We introduce the group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, mainly from the point of view of loop quantum gravity, stressing its promising aspects. We outline the foundations of the formalism, survey recent results and offer a…
The central theme of this thesis is to study some aspects of noncommutative quantum mechanics and noncommutative quantum field theory. We explore how noncommutative structures can emerge and study the consequences of such structures in…
Generalizing the noncommutative harmonic oscillator construction, we propose a new extension of quantum field theory based on the concept of "noncommutative fields". Our description permits to break the usual particle-antiparticle…

We review recent theoretical developments in heavy quarkonium physics from the point of view of Effective Field Theories of QCD. We discuss Non-Relativistic QCD and concentrate on potential Non-Relativistic QCD. Our main goal will be to…
Quantum field theory has formed the conceptual framework of most of physics for more than sixty years. It incorporates a complete revision of our conception of the nature of matter and existence itself. Yet it is rarely taught, or even…
Field mediated entanglement experiments probe the quantum superposition of macroscopically distinct field configurations. We show that this phenomenon can be described by using a transparent quantum field theoretical formulation of…
We consider quantum theory of fields \phi defined on a D dimensional manifold (bulk) with an interaction V(\phi) concentrated on a d<D dimensional surface (brane). Such a quantum field theory can be less singular than the one in d…
In these lectures we review our present understanding of the fractal structure of two-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity coupled to matter.
Physics beyond the standard model can affect top-quark physics indirectly. We describe the effective field theory approach to describing such physics, and contrast it with the vertex-function approach that has been pursued previously. We…
The effective field theory relevant for the analysis of QCD at low energies is reviewed. The foundations of the method are discussed in some detail and a few illustrative examples are described.
We present the case for a fundamentally discrete quantum spacetime and for Group Field Theories as a candidate consistent description of it, briefly reviewing the key properties of the GFT formalism. We then argue that the outstanding…
There are many possible gravitational applications of an effective approach to Quantum Field Theory (QFT) in curved space. We present a brief review of effective approach and discuss its impact for such relevant issues as the cosmological…
