1. Asymptotic Symmetries and Dressed States in QED and QCD
University essay from Stockholms universitet/FysikumAbstract : 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

2. Generalized Abelian Gauge Theory & Generalized Global Symmetry
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : We study Cheeger-Simons differential characters in order to define higher form U(1) gauge fields and their Wilson lines. We then go on to define generalized global symmetries. This is a topological formulation of symmetries which has interesting consequences when the charged operators extend through space. READ MORE

3. Asymptotic Symmetries and Faddeev-Kulish states in QED and Gravity
University essay from Stockholms universitet/FysikumAbstract : 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
