Line waves are recently discovered wave entities that are localized along two directions, and therefore can be viewed as the one-dimensional counterpart of surface waves. These waves can be supported at discontinuities of the surface…
We study the hybrid inflationary potential in a regime where the defect field is light, and more than 60 e-folds of accelerated expansion occur after the symmetry breaking transition. Using analytic and numerical techniques, we then…
We modify the symmetric-teleparallel dark energy through the addition of a further Yukawa-like term, in which the non-metricity scalar, $Q$, is non-minimally coupled to a scalar field Lagrangian where the phion acts as quintessence,…
A complete set of Feynman rules is derived, which permits a perturbative description of the nonequilibrium dynamics of a symmetry-breaking phase transition in $\lambda\phi^4$ theory in an expanding universe. In contrast to a naive expansion…
We show that very large nonlocal nonlinear interactions between pairs of colliding slow-light pulses can be realized in atomic vapors in the regime of electromagnetically induced transparency. These nonlinearities are mediated by strong,…
We discuss the issue of complementarity between the confining phase and the Higgs phase for gauge theories in which there are no light particles below the scale of confinement or spontaneous symmetry breaking. We show with a number of…
We consider a scalar-tensor theory in teleparallel gravity where a general function of the scalar field, f(phi), is non-minimally coupled to the torsion scalar T. First, we derive the field equations in this framework. Then, we study the…
We apply the coherent state approach to study the noncommutative scalar field theory with $\phi^4$ self-interaction and Yukawa coupling to the spinor field. We verify that, contrarily to the commutative result, the scattering amplitude is…
We describe a novel duality symmetry of Phi(4)-theory defined on noncommutative Euclidean space and with noncommuting momentum coordinates. This duality acts on the fields by Fourier transformation and scaling. It is an extension, to…
The spontaneous symmetry breaking in noncommutative $\lambda\Phi^4$ theory has been analyzed by using the formalism of the effective action for composite operators in the Hartree-Fock approximation. It turns out that there is no phase…
We show that a recently discovered non-perturbative field-theoretical mechanism giving mass to elementary fermions, is also capable of generating a mass for the electro-weak bosons and can thus be used as a viable alternative to the Higgs…
This is the second of two companion papers in which we continue developing the construction of an elementary particle model with no Higgs. Here we show that the recently identified non-perturbative field-theoretical feature, alternative to…
Assuming a double-well bare potential for a self-interacting scalar field, with the Higgs vacuum expectation value, it is shown that non-perturbative quantum corrections naturally lead to ultra-light particles of mass $\simeq10^{-23}$eV, if…
Considering the action for the theory $\lambda\phi^{4}$ for a massive scalar bosonic field as an entropy functional on the space of coupling constants and on the space of fields, we determine the gradient flows for the scalar field, the…
We show how to renormalize Phi-derivable approximations in a theory with a fermionic field coupled to a self-interacting scalar field through a Yukawa interaction. The nonperturbative renormalization concerns the self-interaction coupling…
We examine quintessence models for dark energy in which the scalar field, $\phi$, evolves near the vicinity of a local maximum or minimum in the potential $V(\phi)$, so that $V(\phi)$ be approximated by a quadratic function of $\phi$ with…
Slow dynamics in glassy systems is often interpreted as due to thermally activated events between "metastable" states. This emphasizes the role of nonperturbative fluctuations, which is especially dramatic when these fluctuations destroy a…
A detailed dynamical analysis of the tachyonic teleparallel dark energy model, in which a non-canonical scalar field (tachyon field) is non-minimally coupled to gravitation, is performed. It is found that, when the non-minimal coupling is…
We present a type of dark energy models where the particles of dark energy phi are dynamically produced via a quantum transition at very low energies. The scale where the transition takes places depends on the strength g of the interaction…
Two problems of the Standard Model, associated with the introduction of non-gauge interactions and with the introduction of an electromagnetic field as a linear combination of fields on which various gauge groups are implemented, are…
