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...

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

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

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...

889. Higgs Inflation: Particle Factory

Evan McDonough (University of Winnipeg)

Theoretical Physics / Physique théorique (DTP-DPT)

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...

1077. Radiative effects on scalar light dark matter

Oral not-in-competition (Graduate Student) / Orale non-compétitive (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

In the continued search for dark matter (DM), community interest has extended beyond the standard weakly-interacting-massive-particle paradigm to a richer set of scenarios and detection opportunities. A major focus of upcoming DM searches involves light dark matter (LDM): a class of candidates with masses on the electron to proton scale, characterized by a massive dark photon which mixes...
