We test exact marginality of the deformation describing the resolution of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold by analyzing the closed superstring equations of motion to third order in the size, including $\alpha'$ corrections. We find that the third…
We rederive and discuss the result of the previous paper that in the standard model $\theta$-term related to $W$-boson field can not be induced by weak instantons. This follows from the existence of the fermion zero mode in the instanton…
The off-shell dynamics of the O(3) nonlinear sigma-model is probed in terms of spectral densities and two-point functions by means of the form factor approach. The exact form factors of the Spin field, Noether-current, EM-tensor and the…
A family of deformed models of the sine-Gordon-type can be generated by twisting the sine-Gordon model. As a particular case, the 3-sine-Gordon model is here addressed, whose differential configurational entropy and the differential…
We establish a general relation between the statistics of the local Green's function for systems with chaotic wave scattering and a uniform energy loss (absorption) and its two-point correlation function for the same system without…
Self-consistent Ansaetze are presented for the left- and right-handed isodoublet fermion zero-modes of the constrained instanton Istar in the vacuum sector of euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. These left- and right-handed fermion…
Motivated by an analogy with the conformal factor problem in gravitational theories of the $R+R^2$-type we investigate a $d$-dimensional Euclidean field theory containing a complex scalar field with a quartic self interaction and with a…
We investigate the differential geometry of the moduli space of instantons on S^3 x S^1. Extending previous results, we show that a sigma-model with this target space can be expected to possess a large N=4 superconformal symmetry,…
We elaborate that general intersecting brane models on orbifolds are obtained from type I string compactifications and their T-duals. Symmetry breaking and restoration occur via recombination and parallel separation of branes, preserving…
The on-shell regularization of the one-loop divergences of supergravity theories is generalized to include a dilaton of the type occurring in effective field theories derived from superstring theory, and the superfield structure of the…
The $U_L(3)\times U_R(3)$ Linear Sigma Model (LSM) with quark degrees of freedom is used to show that radiative corrections generate undetermined finite contributions. Their origin is related to surface terms which are differences between…
We analyze the perturbative stability of non-supersymmetric intersecting brane world models on tori. Besides the dilaton tadpole, a dynamical instability in the complex structure moduli space occurs at string disc level, which drives the…
The valley method for computing the total high-energy anomalous cross section $S_{anom}$ is the extension of the optical theorem to the case of instanton-antiinstanton backgrounds. As a toy model for baryon number violation in Electroweak…
We report on a spontaneous breakdown of parity in the ground state of a spin Hamiltonian involving nearest-neighbor interactions. This occurs for a one-dimensional model where spins transform under the gauge field representation of QCD, the…
We study the role played by topological textures and antitextures during the phase ordering of a two-dimensional system described by the discretised nonlinear O(3) sigma model with purely dissipative dynamics. We identify and characterise…
In this thesis the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) formalism is investigated with several applications, particular emphasis on renormalizability. In the O(N) symmetric scalar quantum field theory formulated with auxiliary fields it is…
We investigate the interplay between (-1)-form symmetries and their quantum-dual (d-1)-form counterparts within the framework of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs). In this framework the phenomenon of decomposition -- a…
We derive the decay rate of an unstable phase of a quantum field theory in the presence of an impurity in the thin-wall approximation. This derivation is based on the how the impurity changes the (flat spacetime) geometry relative to case…
Retrieval of classical behaviour in quantum cosmology is usually discussed in the framework of {\em midi}superspace models in the presence of scalar fields and the inhomogeneous modes corresponding either to gravitational or scalar fields.…
We present a 3+1 formulation of the effective field theory framework called the Standard-Model Extension in the gravitational sector. The explicit local Lorentz and diffeomorphism symmetry breaking assumption is adopted and we perform a…
