Education

2014 PhD Physics

• Thesis: ‘Application of Worldline Formalism to Bound States’. (Instituto de Fisica Y Matematicas, Universidad Michoacana de San Nicholas de Hidalgo). Advisor: Prof. Axel Weber; Co-Advisor: Prof. Christian Schubert (Proposal successfully defended, July. 11, 2014- before a committee comprising of Prof. Axel Weber, Prof. Christain Schubert, Prof. Alfredo Raya, Prof. Adnan Bashir and Prof. Adolfo Huet). Abstract:

In my dissertation I have used the worldline formalism to sum up all ladders and cross- ladders to obtain an analytical expression for the lowest bound state mass in the φ3 theory with zero mass of the χ particle. In this study I have an analytical representation for the ladder plus crossed ladder diagrams. By saddle point approximation and matching non relativistic limit I obtained a conjecture for the relativistic corrections to the lowest bound state mass. Finally, I made an analytical approximation of the path integral.
