We examine the renormalizability problem of spontaneously broken non-Abelian gauge theory on noncommutative spacetime. We show by an explicit analysis of the U(2) case that ultraviolet divergences can be removed at one loop level with the…
In this paper we put forward a running coupling scenario for describing the interaction between dark energy and dark matter. The dark sector interaction in our scenario is free of the assumption that the interaction term $Q$ is proportional…
We investigate the two-points correlation function for several boundary-driven interacting particle systems. Our goal is to show that the time evolution of that correlation function is solution to a partial differential equation that can be…
The renormalization group flow in two-dimensional field theories that are coupled to gravity has unusual features: First, the flow equations are second order in derivatives. Second, in the presence of handles the flow has quantum mechanical…
We study the interplay between crossing symmetry and entanglement in $2 \to 2$ scattering within local quantum field theories that possess an $SU(N)$ global symmetry. In particular, we recast scattering amplitudes of fixed helicity as…
In this Thesis we study quantum corrections to the classical dynamics for mean values in field theory. To that end we make use of the formalism of the closed time path effective action to get real and causal equations of motion. We…
We study the perturbative phase diagram of semi-simple fermionic gauge theories resembling the Standard Model. We investigate an $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $M$ Dirac flavors where we gauge first an $SU(M)_L$ and then an $SU(2)_L \subset…
We introduce a class of self-interacting scalar theories in which the various coupling contants obey a recursive relation. These imply a particularly simple form for the generating function of the Feynman amplitudes with vanishing external…
Using renormalized field theory, we examine the dynamics of a growing surface, driven by an obliquely incident particle beam. Its projection on the reference (substrate) plane selects a ``parallel'' direction, so that the evolution equation…
We derive a renormalization group formalism for the Randall-Sundrum scenario, where the renormalization scale is set by a floating compactification radius. While inspired by the AdS/CFT conjecture, our results are derived concretely within…
Disordered systems are interesting for many physical reasons. In this article, we study the renormalization group property of quenched disorder systems in the presence of a boundary. We construct examples of scalar field theories in various…
In this paper we calculate the leading divergences of the effective potential for an arbitrary scalar theory on a curved spacetime background. Based on the recurrence relation between the leading poles following from the locality condition,…
The Renormalization Group Flow Equations of the Scalar-QED model near Planck's scale are computed within the framework of the average effective action. Exact Flow Equations, corrected by Einstein Gravity, for the running self-interacting…

A specific algebraic coupling model involving multiple quantization axes is presented in which previously indistinguishable SU(2) symmetry groups become distinguishable when coupled into a SU(3) group structure. The model reveals new…
We study the behaviour of quantum field theories defined on a surface $S$ as it tends to a null surface $S_n$. In the case of a real, free scalar field theory the above limiting procedure reduces the system to one with a finite number of…
We study the two-dimensional gauge theory of the symmetric group S_n describing the statistics of branched n-coverings of Riemann surfaces. We consider the theory defined on the disk and on the sphere in the large-n limit. A non trivial…
The classical random walk isomorphism theorems relate the local times of a continuous-time random walk to the square of a Gaussian free field. A Gaussian free field is a spin system that takes values in Euclidean space, and this article…
We study the regularization ambiguities in an exact renormalized (1+1)-dimensional field theory. We show a relation between the regularization ambiguities and the coupling parameters of the theory as well as their role in the implementation…
In this work, we present a recurrence relation for the instanton partition function of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SYM $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $2N$ fundamental multiplets. The main difficulty lies in determining the asymptotic behaviour of the…
