Mingling of the infrared and ultraviolet and the “cosmological constant” for interacting QFT in 2d by André LeClair

“…Abstract We propose a proper definition of the vacuum expectation value of the stress energy tensor 〈0| T μν | 0〉 for integrable quantum field theories in two spacetime dimensions, which is the analog of the cosmological constant in 4d. …”

Which Quantum Theory Must be Reconciled with Gravity? (And What Does it Mean for Black Holes?) by Matthew J. Lake

“…We consider the nature of quantum properties in non-relativistic quantum mechanics (QM) and relativistic quantum field theories, and examine the connection between formal quantization schemes and intuitive notions of wave-particle duality. …”

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis anomalies and web of dualities induced by gauging in quantum spin chains by Ömer Mert Aksoy, Christopher Mudry, Akira Furusaki, Apoorv Tiwari

“…LSM theorems have recently been interpreted as the lattice counterparts to mixed 't Hooft anomalies in quantum field theories that arise from a combination of crystalline and global internal symmetry groups. …”

Matter in transition by Anderson, Lara B., Gray, James, Raghuram, Nikhil, Taylor, Washington

“…We explore a novel type of transition in certain 6D and 4D quantum field theories, in which the matter content of the theory changes while the gauge group and other parts of the spectrum remain invariant. …”

The connection between nonzero density and spontaneous symmetry breaking for interacting scalars by Alberto Nicolis, Alessandro Podo, Luca Santoni

“…Abstract We consider U(1)-symmetric scalar quantum field theories at zero temperature. At nonzero charge densities, the ground state of these systems is usually assumed to be a superfluid phase, in which the global symmetry is spontaneously broken along with Lorentz boosts and time translations. …”

Supersymmetric geometries in string theory by Cizel, S

“…The objective of this thesis is to study two classes of supersymmetric geometries and their associated quantum field theories arising from string compactifications.…”
