By integrating out the heavy fields in type II or heterotic string field theory one can construct the effective action for the light fields. This effective theory inherits all the algebraic structures of the parent theory and the effective…
We study the large $N$ phase diagram of an asymptotically free UV completion of $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ super-Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory coupled to a single massive fundamental scalar multiplet with a quartic superpotential coupling. We…
Modified gravity theories with a screening mechanism have acquired much interest recently in the quest for a viable alternative to General Relativity on cosmological scales, given their intrinsic property of being able to pass Solar System…
We derive a (Wilsonian) effective field theory of QCD at finite density by integrating out the states in the Dirac sea when the chemical potential $\mu\gg\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. The quark-gluon coupling is effectively (1+1)-dimensional and the…
Could a conformal Galileon be describing a gauge mode of a broader diffeomorphism invariant theory? We answer this question affirmatively in 3D by using a coset construction for a nonlinearly realized conformal symmetry. In particular, we…
We present a new test of the modified gravity endowed with the Vainshtein mechanism with the density profile of a galaxy cluster halo observed through gravitational lensing. A scalar degree of freedom in the galileon modified gravity is…
We provide a complete classification of all abelian gauge invariant $p$-form theories with equations of motion depending only on the second derivative of the field---the $p$-form analogues of the Galileon scalar field theory. We construct…
This thesis studies matrix field theories, which are a special type of matrix models. First, the different types of applications are pointed out, from (noncommutative) quantum field theory over 2-dimensional quantum gravity up to algebraic…
We present a quantum quadratic gravity inflationary scenario that can accommodate the new cosmological constraints, which have disfavored Starobinsky inflation. The theory is asymptotically free in the ultraviolet, but 1-loop running is…
Galileons are higher-derivative theories of a real scalar which nevertheless admit second order equations of motion. They have interesting applications as dark energy models and in early universe cosmology, and have been conjectured to…
A new approach is demonstrated that QFTs can be UV finite if they are viewed as the low energy effective theories of a fundamental underlying theory (that is complete and well-defined in all respects) according to the nowaday's standard…
Gaussian quantum mechanics is a powerful tool regularly used in quantum optics to model linear and quadratic Hamiltonians efficiently. Recent interest in qubit-CV hybrid models has revealed a simple, yet important gap in our knowledge,…
Effective field theory methods allow us to modify general relativity through higher-curvature corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action, while preserving Lorentz invariance and the number of gravitational degrees of freedom. We here…
Many recent works on large N holographic QCD in the planar limit have not considered UV completions, restricting exclusively towards analyzing the IR physics. Due to this, the UV problems like Landau poles and divergences of Wilson loops…
\textit{Ab initio} quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods in principle allow for the calculation of exact properties of correlated many-electron systems, but are in general limited to the simulation of a finite number of electrons $N$ in…
We prove the existence and give a construction procedure of Euclidean-invariant exact solutions to the Wetterich equation in $d > 2$ dimensions satisfying the naive boundary condition of a massive and interacting real scalar $\phi^4$ theory…
Galileon models are a class of effective field theories that have recently received much attention. They arise in the decoupling limit of theories of massive gravity, and in some cases they have been treated in their own right as scalar…
We study the Vainshtein screening mechanism in Horndeski theories in the presence of a scalar field $\phi$ nonminimally and kinetically coupled to ordinary matter field. A general interacting Lagrangian describing this coupling is…
We consider multi-Galileon theory, the most general Galilean invariant theory with $N$ scalar fields linearly coupled to the trace of the stress-energy tensor. We study the behavior of perturbations on a static spherically symmetric…
A framework for UV completing particle theories is proposed, based on the worldline formalism, which is equivalent to weighting all sums over histories with a proper-time dependent measure that has a smallest proper-time. We deduce a…
