Heavy Hadron Spectroscopy from Lattice QCD
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2024)In this thesis, heavy hadron spectroscopy was studied through the formalism of lattice quantum chromodynamics. A summary of relevant theory is provided, followed by an overview of the current state-of-the-art spectroscopy ... -
Yang-Baxter integrable open quantum systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2023)The main result of this thesis is the use of the boost operator to develop a systematic method to construct new integrable spin chains with nearest-neighbour interaction and characterized by an R-matrix of non-difference ... -
Exploring efficient methods for precision QCD calculations on the lattice
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2023)We study a new technique for stochastic noise reduction in the calculation of propagators by implementing it in OpenQ*D for two ensembles with O(a) improved Wilson fermion ac- tion, with periodic boundary conditions and ... -
Hadron Scattering Amplitudes from Lattice QCD
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2023)In this thesis we compute hadron scattering amplitudes within the framework of lattice quantum chromodynamics. Finite-volume spectra are computed using distillation and the variational method. These spectra constrain ... -
Duality and domains in supersymmetric gauge theories
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)This thesis investigates duality properties of four-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. By restricting the domain of the effective coupling to an appropriate fundamental domain the order parameter on the ... -
Modularity in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)In this thesis, we study the modularity and duality of Coulomb branches for a class of four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. For pure N=2 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2), the Coulomb branch can ... -
Conformal Bootstrap and Black Holes in AdS/CFT
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)In this thesis, we explore applications of the conformal bootstrap to holographic CFTs that are dual to theories of gravity in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes. In particular, we consider correlation functions with ... -
Automorphic Symmetries, String integrable structures and Deformations
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)We address the novel structures arising in quantum and string integrable theories, as well as construct methods to obtain them and provide further analysis. Specifically, we implement the automorphic symmetries on ... -
Coherent states and classical radiative observables in the S-matrix formalism
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)In this thesis, we study classical radiative observables perturbatively in terms of on-shell scattering amplitudes. In particular, we focus primarily on the two-body problem in gauge and gravitational theories by using an ... -
Non-planar anomalous dimensions in super Yang-Mills theories
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)Conformal supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories play an important role in the gauge-gravity correspondence and, despite being highly non-physical, have been a driving force for many new approaches in more realistic theories ... -
Conformal bootstrap and thermalization in holographic CFTs
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2021)This thesis covers a number of topics in conformal field theories that are supposed to have gravity duals according to the AdS/CFT correspondence. We use the conformal bootstrap in the Regge and lightcone limits as the ... -
Integrable systems, separation of variables and the Yang-Baxter equation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2021)This thesis is based on the author’s publications during the course of his PhD studies and focuses on various aspects of the field of quantum integrable systems. The aim of this thesis is to develop the so-called separation ... -
Homotopical and effective methods for associative algebras
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2021)This thesis contains four main chapters based on four different papers. In the third chapter, we solve the problem of computing the minimal model of an arbitrary associative monomial algebra. Our methods are combinatorial ... -

Computational and mathematical aspects of Feynman integrals
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2021)This thesis covers a number of different research projects which are all connected to the central topic of computing Feynman integrals efficiently through analytic methods. Improvements in our ability to evaluate Feynman ... -
Yang-Mills instantons on the taub-NUT space and supersymmetric N=2 gauge theories with impurities
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2010)We write a formula for arbitrary charge calorons, instantons on R3 x S1, in terms of the Green's function of the Laplacian defined for the Nahm Transform, thus generalising the formula for the charge one caloron derived ... -
Modern aspects of topological gauge theories - Polynomial invariants and mock modular forms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2019)In this dissertation we present new results in the field of topologically twisted gauge theories evaluated on compact four-manifolds without boundary. We focus on the Donaldson-Witten theory, that is the N = 2 topologically ... -
Ranges of bimodule projections and conditional expectations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2011)The algebraic theory of comer subrings introduced by Lam (as an abstraction of the properties of Peirce corners eRe of a ring R associated with an idempotent e E R) are investigated here in the context of Banach and ... -
Decay widths from Euclidean quantum field theory a scalar model and applications to QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2009)Lüscher provided a method by which the Euclidean correlation function, used in lattice field theories, can be used to evaluate the scattering phase shift, side-stepping the Maiani-Testa Theorem. This result is explored in ... -
A non-perturbative study of the renormalisation of action parameters in anisotropic lattice QCD with applications to finite temperature QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2009)The advantages of using anisotropic lattices, instead of the more usual isotropic lattices, in QCD simulations are well estabhshed. Anisotropic lattices can be used to increase signal resolution and allow computational ...
