商品描述

This thesis explores a fundamental question in field theory: If we modify a theory by introducing a small parameter, can we recover the original theory by setting that parameter back to zero? While seemingly simple, this question presents a major challenge in gauge theories where mass is added manually. In fact, some have even argued that such theories should be completely discarded as viable descriptions of nature.

Focusing on massive gauge theories, particularly those involving vector fields, this work offers a fresh perspective that diverges from conventional field theory textbooks. Beginning with the basic field theory, it introduces key concepts in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable even for advanced undergraduate students. By integrating ideas from cosmological perturbation theory and massive gravity, the book provides new insights into the behavior of field theories--especially in extreme limits where standard particle physics tools fail.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這篇論文探討了場論中的一個基本問題：如果我們通過引入一個小參數來修改一個理論，是否可以通過將該參數設回零來恢復原始理論？雖然看似簡單，但這個問題在質量手動添加的規範理論中提出了重大挑戰。事實上，有人甚至主張這類理論應該完全被拋棄，因為它們無法作為自然的可行描述。

本書專注於大質量規範理論，特別是涉及向量場的理論，提供了一種與傳統場論教科書不同的新視角。從基本的場論開始，以清晰易懂的方式介紹關鍵概念，使其即使對於高年級本科生也適用。通過整合宇宙學擾動理論和大質量重力的思想，本書為場論的行為提供了新的見解，特別是在標準粒子物理工具失效的極端情況下。

作者簡介

Anamaria Hell is a Project Researcher at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, The University of Tokyo. She earned her Ph.D. with the highest honors (summa cum laude) from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany, under the mentorship of Prof. Viatcheslav Mukhanov. Her doctoral research on the massless limit of massive gauge theories--particularly massive Yang-Mills theory--revealed novel insights into high-energy behavior and its connections to massive gravity. This work earned her the prestigious ASC PhD Prize in 2022.

Dr. Hell's research interests also extend to modified gravity theories and cosmological models. She has delivered numerous invited seminars and conference talks worldwide and was awarded the Julian S. Schwinger Diploma at the International School of Subnuclear Physics (58th Course: Gravity and Matter in the Subnuclear World, Erice, Sicily) for Best New Talent. Most recently, she was a plenary speaker at COSMO'24, the leading cosmology conference. Dr. Hell's contributions highlight her expertise and innovative thinking in field theory and cosmology.
