The dual of nothing (2002)
Journal Article
Balasubramanian, V., & Ross, S. F. (2002). The dual of nothing. Physical Review D, Particles and fields, 66(8), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.66.086002

We consider “bubbles of nothing” constructed by analytically continuing black hole solutions in anti–de Sitter space. These provide interesting examples of smooth time-dependent backgrounds which can be studied through the AdS/CFT correspondence. Our... Read More about The dual of nothing.

Extending the study of the Higgs sector at the LHC by proton tagging (2004)
Journal Article
Kaidalov, A., Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2004). Extending the study of the Higgs sector at the LHC by proton tagging. The European Physical Journal C, 33(2), 261-271. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s2003-01566-8

We show that forward proton tagging may significantly enlarge the potential of studying the Higgs sector at the LHC. We concentrate on Higgs production via central exclusive diffractive processes (CEDP). Particular attention is paid to regions in the...

Continuum strong-coupling expansion of Yang-Mills theory: quark confinement and infra-red slavery (1994)
Journal Article
Mansfield, P. (1994). Continuum strong-coupling expansion of Yang-Mills theory: quark confinement and infra-red slavery. Nuclear Physics B, 418(1-2), 113-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/0550-3213%2894%2990240-2

We solve Schrödinger's equation for the ground-state of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory as an expansion in inverse powers of the coupling. Expectation values computed with the leading-order approximation are reduced to a calculation in two-dimensi...

Modification of the topological expansion of the O(3) sigma model. (1996)
Journal Article
Costambeys, R., & Mansfield, P. (1996). Modification of the topological expansion of the O(3) sigma model. Nuclear Physics B, 462(1), 141-166. https://doi.org/10.1016/0550-3213%2896%2988698-6

We show that the one-instanton sector moduli-space divergence of the O(3) sigma model leads to an unacceptable dependence of Green functions on the arbitrary way that the field is split into a quantum fluctuation about a classical background. In part... Read More about Modification of the topological expansion of the O(3) sigma model..

Calculating the infrared central charges for perturbed minimal models: improving the RG perturbation (1999)
Journal Article
Kjærgaard, L., & Mansfield, P. (1999). Calculating the infrared central charges for perturbed minimal models: improving the RG perturbation. Physics Letters B, 462(1-2), 103-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0370-2693%2899%2900895-3

We illustrate a method for improving Renormalisation Group improved perturbation theory by calculating the infrared central charge of a perturbed conformal field theory. The additional input is a dispersion relation that exploits analyticity of the e...
