The school aims at equipping PhD students in the field of astrophysical tests of fundamental physics with theoretical, phenomenological and numerical tools at the forefront of their field of research.

We study N=∞ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature by Monte Carlo methods using an asymmetric coupling version of the twisted Equchi-Kawai model. The data favor a first-order deconfining ...

A theory of the Fermi liquid is constructed, based on the representation of the perturbation theory as a functional of the distribution function. The effective mass of the excitation is found, along ...

The 3π spectrum in τ decay is studied by considering the contribution from the radially excited state (a1’) of the a1 meson. It is shown that the spectrum is reasonably reproduced by the following ...

We consider the three-dimensional Dirac equation in spherical coordinates with coupling to static electromagnetic potential. The space components of the potential have angular (non-central) dependence ...

Four-point correlation functions are calculated for the basic operators in 2D conformal invariant theories with the central charge of the corresponding Virasoro algebra C ≤1. Based on these results, ...

We compute the electromagnetic fields generated in heavy-ion collisions by using the HIJING model. Although after averaging over many events only the magnetic field perpendicular to the reaction plane ...

In statistical physics, useful notions of entropy are defined with respect to some coarse graining procedure over a microscopic model. Here we consider some special problems that arise when the ...
