The Routh of the Attractor Mechanism
We investigate and clarify various aspects of the effective dynamics of Maxwell-Einstein-scalar theories in the background of static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat extremal black…

The Generalized Dirac Oscillator in Doubly Special Relativity: A Complexified Morse Interaction
We study the one-dimensional Generalized Dirac Oscillator (GDO) under Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) kinematics. The GDO extends the Dirac oscillator by replacing the linear non-minimal coupling…

Asymptotic Quantum Gravity as an Infrared Geometric Theory
We formulate the infrared sector of asymptotically flat quantum gravity in terms of asymptotic configurations accessible to external observers. Starting from the Regge-Teitelboim Hamiltonian that…

On the action of non-invertible symmetries on local operators in 3+1d
Most of the known non-invertible symmetries of quantum field theories in three and four spacetime dimensions act invertibly on local operators. An exception is coset symmetries, which can be…

Beyond thresholds: reconstructing UV physics from IR expansions
We show that ultraviolet information can be extracted from low-energy expansion coefficients, assuming analyticity and the absence of massless singularities. By reorganizing the low-energy expansion…

Evolution and scattering of excited topological defects: Interaction between internal modes
This thesis presents an extensive analysis of the behavior of topological solitons when one or more of their internal modes are activated. The first part of this manuscript is devoted to the study of…

Dimensional Reduction is Supersymmetric at Three Loops
We resolve the long-standing claim that regularisation by dimensional reduction (DR) fails to preserve supersymmetry in Super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories at three loops. Earlier results reported a…

Torsion-Induced Modification to Friedmann Equations in AdSL4 Gauged Gravity
We study the solution of the gravitational field equations in AdSL4-gauged gravity, a gauge-theoretic extension of general relativity based on the AdSL4 algebra. In this formulation, the…

Analysis of Quartic Potential Problems Using Fredholm Integral Operators with Airy Functions
Fredholm integral operators that commute with the Hamiltonians of certain quantum mechanical problems with quartic potentials are introduced in closed analytical form. The operators are expressed in…

One-loop aspects of de Sitter axion wormholes
We discuss aspects of the Euclidean path integral around axion-supported de Sitter wormholes, at one-loop order. We numerically compute the phase of the path integral around these solutions, as well…

Naturalness and Fisher Information
Fine-tuning and naturalness, the sensitivity of low-energy observables to small changes in the fundamental parameters of a theory, are cornerstones of physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose a…

Perturbative semiclassical entropy of dynamical black holes
We consider perturbative quantum gravity as a quantum field theory of linearized metric perturbation on an asymptotically flat spacetime with a bifurcate Killing horizon. We include the perturbative…

Line Defects in Liouville Conformal Field Theory: Localized Cosmological Constants and Decohered Hyperbolic Geometries
The study of quantum impurities has long been a central and inspiring theme in quantum many-body physics. Localized impurities are modeled by line defects in quantum field theory. We describe a line…

Singularities in the RG flow
In this work, we show examples when a perturbatively irrelevant operator becomes relevant in the infrared because of the presence of an IR singularity (IR Landau pole). An example of this behavior is…
