We argue that the structure general relativity (GR) as a theory of affine defects is deeper than the standard interpretation as a metric theory of gravitation. Einstein-Cartan theory (EC), with its inhomogenous affine symmetry, should be…
A general construction of integrable hierarchies based on affine Lie algebras is presented. The models are specified according to some algebraic data and their time evolution is obtained from solutions of the zero curvature condition. Such…
The sine-Gordon model appears as the low-energy effective field theory of various one-dimensional gapped quantum systems. Here we investigate the dynamics of generic, non-integrable systems belonging to the sine-Gordon family at finite…
The non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory with the single-valued anyonic field is proposed as an example of q-deformed field theory. The corresponding q-deformed algebra interpolating between bosons and fermions,both in position and momentum…
The set of real finite-gap Sine-Gordon solutions corresponding to a fixed spectral curve consists of several connected components. A simple explicit description of these components obtained by the authors recently is used to study the…
We explore the quantum transmission through open oval shaped quantum dots. The transmission spectra show periodic resonances and, depending on the geometry parameter, a strong suppression of the transmission for low energies. Applying a…
Construction of integrable field theories in space with a boundary is extended to fermionic models. We obtain general forms of boundary interactions consistent with integrability of the massive Thirring model and study the duality…
We consider the two-dimensional quantum field theory of a scalar field self-interacting via two periodic terms of frequencies $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Looking at the theory as a perturbed Sine-Gordon model, we use Form Factor Perturbation…
In these 4 lectures, I give a brief introduction to the principles of effective field theory and discuss their application via 3 examples: (i) the Standard Model as an effective theory; (ii) non-linear sigma models and the composite Higgs;…
The idea of defining a gravitational singularity as an obstruction to the dynamical evolution of a test field (described by a PDE) rather than the dynamical evolution of a particle (described by a geodesics) is explored. In particular, the…
Singular complex analytic vector fields on the Riemann surfaces enjoy several geometric properties (singular means that poles and essential singularities are admissible). We describe relations between singular complex analytic vector fields…
Effective gravitational field theories with background fields break local Lorentz symmetry and diffeomorphism invariance. Examples include Chern-Simons gravity, massive gravity, and the Standard-Model Extension (SME). The physical…
Representation theory is shown to be incomplete in terms of enumerating all integrable limits of quantum systems. As a consequence, one can find exactly solvable Hamiltonians which have apparently strongly broken symmetry. The number of…
Efficient all-photonic quantum teleportation requires fast and deterministic sources of highly indistinguishable and entangled photons. Solid-state-based quantum emitters--notably semiconductor quantum dots--are a promising candidate for…
Our understanding of irrelevant perturbations of integrable quantum field theories has greatly expanded over the last decade. In particular, we know that, from a scattering theory viewpoint at least, their effect is realised as a…
The dual relationship between two n-1 parameter families of quantum field theories based on extended complex numbers is investigated in two dimensions. The non-local conserved charges approach is used. The lowest rank affine Toda field…
The algebraic structure of the integrable mixed mKdV/sinh-Gordon model is discussed and \textit{}extended to the AKNS/Lund-Regge model and to its corresponding supersymmetric versions. The integrability of the models is guaranteed from the…
We extend integrable systems on quad-graphs, such as the Hirota equation and the cross-ratio equation, to the non-commutative context, when the fields take values in an arbitrary associative algebra. We demonstrate that the…
Our main result is the analysis of singularities of integrands of integrals representing matrix elements of scattering matrix and inclusive scattering matrix in perturbation theory. These results are proven for any quantum field theory in…
We study a new family of models of the sine-Gordon type, starting from the sine-Gordon model, including the double sine-Gordon, the triple one, and so on. The models appears as deformations of the starting model, with the deformation…
