| CT11 EXPERIMENT, RESPONSIBLE: Maurizio Consoli |
Over the years, by using non-perturbative methods (variational, lattice, renormalization group...), we have explored several aspects of the vacuum structure in quantum field theory (QFT). These include studies of the Higgs condensate, QCD at finite density, general applications of the Wilsonian renormalization group, possible connections between the vacuum condensation phenomenon and the “emergent-gravity” approach, cosmological applications of field theory. We have also tried to single out those phenomenological consequences that can be directly compared with experiments.
In the last two years, the activity has been focused on the following aspects:
A) Non-perturbative study of the QFT vacuum through analytical methods.
B) Emergent gravity and ether-drift experiments
C) Field theory applications in cosmology.
D) Renormalization group : theory, applications to physical processes and to quantum gravity
