Abstract The present research proceeding aims at investigating/exploring/sharpening the phenomenological consequences of string theory and holography in particle physics and cosmology. We rely on and elaborate on the recently proposed framework whereby four-dimensional quantum field theories describe all interactions in Nature, and gravity is an emergent and not a fundamental force. New gauge fields, axions, and fermions, which can play the role of right-handed neutrinos, can also emerge in this framework. Preprint: UWThPh 2021-8

In this paper we discuss the boson/vortex duality by mapping the (3[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)D Gross–Pitaevskii theory into an effective string theory in the presence of boundaries. Via the effective string theory, we find the Seiberg–Witten map between the commutative and the noncommutative tachyon field theories, and consequently identify their soliton solutions with D-branes in the effective string theory. We perform various checks of the duality map and the identification of soliton solutions. This new insight between the Gross–Pitaevskii theory and the effective string theory explains the similarity of these two systems at quantitative level.

Although the meaning of twisted symmetry is still not fully understood, the twist approach has its advantages in the construction of field theories on noncommutative spaces. We discuss these advantages on the example of κ-Minkowski space-time. We construct the noncommutative U(1) gauge field theory. Especially the action is written as an integral of a maximal form, thus solving the cyclicity problem of the integral in κ-Minkowski. Using the Seiberg-Witten map to relate noncommutative and commutative degrees of freedom the effective action with the first order corrections in the deformation parameter is obtained.

The great deal in noncommutative (NC) field theories started when it was noted that NC spaces naturally arise in string theory with a constant background magnetic field in the presence of D-branes. In this work we explore how NC geometry can be introduced into a commutative field theory besides the usual introduction of the Moyal product. We propose a nonperturbative systematic new way to introduce NC geometry into commutative systems, based mainly on the symplectic approach. Further, as example, this formalism describes precisely how to obtain a Lagrangian description for the NC version of some systems reproducing well-known theories.

AbstractEditor’s note: One of the most important developments in theoretical particle physics at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the twenty-first century has been the development of effective field theories (EFTs). Pursuing an effective field theory approach is a methodology for constructing theories, where a set of core principles is agreed upon, such as Lorentz symmetry and unitarity, and all possible interactions consistent with them are then compulsory in the theory. The utility of this approach to particle physics (and beyond) is wide ranging and undisputed, as evidenced by the recent formation of the international seminar series All Things EFT (Talks in the series can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_KF6kdJFoDEcLgpcegwCQ (accessed 21 December 2020).) which brings together each week the worldwide community of EFT practitioners. The text below is a lightly edited version of the talk given by Prof. Weinberg on September 30, 2020, which inaugurated the series. The talk reviews some of the early history of EFTs from the perspective of its pioneer and concludes with a discussion of EFT implications for future discovery.

In 2012, Chen Ning Yang received a 90th birthday gift in the form of a black cube inscribed with his 13 most important contributions, which cover four major areas of physics: statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, particle physics and field theory. We briefly describe these 13 contributions and make general comments about Yang's distinctive style as a trailblazing leader in research.

At first sight, low-temperature condensed-matter physics and early Universe cosmology seem worlds apart. Yet, in the last few years a remarkable synergy has developed between the two. It has emerged that, in terms of their mathematical description, there are surprisingly close parallels between them. This interplay has been the subject of a very successful European Science Foundation (ESF) programme entitled COSLAB (‘Cosmology in the Laboratory’) that ran from 2001 to 2006, itself built on an earlier ESF network called TOPDEF (‘Topological Defects: Non-equilibrium Field Theory in Particle Physics, Condensed Matter and Cosmology’). The articles presented in this issue of Philosophical Transactions A are based on talks given at the Royal Society Discussion Meeting ‘Cosmology meets condensed matter’, held on 28 and 29 January 2008. Many of the speakers had participated earlier in the COSLAB programme, but the strength of the field is illustrated by the presence also of quite a few new participants.
