Pseudoscalar Field as a Possible Candidate for Phantom Field
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.We demonstrate the existence of a single pseudoscalar (PS) field in the mathematically backed and parity‐preserving modifications of the standard Stückelberg formalism (SSF) in the context of the Lagrangian formulation of the (i) two (1 + 1)‐dimensional (2D) massive Abelian 1‐form gauge theory, (ii) three (2 + 1)‐dimensional (3D) massive Abelian 2‐form

On Calabi‐Yau Manifolds at Strong Topological String Coupling
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract It was recently shown that integrating out M2 states on Calabi‐Yau manifolds captures non‐perturbative topological string physics in the free energy. In this note, It has been shown that the resulting expression manifests a certain duality symmetry: the free energy at strong string coupling is equal to the Calabi‐Yau period at weak string ...

Identity, Superselection Theory and the Statistical Properties of Quantum Fields [PDF]
, 2012 The permutation symmetry of quantum mechanics is widely thought to imply a sort of metaphysical underdetermination about the identity of particles. Despite claims to the contrary, this implication does not hold in the more fundamental quantum field ...

de Sitter State in Heterotic String Theory
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract Recent no‐go theorems have ruled out four‐dimensional classical de Sitter vacua in heterotic string theory. On the other hand, the absence of a well‐defined Wilsonian effective action and other related phenomena also appear to rule out such time‐dependent vacua with de Sitter isometries, even in the presence of quantum corrections.

Strings, branes, and gravity duals of gauge theories [PDF]
, 2002 We study the correspondence between certain supersymmetric gauge theories and their dual supergravity descriptions. Using low-energy brane probes of the super-gravity geometries we find moduli spaces of vacua, as expected from considering the dual gauge ...

Measurement and Classical Regime in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2011 This article (for the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Physics) focuses on two of the main problems raising interpretational issues in quantum mechanics, namely the notorious measurement problem and the equally important but not quite as widely discussed

Holism, Physical Theories and Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 Motivated by the question what it is that makes quantum mechanics a holistic theory (if so), I try to define for general physical theories what we mean by `holism'.

Against Field Interpretations of Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
, 2008 I examine some problems standing in the way of a successful ``field interpretation'' of quantum field theory. The most popular extant proposal depends on the Hilbert space of ``wavefunctionals.'' But since wavefunctional space is unitarily equivalent to ...

Quantum information theory and the foundations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis is a contribution to the debate on the implications of quantum information theory for the foundational problems of quantum mechanics. In Part I an attempt is made to shed some light on the nature of information and quantum information theory.
