Solving quantum field theories at strong coupling remains a challenging task. The main issue is that the usual perturbative series are asymptotic series which can be useful at weak coupling but break down at strong coupling. However, we show that if the limits of integration in the path integral are finite, the perturbative series is an absolutely convergent series which works well at strong...

Recently, various authors have studied the vacua of strongly coupled field theories via the introduction of anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) to supersymmetric (SUSY) gauge theories. SUSY gauge theories are more tractable than their non-SUSY counterparts, and AMSB allows one to retain a level of analytic control over the theory even as SUSY is broken. It is thus an alluring tool...

883. Quark clustering in heavy pentaquarks: insights from QCD sum rules

Hadrons are composite states of quarks and gluons bound by the strong interaction. Conventional hadrons include baryons, composed of three quarks, and mesons, composed of a quark–antiquark pair. Non-conventional hadrons, known as exotics, have more complex quark content. A prominent example is the pentaquark, consisting of four quarks and one antiquark. In recent years, the LHCb experiment has...

889. Higgs Inflation: Particle Factory

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

Cosmic Inflation provides a window into the highest energy scales realized in the history of our universe. Higgs Inflation, wherein the Standard Model Higgs or a variant is identified as the inflaton, provides a minimal framework for incorporating cosmic inflation into the Standard Model. In this talk I will study particle production in Higgs Inflation, and present new idiosyncratic aspects...

997. Generalized uncertainty relations in non-relativistic quantum field theories

Generalized uncertainty relations are the epitome of bridging quantum theory and the general theory of relativity, which, in principle should lead to the elusive consistent theory of quantum gravity. We show that such generalized uncertainty relations also emerge from the functional integral formalism in the context of non-relativistic quantum field theories. Derivation of the Generalized...
