  1. 1. An Introduction to Symmetry Protected Topological Phases

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : David Petrovic; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we aim to display characteristics of symmetry protected topological phases within quantum mechanics (QM). Building on well known aspects of QM, we relate the formalism to basic group representation theory, and review the connection between projective symmetries and protected vacuum degeneracies.

    Author : Angel Victor Labordet Alvarez; [2023]
    Keywords : 9-armchair graphene nanoribbons 9-AGNRs ; polarization Raman Spectroscopy PRS ; temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy; thermal sensitivity; thermal stability; Grüneisen parameter χ ; anharmonicities; vibrational modes G; D; RBLM .; 9-armchair grafen nanoribbons 9-AGNRs ; polarisation Raman spektroskopi PRS ; temperaturberoende Raman spektroskopi; termisk känslighet; termisk stabilitet; Grüneisen parameter χ ; anharmoniciteter; vibrationslägen G; D; RBLM .;

    Abstract : This report employs advanced Raman spectroscopy techniques to investigate the fundamental properties of 9-AGNRs comprehensively. It is divided into two main sections addressing distinct aspects of 9-AGNR behavior. In the first section, Polarization Raman spectroscopy (PRS) probes phonon mode symmetries in 9-AGNRs. READ MORE

  4. 3. Asymptotic Symmetries and Dressed States in QED and QCD

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Saimeng Zhou; [2023]
    Keywords : Dressed states; Large gauge transformation; Faddeev-Kulish formalism; Generalized coherent state operator; Wilson line; Infrared divergence; Asymptotic Hamiltonian; QED; QCD;

    Abstract : Infrared divergences arising in theories with massless gauge bosons have been shown to cancel in scattering amplitudes when using dressed states constructed from the Faddeev- Kulish approach to the asymptotic states. It has been established that these states are closely related to asymptotic symmetries of the theory, that is, non-vanishing gauge trans- formations at the asymptotic boundary. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Impact of Swampland Conjectures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Daniel Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : String theory; Quantum gravity; Swampland program; Effective field theories;

    Abstract : The Swampland program is way of sorting effective field theories based on conjectures of how an effective field theory consistent with quantum gravity should look like. In this thesis we take a closer look at the No Global Symmetries Conjecture, the Weak Gravity Conjecture, the de Sitter Conjecture and the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture. READ MORE

  6. 5. Profinite groups

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten); Lunds universitet/Matematikcentrum

    Author : Juan Moreno Poncela; [2023]
    Keywords : Profinite Groups; Infinite Galois Theory; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis provides a comprehensive study of profinite groups, which are fascinating mathematical objects that have attracted significant interest in modern algebraic research. Profinite groups are infinite generalizations of finite groups and share many similarities with them. READ MORE
