We will investigate the properties of renormalizability of gauge theories by employing the first order formalism. More specifically, we would like to examine the way in which higher derivative gravity can be quantized so that the propagator only involves the physical degrees of freedom. It is known that such models are renormalizable, and that they entail eight degrees of freedom, but the…
We will investigate some applications of the renormalization group equation to the study of the effective potential in gauge theories. The project is based on techniques that were developed together with Prof. McKeon as a result of our previous collaborations. During the planned visit, our main focus will be the Higgs mechanism.

The main objective of this project is to enable the student with the training and basic knowledge on some of the topics of field theory and gravitation that form the conceptual basis of fundamental physics. Following the study of the classical theories invariant under gauge transformations (including gravity), Feynman's path integral approach will be used to obtain the quantum behavior an…
The understanding of the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics, motivated by recent data, is an open and challenging question. The main formalism which is applied to describe it -- quantum field theory at finite temperature -- does not lead to well-defined results for a range of physically relevant parameters. Apart from the very intrincated nature of the theory of elementary particles …
