New Nonperturbative Methods in Quantum Field Theory: From Large-N Orbifold Equivalence to Bions and Resurgence

GV Dunne, M Ünsal - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
We present a broad conceptual introduction to some new ideas in nonperturbative quantum
field theory (QFT) that have led to progress toward an understanding of quark confinement in …

Scale-invariant instantons and the complete lifetime of the standard model

A Andreassen, W Frost, MD Schwartz - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
In a classically scale-invariant quantum field theory, tunneling rates are infrared divergent
due to the existence of instantons of any size. While one expects such divergences to be …

Precision decay rate calculations in quantum field theory

A Andreassen, D Farhi, W Frost, MD Schwartz - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Tunneling in quantum field theory is worth understanding properly, not least because it
controls the long-term fate of our Universe. There are, however, a number of features of …

Monte Carlo study of real time dynamics on the lattice

A Alexandru, G Başar, PF Bedaque, S Vartak… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
Monte Carlo studies involving real time dynamics are severely restricted by the sign problem
that emerges from a highly oscillatory phase of the path integral. In this Letter, we present a …
