The Einstein-Proca action is known to have asymptotically locally Lifshitz spacetimes as classical solutions. For dynamical exponent z=2, two-point correlation functions for fluctuations around such a geometry are derived analytically. It…
We consider the massless two-loop two-point function with arbitrary powers of the propagators and derive a representation, from which we can obtain the Laurent expansion to any desired order in the dimensional regularization parameter eps.…
We review the techniques necessary for the calculation of virtual electroweak and soft photonic corrections at the one-loop level. In particular we describe renormalization, calculation of one-loop integrals and evaluation of one-loop…
The existence of noncompatible observables in quantum theory makes a direct operational interpretation of two-point correlation functions problematic. Here we challenge such a view by explicitly constructing a measuring scheme that,…
We study the complete non-decoupling effects of the standard model Higgs boson to one loop. Using effective field theory methods, we integrate out the Higgs boson and represent its non-decoupling effects by a set of gauge invariant…
We examine three point functions with two scalar operators and a higher spin current in 2d W_N minimal model to the next non-trivial order in 1/N expansion. The minimal model was proposed to be dual to a 3d higher spin gauge theory, and 1/N…
In this work the collective modes of an effective kinetic theory description based on the Boltzmann equation in relaxation time approximation applicable to gauge theories at weak but finite coupling and low frequencies are studied. Real…
We describe a non-perturbative quantization of classical Wilson loops in the WZW model. The quantized Wilson loop is an operator acting on the Hilbert space of closed strings and commuting either with the full Kac-Moody chiral algebra or…
Two-point density-density correlation functions for the diffusive binary reaction system $A+A\to\emptyset$ are obtained in one dimension via Monte Carlo simulation. The long-time behavior of these correlation functions clearly deviates from…
We consider an exclusion process on a ring in which a particle hops to an empty neighbouring site with a rate that depends on the number of vacancies $n$ in front of it. In the steady state, using the well known mapping of this model to the…
As a preparation for the study of {\it arbitrary} extensions of $d=2$ gravity we present a detailed investigation of $SO(N)$ supergravity. By gauging a chiral, nilpotent subgroup of the $OSp(N|2)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model we obtain an all…
We propose a simple parameterization of the two-point correlator of hadronic electromagnetic currents for the evaluation of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. The parameterization is explicitly done in the…
We give a general expression for the Weyl tensor two-point function in a general Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime. We work in reduced phase space for the perturbations, i.e., quantize only the dynamical degrees of freedom…
We calculate the vacuum-to-vacuum correlator of two quark tensor currents with two massive quarks, retaining full momentum dependence. For the first time, we include perturbative corrections up to next-to-leading order. Our fully analytical…
We explore how to compute, classically at strong coupling, correlation functions of local operators corresponding to classical spinning string states. The picture we obtain is of `fattened' Witten diagrams, the evaluation of which turns out…
We compute the two-loop $\beta$-function of scalar and spinorial quantum electrodynamics as well as pure Yang-Mills and quantum chromodynamics using the background field method in a fully quadridimensional setup using Implicit…
We calculate the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective potential of the O(N) linear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions. The approximations we use are the next-to-leading order of a 1/N expansion (for arbitrary N) and a kind of "resummed loop…
Using a recently developed extension of the time-dependent variational principle for matrix product states, we evaluate the dynamics of 2D power-law interacting XXZ models, implementable in a variety of state-of-the-art experimental…
Using a gauge invariant reduction we directly integrate the SL(2,R)/U(1) WZNW theory. We prove that the conserved parafermions of this theory are coset currents. Quantum mechanically, the parafermion algebra, the energy-momentum tensor, and…
The two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ Wess-Zumino (WZ) model with a cubic superpotential is numerically studied with a momentum-cutoff regularization that preserves supersymmetry. A numerical algorithm based on the Nicolai map is employed…
