Static Multikink solutions in deformed models

• Institute of Physics, National Autonomous University of Mexico
• Advised by Prof. Manuel Torres Labansat
• We studied the phenomenology of the formation of static structures with n kinks in models with deformed potentials. In order to study the binding forces between kinks I performed numerical simulations in the programming language Julia, additionally, I found an analytical relation for the energy of the static multikink. There’s an article in preparation reporting our findings and we’re planning to extend our study to higher dimensional topological structures in the future.

One-loop quantum renormalization of kink masses, forces between kinks and virial relations

• Institute of Physics, National Autonomous University of Mexico
• Advised by Dr. Manuel Torres Labansat
• I studied the emergent phenomena in the behavior of the kink configurations arising from the topology of a generalized \(\phi^4\) potential. During this project I used perturbation techniques in order to renormalize the quantum mass correction of a kink configuration. By using asymptotic analysis we proved the existence of static multikink configurations and developed the framework to understand the stability of such fields.

Photon Wave Function

• Institute of Physics, National Autonomous University of Mexico
• Advised by Prof. Manuel Torres Labansat
• I studied the possibility of having a well-defined photon wave function starting from the photon’s dispersion relation and then letting the theory go checking for consistency. The appropriate quantum operators and Lorentz transformations were constructed by using elements of group theory to find the representations acting on the proposed 6-component wave function. After obtaining the lagrangian density the expected symmetries of the theory were examined. I worked under the tutelage of Dr.Manuel Torres Labansat at the Physics Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
