DOI: 10.1007/jhep02(2022)209
Abstract: Using the worldline quantum field theory (WQFT) formalism for classical scattering, we study the deflection of light by a heavy massive spinless/spinning object. WQFT requires the use of the worldline dressed propagator of a photon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/jhep03(2019)161
Abstract: A bstractRecently it has been shown that the complexity of SU(n) operator is determined by the geodesic length in a bi-invariant Finsler geometry, which is constrained by some symmetries of quantum field theory. It is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/jhep04(2021)136
Abstract: Abstract The holomorphic Coulomb gas formalism, as developed by Feigin-Fuchs, Dotsenko-Fateev and Felder, is a set of rules for computing minimal model observables using free field techniques. We attempt to derive and clarify these rules… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/jhep07(2017)120
Abstract: A bstractWe study different aspects of quantum entanglement and its measures, including entanglement entropy in the vacuum state of a certain Lifshitz free scalar theory. We present simple intuitive arguments based on “non-local” effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/jhep08(2019)047
Abstract: Abstract In analytic descriptions of quantum quenches, the overlaps between the initial pre-quench state and the eigenstates of the time evolving Hamiltonian are crucial ingredients. We construct perturbative expansions of these overlaps in quantum field… read more here.

Abstract: A bstractWe revisit the results of Zamolodchikov and others on the deformation of two-dimensional quantum field theory by the determinant det T of the stress tensor, commonly referred to as TT¯$$ T\overline{T} $$. Infinitesimally this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00006-018-0904-5
Abstract: Localized states in relativistic quantum field theories are usually considered as problematic, because of their seemingly strange (noncovariant) behavior under Lorentz transformations, and because they can spread faster than light. We point out that a… read more here.

Abstract: Under the normal assumptions of quantum field theory, Haag’s theorem states that any field unitarily equivalent to a free field must itself be a free field. Unfortunately, the derivation of the Dyson series perturbation expansion… read more here.
