Exotic phases of matter in low dimensional lattices: from quantum liquids to kinetic magnetism 

Morera Navarro, Ivan (Date of defense: 2023-07-10)

[eng] In this Thesis we explore exotic phases of matter which arise when different mechanisms compete and favor different ground state configurations. We focus on two classes of low dimensional lattice systems. The first ...

Dark energy in quantum field theory: Implications on modern cosmology 

Moreno Pulido, Cristian (Date of defense: 2023-07-06)

[eng] The Cosmological Constant, Λ, has been a controversial element in theoretical physics and cosmology since its introduction by Einstein in his field equations in 1917. Despite maintaining an irregular reputation over ...

Nonlocal Lagrangian Formalism 

Heredia Pimienta, Carlos (Date of defense: 2023-03-31)

[eng] This thesis aims to study nonlocal Lagrangians with a finite and an infinite number of degrees of freedom. We obtain an extension of Noether's theorem and Noether's identities for such Lagrangians. We then set up a ...

From the Precision Era towards the Accuracy Era of Cosmology with DESI 

Brieden, Samuel (Date of defense: 2022-09-14)

[eng] Despite the successes of the cosmological ΛCDM model and having entered the "Precision Era of Cosmology" there are still open questions. The principal model ingredients, ΛCDM, contribute to ~95% of the total energy ...

Effective-theory description of heavy-flavored hadrons and their properties in a hot medium 

Montaña Faiget, Glòria (Date of defense: 2022-07-08)

For many decades after the conception of the quark model in 1964, and the development of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) a few years later as the theory governing the strong interaction between quarks and gluons, there was ...

Observational consequences of Black Holes in the Universe: From dark matter candidates to quasars 

Oncins Fernández, Marc (Date of defense: 2022-06-03)

The existence of black holes that go beyond the mass given by their stellar origin has been known for some time. On the lower end, a subset of primordial black holes (PBHs) could form all of the dark matter with individually ...

Variational quantum architectures. Applications for noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers 

Bravo Prieto, Carlos (Date of defense: 2022-06-20)

Quantum algorithms showing promising speedups with respect to their classical counterparts already exist. However, noise limits the quantum circuit depth, making the practical implementation of many such quantum algorithms ...

The Dynamical State of Star-forming Regions, from Molecular Clouds to Massive Clumps 

Lu, Zujia (Date of defense: 2022-04-26)

Star formation is a fundamental and still largely unsolved problem of astrophysics and cosmology. Its complexity stems from the complex interaction of turbulence, magnetic fields and gravity, and from the onset of different ...

Primordial black holes and their implications for Inflation 

Triantafyllou, Nikolaos (Date of defense: 2021-11-12)

The standard cosmological model, ΛCDM, with the addition of an early inflationary phase, provides an accurate description of a nearly flat and homogeneous Universe, at large scales, which expands at an accelerated ...

Modeling and observations of relativistic outflows in high-energy binary systems 

Molina Lumbreras, Edgar (Date of defense: 2021-09-29)

Some binary systems consisting of a compact object, which can be either a neutron star or a black hole, and typically a non-degenerate companion star, have been shown to emit broadband radiation from radio up to gamma-ray ...

Approaching nuclear interactions with lattice QCD 

Illa Subiña, Marc (Date of defense: 2021-09-09)

Nuclei make up the majority of the visible matter in the Universe; obtaining a first principles description of the nuclear properties and interactions between nuclei directly from the underlying theory of the strong ...

Numerical simulations of primordial black holes­­­­­­­­­­ 

Escrivá Mañas, Alberto (Date of defense: 2021-06-21)

This thesis has been devoted to the study of the gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric perturbations on a Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe filled by a perfect fluid. Large cosmological perturbations ...

Holography applications in the strongly coupled sector: from QCD to the new physics 

Katanaeva, Alisa (Date of defense: 2021-02-10)

AdS/CFT correspondence combines ideas of holography and duality in a way that allows one to make calculations in the otherwise hardly accessible (strongly coupled) regime of the target theory. In this thesis we are interested ...

Implications of Dynamical Dark Energy in the expansion of the Universe and the Structure Formation 

de Cruz Pérez, Javier (Date of defense: 2021-04-16)

En aquesta tesi s’estudien diferents models cosmològics, tots ells caracteritzats per considerar, de manera efectiva, una lleu evolució temporal de l’Energia Fosca, en contrast amb l’actual model estàndard de la cosmologia. ...

Detection, characterisation and use of open clusters in a Galactic context in a Big Data environment 

Castro Ginard, Alfred (Date of defense: 2021-04-30)

Open clusters are groups of stars, gravitationally bound together, that were born from the same molecular cloud and, thus, share similar positions, kinematics, ages and metallicities. Traditional methods to detect open ...

Observational and theoretical perspective of massive star formation 

Añez López, José Ignacio (Date of defense: 2021-05-05)

In this thesis, we are aimed to better understand the massive star formation process paying special attention to the role of the magnetic field. To do this, we will carry out a multi-scale analysis with a double approach, ...

Leptonic CP Violation and its Origin 

Esteban Muñoz, Iván (Date of defense: 2020-09-10)

At the end of the 20th century, experiments studying neutrinos coming from the Sun and cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere revealed that these particles can change their flavour, behaving in a way that the Standard Model ...

Neutron-rich matter in atomic nuclei and neutron stars 

González Boquera, Claudia (Date of defense: 2020-01-13)

The proper understanding of the equation of state (EoS) of highly asymmetric nuclear matter is essential when studying systems such as neutron stars (NSs). Using zero-range Skyrme interactions and finite-range interactions ...

Exploring Signatures of New Physics in Cosmology 

Bellomo, Nicola (Date of defense: 2020-01-24)

Cosmology is the study of the origin and evolution of our Universe as a whole. Even if the theoretical framework of Cosmology was developed a century ago, with the formulation of General Relativity by Albert Einstein, it ...

Decay of Doubly Strange Hypernuclei 

Maneu Victoria, Jordi (Date of defense: 2019-12-20)

Double § hypernuclei are bound systems of several nucleons and two § hyperons. These systems are unstable with respect to the weak interaction and chiefly decay through two-body processes that conserve neither parity, ...
