The one-loop effective potential calculated for a generic model that originates from 5-dimensional theory reduced down to 4 dimensions is considered. The cut-off and dimensional regularization schemes are discussed and compared. It is…

We discuss the influence of gravitational effects on the stabilization of the chromomagnetic vacuum. The one-loop effective potential for a covariantly constant SU(2) gauge field in ${\bf S}^2 \times {\bf R}^2$ and ${\bf T}^2 \times {\bf…

The new approach to the microscopic description of the phase transitions starting from the only first principles was developed on an example of the transition normal metal-superconductor. This means mathematically, that the free energy is…

We investigate stability of the Higgs effective potential in curved spacetime. To this end, we consider the gauge-less top-Higgs sector with an additional scalar field. Explicit form of the terms proportional to the squares of the Ricci…

We study gauge theories with N=1 supersymmetry in 2+1 dimensions. We start by calculating the 1-loop effective superpotential for matter in an arbitrary representation. We then restrict ourselves to gauge theories with fundamental matter.…

It is shown that gauge theories are most naturally studied via a polar decomposition of the field variable. Gauge transformations may be viewed as those that leave the density invariant but change the phase variable by additive amounts. The…

A variational method is used to analyse compact U(1) gauge theory in 2+1-dimensions at finite temperature, T, weak coupling, g and where the fundamental magnetic monopoles have magnetic charge 2\pi n/g. The theory undergoes a critical…

Gaussian states, operations, and measurements are central building blocks for continuous-variable quantum information processing which paves the way for abundant applications, especially including network-based quantum computation and…

We consider the gauge fixed partition function of pure $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory in axial gauge following the Halpern's field strength formalism. We integrate over $3 (N_c^2-1)$ field strengths using the Bianchi identities and obtain an…

We examine the effective theory of single-field inflation in the limit where the scalar perturbations propagate with a small speed of sound. In this case the non-linearly realized time-translation symmetry of the Lagrangian implies large…

The three dimensional U(1) Lattice Gauge, in the weak coupling limit, is dual to a Discrete Gaussian model. We investigate this dual model and use it to calculate properties of the U(1) theory. We find that, because of the nature of the…

We investigate gauge-invariant nonlinear electrodynamics in the Pleba\'nski first-order Hamiltonian formulation, taking the single-invariant potential $\hat V(P)$ as the primary object. Our focus is on the existence of stable…

We extensively explore three different aspects of Born-Infeld (BI) type nonlinear $U(1)$ gauge-invariant modifications of Maxwell's classical electrodynamics (also known as BI-type nonlinear electrodynamics) and bring some new perspectives…

We consider an N=1 U(N) gauge theory with matter in the antisymmetric representation and its conjugate, with a tree level superpotential containing at least quartic interactions for these fields. We obtain the effective glueball…

The problem of gauge invariance in an ultraviolet complete quantum field theory (QFT) with nonlocal interactions is investigated. For local fields that couple through a nonlocal interaction, it is demonstrated that the quantum…

We describe a class of unified theories of electromagnetism and gravity. The Lagrangian is of the BF type, with a potential for the B-field, the gauge group is U(2) (complexified). Given a choice of the potential function the theory is a…

We investigate the well-posedness and long-time behavior of a general continuum neural field model with Gaussian noise on possibly unbounded domains. In particular, we give conditions for the existence of invariant probability measures by…

We study the three dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity. Several `natural' definitions of the (third) critical field, $H_{C_3}$, governing the transition from the superconducting state to the normal state, are considered.…

We consider weak solutions of the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with hard potentials ($\gamma \in (0,1]$), under the assumption that mass, energy, and entropy densities are under control. In this regime, with arbitrary initial…

We study power approximation formulas for peak detection using Gaussian random field theory. The approximation, based on the expected number of local maxima above the threshold $u$, $\mathbb{E}[M_u]$, is proved to work well under three…
