No-signaling-in-time condition for three-flavor neutrino oscillations
Massimo Blasone, Fabrizio Illuminati, Luciano Petruzziello +2
Macrorealism is a fundamental concept in quantum foundations, capturing basic features of our everyday experience. Among the main tools introduced to test violations of macrorealis…
Time-energy uncertainty relation for neutrino oscillations: historical development, applications and future prospects
Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano, Luca Smaldone
Time-energy uncertainty relation (TEUR) plays a fundamental role in quantum mechanics, as it allows to grasp peculiar aspects of a variety of phenomena based on very general princi…
Effective action approach to the dynamical map
Marek Lewicki, Luca Smaldone
The dynamical map represents a fundamental concept in quantum field theory, providing a solution of the field equations in the Fock space of asymptotic fields. In this paper, we sh…
Classical space from quantum condensates
Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
We review the boson transformation method to deal with spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum field theory, focussing on how it describes the emergence of extended and classical…
No-signaling-in-time as a condition for macrorealism: the case of neutrino oscillations
Massimo Blasone, Fabrizio Illuminati, Luciano Petruzziello +2
We consider two necessary and sufficient conditions for macrorealism recently appeared in the literature, known as no-signaling-in-time and arrow-of-time conditions, respectively,…
Hunting Quantum Gravity with Analogs: the case of graphene
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Pablo Pais +1
Analogs of fundamental physical phenomena can be used in two ways. One way consists in reproducing specific aspects of classical or quantum gravity, of quantum fields in curved spa…
Neutrino mixing and oscillations in quantum field theory: a comprehensive introduction
Luca Smaldone, Giuseppe Vitiello
We review some of the main results of the quantum field theoretical approach to neutrino mixing and oscillations. We show that the quantum field theoretical framework, where flavor…
Quantum Groups and Polymer Quantum Mechanics
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
In Polymer Quantum Mechanics, a quantization scheme that naturally emerges from Loop Quantum Gravity, position and momentum operators cannot be both well-defined on the Hilbert spa…
Topologically inequivalent quantizations
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
We discuss the representations of the algebra of quantization, the canonical commutation relations, in a scalar quantum field theory with spontaneously broken U(1) internal symmetr…
Bekenstein bound from the Pauli principle: a brief introduction
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
Here we briefly resume the idea, originally introduced in Phys. Rev. D 102, 106002 (2020), that the Bekenstein bound on entropy is a consequence of the fermionic nature of fundamen…
Bekenstein bound from the Pauli principle
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
Assuming that the degrees of freedom of a black hole are finite in number and of fermionic nature, we naturally obtain, within a second-quantized toy model of the evaporation, that…
Some non-trivial aspects of Poincaré and CPT invariance of flavor vacuum
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Nikolaos E. Mavromatos +1
We study the explicit form of Poincaré and discrete transformations of flavor states in a two-flavor scalar model, which represents the simplest example of the field mixing. Becaus…
Time-energy uncertainty relation for neutrino oscillations in curved spacetime
Massimo Blasone, Gaetano Lambiase, Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano +2
We derive the Mandelstam-Tamm time-energy uncertainty relation for neutrino oscillations in a generic stationary curved spacetime. In particular, by resorting to Stodolsky covarian…
Casimir effect for mixed fields
Massimo Blasone, Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano, Luciano Petruzziello +1
We analyze the Casimir effect for a flavor doublet of mixed scalar fields con- fined inside a one-dimensional finite region. In the framework of the unitary inequivalence between m…
Dynamical generation of field mixing via flavor vacuum condensate
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Nikolaos E. Mavromatos +1
In this paper we study dynamical chiral symmetry breaking of a generic quantum field theoretical model with global chiral flavor symmetry. By purely algebraic means we analyze the…
Generalized generating functional for mixed-representation Green's functions: A quantum mechanical approach
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Luca Smaldone
When one tries to take into account the non-trivial vacuum structure of Quantum Field Theory, the standard functional-integral tools such as generating functionals or transitional…
Functional integrals and inequivalent representations in Quantum Field Theory
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Luca Smaldone
We discuss canonical transformations in Quantum Field Theory in the framework of the functional-integral approach. In contrast with ordinary Quantum Mechanics, canonical transforma…
Effective action approach to dynamical generation of fermion mixing
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Luca Smaldone
In this paper we discuss a mechanism for the dynamical generation of flavor mixing, in the framework of the Nambu--Jona Lasinio model. Our approach is illustrated both with the con…
