Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, and S the ideal boundary of the corresponding symmetric space of noncompact type (H^n_R, H^n_C, H^n_H or H^2_O). We show the finiteness of the possible values of the secondary characteristic…
We study first-order concatenation theory with bounded quantifiers. We give axiomatizations with interesting properties, and we prove some normal-form results. Finally, we prove a number of decidability and undecidability results.
We study Hamiltonians with point interactions in spaces of vector-valued functions. Using some information from the theory of quantum graphs we describe a class of the operators which can be reduced to the direct sum of several…
We provide and discuss complex analytic methods for overcoming the formal character of formal deformation quantization. This is a necessity for returning to physically meaningful statements, and accounts for the fact that the formal…
We show that the Hochschild cohomology of the algebra obtained by formal deformation quantization on a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the formal series with coefficients in the de Rham cohomology of the manifold. The cohomology class…
We propose a new BRST-like quantization procedure which is applicable to dynamical systems containing both first and second class constraints. It requires no explicit separation into first and second class constraints and therefore no…
We develop and apply the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formalism for quantizing off-diagonal solutions of the Einstein equations in general relativity. In the quasi-classical limit of quantum gravity, such solutions possess specific…
We propose to extend ``invertibility'' to ``regularity'' for categories in general abstract algebraic manner. Higher regularity conditions and ``semicommutative'' diagrams are introduced. Distinction between commutative and…
A simple pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for the linear inhomogeneous systems of ODEs. In contrast to the usual Hamiltonian mechanics, our approach is based on the use of non-stationary Poisson brackets, i.e. corresponding…
The unfree gauge symmetry implies that gauge variation of the action functional vanishes provided for the gauge parameters are restricted by the differential equations. The unfree gauge symmetry is shown to lead to the global conserved…
The first class constraints in N = 1 supergravity in 2 + 1 dimensions are used to construct a generator of three gauge symmetries (including a local supersymmetry) that leave the action invariant. The algebra of these symmetries closes.…
Fermions are coupled to the Einstein-Cartan system in the canonical formulation, including the cosmological, the Barbero-Immirzi, and the non-minimal coupling constants. The resulting ten first-class constraints generate gauge…
The not-quite-Hamiltonian theory of singular reduction and reconstruction is described. This includes the notions of both regular and collective Hamiltonian reduction and reconstruction.
The causal structure of Einstein's evolution equations is considered. We show that in general they can be written as a first order system of balance laws for any choice of slicing or shift. We also show how certain terms in the evolution…
We show that infinitesimal automorphisms and infinitesimal deformations of parabolic geometries can be nicely described in terms of the twisted de-Rham sequence associated to a certain linear connection on the adjoint tractor bundle. For…
In this short note we perform the Hamiltonian analysis of bimetric gravity with one particular form of potential between two metrics. We find that this theory have eight secondary constraints. We identify four constraints that are the first…
Optimization under structural constraints is typically analyzed through projection or penalty methods, obscuring the geometric mechanism by which constraints shape admissible dynamics. We propose an operator-theoretic formulation in which…
A perturbative renormalization group is formulated for the study of Hamiltonian light-front field theory near a critical Gaussian fixed point. The only light-front renormalization group transformations found that can be approximated by…
This paper develops an approach to categorical deformation quantization via factorization homology. We show that a quantization of the local coefficients for factorization homology is equivalent to consistent quantizations of its value on…
We develop worldline formulations of covariant fracton gauge theories. These are a one-parameter family of gauge theories of a rank-two symmetric tensor field, invariant under a scalar gauge transformation involving a double derivative.…
