parallel talk Theoretical Developments

Speaker

Desmond Villalba (University of Alabama)

Description

A Non-Local quantum field theory extension of QED is considered. Gauge invariance is checked to 1-loop order and the gauge coupling running is shown to be UV-Insensitive. In the future, extending this model to incorporate other fields could provide an avenue for remedying the Higgs vacuum instability problem.
