Renormalization group methods and the epistemology of effective field theories
The development of renormalization group methods for particle physics: Formal analogies between classical statistical mechanics and quantum field theory
Formal and physical equivalence in two cases in contemporary quantum physics
The Higgs mechanism and superconductivity: A case study of formal analogies
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking: Quantum Statistical Mechanics versus Quantum Field Theory
Philosophical analysis of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in particle physics has been hindered by the unavailability of rigorous formulations of models in quantum field theory (QFT). A strategy for addressing this problem is to use the rigorous models that have been constructed for SSB in quantum statistical mechanics (QSM) systems as a basis for drawing analogous conclusions about SSB in QFT. On the basis of an analysis of this strategy as …
How to take particle physics seriously: A further defence of axiomatic quantum field theory
Quantum Field Theory: Underdetermination, Inconsistency, and Idealization
Quantum field theory (QFT) presents a genuine example of the underdetermination of theory by empirical evidence. There are variants of QFT—for example, the standard textbook formulation and the rigorous axiomatic formulation—that are empirically indistinguishable yet support different interpretations. This case is of particular interest to philosophers of physics because, before the philosophical work of interpreting QFT can proceed, the question…
