Abstract

Deformations of Quantum Field Theories are an essential tool in our collective attempt to understand the fundamental nature of our universe. They correspond to the so-called interaction terms of a theory, and affect experimentally measurable quantities. In this talk, we will present a new methodology regarding deformations in various dimensions, establishing multiple connections with recent literature findings.
