is shown that the genus one partition function is controlled by a contact term (pre-Lie) algebra given in terms of the operator product…
The full non-linear structure of the action and transformation rules for $\W_N$-gravity coupled to matter are obtained from a non-linear truncation of those for $w_ \infty$ gravity. The geometry of the construction is discussed, and it is…
We introduce a new formulation of the real-spectral-triple formalism in non-commutative geometry (NCG): we explain its mathematical advantages and its success in capturing the structure of the standard model of particle physics. The idea,…
We prove that particle models whose action is given by the integrated $n$-th curvature function over the world line possess $n+1$ gauge invariances. A geometrical characterization of these symmetries is obtained via Frenet equations by…
Utilizing the worldline formalism we study the effects of demanding local interactions on the corresponding vertex factor. We begin by reviewing the familiar case of a relativistic particle in Minkowksi space, showing that localization…
In the present work we solve the motion equations of a particle in a Paul trap embeded in the gravitational field of a spherically symmetric mass. One of the ideas behind this work concerns the analysis of the effects that the…
We discuss various topics in supergravity: gaugings, double field theory and $N=2$ $D=4$ BPS multicenter black holes. We introduce the main features of supergravity, focusing on the aspects of gauged supergravities. We study the…
A wide array of deep-inelastic-scattering and hadron collider experiments have tested the predictions of the electroweak theory and measured its parameters, while also searching for new particles and processes. We summarise recent…
