1. 1. Mass-Singularity Structure of QED and Perturbative Quantum Gravity Scatterings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Santiago Londono Castillo; [2020]
   Keywords : perturbative quantum gravity; QED; mass singularities; collinear singularities; soft singularities; singularity cancellation; graviton; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the mass singularities occurring in the cross-section of electron scattering processes are investigated. Two types of scatterings are studied: Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) scatterings, and Perturbative Quantum Gravity (PQG) scatterings. READ MORE

3. 2. Asymptotic Symmetries and Faddeev-Kulish states in QED and Gravity

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

   Author : David Gaharia; [2019]
   Keywords : Faddeev-Kulish; BMS; Bondi-Metzner-Sachs; Asymptotic Symmetries; Asymptotic States; Wilson Lines; Infrared Divergence; Bloch-Nordsieck; Large Gauge Transformations; Fock; QED; Quantum Electrodynamics; Perturbative Quantum Gravity; PQG; U 1 ; Transformations; Mandelstam Quantization;

   Abstract : When calculating scattering amplitudes in gauge and gravitational theories one encounters infrared (IR) divergences associated with massless fields. These are known to be artifacts of constructing a quantum field theory starting with free fields, and the assumption that in the asymptotic limit (i.e. READ MORE

4. 3. The kaon electromagnetic mass difference in AdS/QCD

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Jack Borthwick; [2016]
   Keywords : particle physics; AdS QCD; AdS CFT; kaon; electromagnetic mass difference; quantum field theory; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. READ MORE
