We construct local, unitary gauge theories that violate Lorentz symmetry explicitly at high energies and are renormalizable by weighted power counting. They contain higher space derivatives, which improve the behavior of propagators at…
Recent lattice simulations of $(\lambda \Phi^4)_4$ theories in the broken phase show that : a) the shifted field propagator is well reproduced by the simple 2-parameter form ${{Z_{\rm prop}}\over{p^2 + M^2_h}}$ at finite momenta but…
In this work, we study the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking due to an antisymmetric 2-tensor field in Minkowski spacetime. For a smooth quadratic potential, the spectrum of the theory exhibits massless and massive excitations. We show…
The propagator for the massless vector field in de Sitter space cannot maintain de Sitter invariance in the general covaraint gauge, except in the exactly transverse gauge limit. This is due to a previously overlooked Ward-Takahashi…
The symmetries of a scalar field theory in multifractional spacetimes are analyzed. The free theory realizes the Poincar\'e algebra, and the associated symmetries are modifications of ordinary translations and Lorentz transformations. In…
We decompose the quark propagator in the presence of an arbitrary gluon field with respect to a set of Dirac matrices. The four-dimensional integrals which arise in first order perturbation theory are rewritten as line-integrals along…
We examine a large class of scalar quantum field theories where vertices are able to cancel adjacent propagators. These theories are obtained as diffeomorphisms of the field variable of a free field. Their connected correlations functions…
The spectrum of the massive CPT-odd Yang-Mills propagator with Lorentz violation is performed at tree-level. The modification is due to mass terms generated by the exigence of multiplicative renormalizability of Yang-Mills theory with…
We have obtained propagators in the position space as an expansion over Landau levels for the charged scalar particle, fermion, and massive vector boson in a constant external magnetic field. The summation terms in the resulting expressions…
The lattice Landau gauge photon propagator for the pure gauge theory is revisited using large lattices. For the confined case we show that it has an associated linearly growing potential, it has a mass gap, that is related to the presence…
We show that the Feynman propagator in the light-cone gauge with the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt prescription has a logarithmic growth for large $\tilde{n}\cdot x$ which is related to the presence of a residual gauge invariance. Furthermore, we…
We study a theory where the presence of an extra spin-two field coupled to gravity gives rise to a phase with spontaneously broken Lorentz symmetry. In this phase gravity is massive, and the Weak Equivalence Principle is respected. The…
Gauge fields are special in the sense that they are invariant under gauge transformations and \emph{``ipso facto''} they lead to problems when we try quantizing them straightforwardly. To circumvent this problem we need to specify a gauge…
For the first time, as far as we know, in field theory are found explicit forms of propagators satisfying the K\"allen -- Lehmann representation. To be exact, it is shown that scalar meson propagators, taking into account a virtual…
The propagator of the discrete Schr\"odinger equation is computed and its properties are revealed through a Feynman path summation in discrete space. Initial data problems such as diffraction in discrete space and continuous time are…
Gauge fields are special in the sense that they are invariant under gauge transformations and \QTR{em}{``ipso facto''} they lead to problems when we try quantizing them straightforwardly. To circumvent this problem we need to specify a…
In this paper we study the propagator of a vector fields on a euclidean maximally-symmetric background in arbitrary space-time dimensions. We study two cases of interest: Massive and massless vector fields. In each case we computed the…
In previous work, a lattice scalar propagator was rigorously defined in $d=1$ flat space and shown to equal the known Klein-Gordon propagator of QFT. This work generalizes this lattice propagator to manifolds whose universal cover is the…
The 2d gauge theory on the lattice is equivalent to the twisted Eguchi-Kawai model, which we simulated at N ranging from 25 to 515. We observe a clear large N scaling for the 1- and 2-point function of Wilson loops, as well as the 2-point…
We consider in detail the analytic behaviour of the non-interacting massless scalar field two-point function in H.S. Snyder's discretized non-commuting spacetime. The propagator we find is purely real on the Euclidean side of the complex…
