Vacuum energy density from the form factor bootstrap by André LeClair

“…In the limit g → 0 $$ \mathfrak{g}\to 0 $$ , ρ vac diverges due to well understood UV divergences in free quantum field theories. If we assume the observed Cosmological Constant originates from the vacuum energy density ρ vac computed as proposed here, then this suggests there must exist a particle which does not obtain its mass from spontaneous symmetry breaking in the electro-weak sector, which we designate as the “zeron”. …”

Topology of 3-dimensional manifolds by Eaman Eftekhary

“…Alternative approaches to the study of 3-manifolds and 4-dimensional cobordisms between them using abelian groups include, in particular, the theories which are formulated as topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). These approaches are also reviewed in the paper. …”

Compactness of quantics tensor train representations of local imaginary-time propagators by Haruto Takahashi, Rihito Sakurai, Hiroshi Shinaoka

“…Space-time dependence of imaginary-time propagators, vital for ab initio and many-body calculations based on quantum field theories, has been revealed to be compressible using Quantum Tensor Trains (QTTs) [Phys. …”
