We discuss the vacuum structure of $\phi^4$-theory in 1+1 dimensions quantised on the light-front $x^+ =0$. To this end, one has to solve a non-linear, operator-valued constraint equation. It expresses that mode of the field operator having…

Certain effective vertices may generate a non-homogeneous, periodic vacuum structure. The excitations above such a vacuum are studied in the framework of the $\phi^4$ and gauge models. The formation of the non-homogeneous vacuum is…

Quantum vacua are characterized by the topological structure of their fermion zero modes. The vacua are distributed into universality classes protected by topology in momentum space. The vacua whose manifold of fermion zero modes has…

Certain higher dimensional operators of the lagrangian may render the vacuum inhomogeneous. A rather rich phase structure of the phi4 scalar model in four dimensions is presented by means of the mean-field approximation. One finds para-…

We study the vacuum structure of three-dimensional $SU(N)$ gauge theory coupled to a Chern-Simons term at level $k$ and to $F$ fundamental Dirac fermions. We use a large $N$ holographic description based on a D3/D7 system in type IIB string…

In this paper, we discuss the vacuum structure of QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermions, inside the Aoki phase. We provide numerical evidence, coming from HMC simulations in $4^4$, $6^4$ and $8^4$ lattices, supporting a vacuum structure…

We discuss the problem of vacuum structure in light-front field theory in the context of (1+1)-dimensional gauge theories. We begin by reviewing the known light-front solution of the Schwinger model, highlighting the issues that are…

We present a systematic study of non-supersymmetric type II toroidal asymmetric orbifolds with vanishing vacuum energy at one-loop in string perturbation theory. These are engineered through the conservation of a supercharge-like operator…

We study scalar field theories on M^{D-1} \otimes S^1, which allow to impose twisted boundary conditions for the S^1 direction, in detail and report several interesting properties overlooked so far. One of characteristic features is the…

We study the Dirac equation of chiral fermions on a regularized version of the two-dimensional T^2/Z_2 orbifold, where the conical singularities are replaced by suitable spherical caps with constant curvature. This study shows how localized…

The structure of loop corrections is examined in a scalar field theory on a three dimensional space whose spatial coordinates are noncommutative and satisfy SU(2) Lie algebra. In particular, the 2- and 4-point functions in $\phi^4$ scalar…

We proposed an `Ichimatsu'-decomposed lattice gauge theory with fermionic symmetries. The vacuum structures of the gauge sector with two coupling constants ($\beta_p,\beta_c$) are investigated for 3-dimensional Z$_2$ and 4-dimensional SU(2)…

We consider $O(N)$-symmetric bosonic $\phi^4$ field theories above four dimensions, and propose a new reformulation in terms of an irreducible tensorial field with a cubic and Yukawa terms. The $\phi^4$ field theory so rewritten exhibits…

We explore various non-supersymmetric type II string vacua constructed based on asymmetric orbifolds of tori with vanishing cosmological constant at the one loop. The string vacua we present are modifications of the models studied in…

We investigate the existence of string vacua with Massive Spectrum Degeneracy Symmetry (MSDS) in Heterotic and Type II orbifold constructions. We present a classification of all possible Z_2^N-orbifolds with MSDS symmetry that can be…

Supersymmetric N=1, D=4 string vacua are known to be finite in perturbation theory. However, the effective low energy D=4, N=1 field theory lagrangian does not yield in general finite theories. In this note we present the first (to our…

In contrast to the complex $\phi^4$ model, vortex-antivortex collisions in the complex $\phi^6$ theory reveal a resonant structure due to the existence of a remarkably stable, long-lived, large amplitude oscillon in the broken vacuum.…

The phase structure of four-fermion theories is thoroughly investigated with varying temperature and chemical potential for arbitrary space-time dimensions $(2 \leq D < 4)$ by using the 1/N expansion method. It is shown that the chiral…

We use various topological operations to systematically study phase transitions between theories with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and time reversal symmetry in two spacetime dimensions. The phases (and accompanying CFTs) we consider come in two types -…

We propose correspondences between 4d quantum field theories with N=2,1,0 (super)conformal invariance and Type IIB string theory on various orbifolds. We argue using the spacetime string theory, and check using the beta functions (exactly…
