Israel-Stewart like theories (IS) describe relativistic viscous fluids that obey first order partial differential equations in its variables, being appealing theories from a numerical-modeling point of view. Furthermore, the IS theory is one of a few theories that has been proven to be causal and stable after small perturbations around equilibrium, both in the linear regime. After the...

In this talk we will discuss color-kinematics duality for higher-derivative Yang-Mills amplitudes. We will show how such amplitudes can be used to construct quadratic-gravity amplitudes from the double copy method. We will also illustrate the use of the generalized unitarity method for loop amplitudes containing resonances with a brief discussion on two specific one-loop examples.

Quantum Field Theory has proven to be a very powerful tool for describing continuous phase transitions. The spontaneous symmetry breaking paradigm, complemented with the Renormalization Group (RG), allows us to classify phase transitions into ``universality classes"\footnote{J. L. Cardy, {\it Scaling and renormalization in statistical physics}, Cambridge lecture notes in physics (1996).}....

In this contribution, we reassess a supersymmetric model that takes into account the photon-photino sector in presence of a supersymmetric, but Lorentz-symmetry violating (LSV), background. The photon and photino fields appear mixed due to the presence of a constant background Majorana fermion that, as a by-product of supersymmetry, induces the mixing . Two real four-vectors, which represent...

In this work we consider the Einstein-Hilbert action in the first order order formalism coupled to Dirac spinors. From the little group symmetry, we derive the corresponding Bargmann-Wigner current which is conserved but not gauge invariant. Therefore, we construct a gauge invariant version of the Bargmann-Wigner current which is not conserved but potentially observable. Because it is not...

One crucial step to discuss general aspects of the perturbative expansion in quantum field theories is the definition and use of parametric representations of Feynman amplitudes.

We review our recent work on the new procedure to quantize the Yang-Mills theories in the continuum, which points towards the existence of a Yang-Mills ensemble. In the new approach, the idea is to divide the configuration space into sectors labeled by different topological degrees of freedom and fix the gauge separately on each one of them. To implement this mechanism, the gauge fields are...

The presence of a magnetic field in a specific direction compromises the isotropy, so that particles subject to this field are no longer described by plane waves. Therefore, the propagator assumes a non-diagonal form, which does not allow us to write it as a Fourier transform.
