One of the major problems in developing new physics scenarios is that very often the parameters can be adjusted such that in perturbation theory almost all experimental low-energy results can be accommodated. It is therefore desirable to…
Formal field theory requires, even in the presence of a Brout-Englert-Higgs effect, to maintain manifest non-perturbative gauge invariance. The Fr\"ohlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism allows nonetheless an augmented perturbative treatment. We…
Taking manifest invariance under both gauge symmetry and diffeomorphisms as a guiding principle physical objects are constructed for Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to quantum gravity. These objects are entirely classified by quantum…
Physics in (canonical) quantum gravity needs to be manifestly diffeomorphism-invariant. Consequently, physical observables need to be formulated in terms of manifestly diffeomorphism-invariant operators, which are necessarily composite.…
The electroweak gauge symmetry cannot be broken in a literal sense due to Elitzur's theorem. Thus, asymptotic states need to be manifestly and non-perturbatively gauge-invariant with respect to the electroweak symmetry. To take this…
A manifestly diffeomorphism-invariant approach to canonical quantum gravity requires to use composite operators. These can be considered to be bound states of matter and/or gravitons, intrinsically non-perturbative objects. An analytical…
Gauge invariance requires physical states to be composite, even in the weak sector of the Standard Model (SM). The Fr\"ohlich-Morchio-Strocchi (FMS) mechanism resolves this subtlety and predicts additional Higgs contributions in SM…
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…
Classical Electrodynamics is not a consistent theory because of its field inadequate behaviour in the vicinity of their sources. Its problems with the electron equation of motion and with non-integrable singularity of the electron self…
We reconsider the gauge hierarchy problem from the viewpoint of effective field theories and a high-energy physics, motivated by the alternative scenario that the standard model holds up to a high-energy scale such as the Planck scale. The…
The manifestly gauge-invariant and non-perturbatively complete lattice formulation of the weak interactions and the Brout-Englert-Higgs effect is connected to the usual perturbative description in phenomenology via the…
The requirement of manifest gauge invariance leads to a conflict between perturbative and non-perturbative predictions for the low-energy spectra of grand-unified theories. These conflicts already emerge in simplified prototype models of…
The physical, observable spectrum in gauge theories is made up from gauge-invariant states. The Fr\"ohlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism allows in the standard model to map these states to the gauge-dependent elementary $W$, $Z$ and Higgs…
The Higgs mechanism is one of the central pieces of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions and thanks to it we can generate the masses of the elementary particles. Its fundamental origin is nonetheless unknown. Furthermore, in order…
Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model in describing fundamental interactions, unresolved phenomena such as dark matter, dark energy, and matter-antimatter asymmetry strongly suggest the existence of physics beyond the…
The classical theory of electrodynamics is built upon Maxwell's equations and the concepts of electromagnetic (EM) field, force, energy, and momentum, which are intimately tied together by Poynting's theorem and by the Lorentz force law.…
It is commonly believed as a fundamental principle that energy-momentum conservation of a physical system is the result of space-time symmetry. However, for classical particle-field systems, e.g., charged particles interacting through…
We point out a novel possible mechanism by which the electroweak hierarchy problem can be avoided in the (effective) quantum field theory. Assuming the existence of a UV complete underlying fundamental theory and treating the cutoff scale…
The accurate theoretical treatment of low-energy electro-weak processes in lightest nuclei is of great current importance not only in the context of nuclear physics {\it per se} but also from the astrophysical and particle-physics…
Nearly all field theories suffer from singularities when particles are introduced. This is true in both classical and quantum physics. Classical field singularities result in the notorious self-force problem, where it is unknown how the…
