### QED as a many-body theory of worldlines: General formalism and infrared structure

• Physics
Physical Review D
• 2022
We discuss a reformulation of QED in which matter and gauge fields are integrated out explicitly, resulting in a many-body Lorentz covariant theory of 0+1 dimensional worldlines describing

### Cylinder quantum field theories at small coupling

• Physics
• 2022
: We show that any 2D scalar ﬁeld theory compactiﬁed on a cylinder and with a Fourier expandable potential V is equivalent, in the small coupling limit, to a 1D theory involving a massless particle

### Generalized LKF Transformations for $$\boldsymbol{N}$$ -Point Fermion Correlators in QED

• Physics
Moscow University Physics Bulletin
• 2022
Abstract Within the worldline approach to quantum electrodynamics (QED), a change of the photon’s covariant gauge parameter $$\xi$$ is investigated to analyse the non-perturbative gauge dependence of

### SUSY in the sky with gravitons

• Physics
Journal of High Energy Physics
• 2022
Picture yourself in the wave zone of a gravitational scattering event of two massive, spinning compact bodies (black holes, neutron stars or stars). We show that this system of genuine astrophysical

### Baby universes and worldline field theories

• Physics
Classical and Quantum Gravity
• 2021
The quantum gravity path integral involves a sum over topologies that invites comparisons to worldsheet string theory and to Feynman diagrams of quantum field theory. However, the latter are

### Classical black hole scattering from a worldline quantum field theory

• Physics
• 2020
A precise link is derived between scalar-graviton S-matrix elements and expectation values of operators in a worldline quantum field theory (WQFT), both used to describe classical scattering of a

### Dynamically assisted Schwinger effect at strong coupling with its holographic extension

• Physics
The European Physical Journal C
• 2019
At strong-coupling and weak-field limit, the scalar Schwinger effect is studied by the field-theoretical method of worldline instantons for dynamic fields of single-pulse and sinusoidal types. By
