Particle localization in field theory

Advanced Concepts in Particle and Field Theory

Uniting the usually distinct areas of particle physics and quantum field theory, gravity and general relativity, this expansive and comprehensive textbook of fundamental and theoretical physics describes the quest to consolidate the basic building blocks of nature, by journeying through contemporary discoveries in the field, and analyzing elementary particles and their interactions. Designed fo...

Introduction to localization in quantum field theory

This is the introductory chapter to this issue. We review the main idea of the localization technique and its brief history both in geometry and in QFT. We discuss localization in diverse dimensions and give an overview of the major applications of the localization calculations for supersymmetric theories. We explain the focus of the present issue.

Field Theory for Multi - Particle System

The main objectives of this article are 1) to introduces some basic postulates for quantum multi-particle systems, and 2) to develop a universal field theory for interacting multi-particle systems coupling both particle fields and interacting fields. By carefully examining the nature of interactions between multi-particles, we conclude that multi-particle systems must obey both the gauge symmet...

Nonminimal particle-like solutions in cubic scalar field theory

The cubic scalar field theory admits the bell-shaped solitary wave solutions which can be interpreted as massive Bose particles. We rule out the nonminimal p-brane action for such a solution as the point particle with curvature. When quantizing it as the theory with higher derivatives, it is shown that the corresponding quantum equation has SU(2) dynamical symmetry group realizing the exact spi...
