We present a survey of rigourous quantization results obtained in recent works on quantum free fields in de Sitter space. For the "massive'' cases which are associated to principal series representations of the de Sitter group SO\_0(1,4),…
We construct the vector fields associated to the space-time invariances of relativistic particle theory in flat Euclidean space-time. We show that the vector fields associated to the massive theory give rise to a differential operator…
Schroedinger equations with position dependent mass which are scale invariant and admit second order integrals of motion are classified.
A new formulation of four dimensional quantum field theories, such as scalar field theory, is proposed as a large N limit of a special NxN matrix model. Our reduction scheme works beyond planar approximation and applies for QFT with finite…
The S-matrix Bootstrap originated on the idea that the S-matrix might be fully constrained by global symmetries, crossing, unitarity, and analyticity without relying on an underlying dynamical theory that may or may not be a quantum field…
A theoretical study is made of conformal factors in certain types of physical theories based on classical differential geometry. Analysis of quantum versions of Weyl's theory suggest that similar field equations should be available in four,…
The superselection sectors of two classes of scalar bilocal quantum fields in D>=4 dimensions are explicitly determined by working out the constraints imposed by unitarity. The resulting classification in terms of the dual of the respective…
In super-symmetric quantum theory, or in string theory, (including generalizations of these theories to underlying quantum spaces) we study a certain partition function Z(Q,A,g). Here Q denotes a supercharge, A denotes an observable with…
In this paper we begin mapping out the space of rank-2 $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in four dimensions. This represents an ideal set of theories which can be potentially classified using purely quantum…
A modular quantum architecture is given for the space-time, particles, and fields of the Standard Model and General Relativity. It assumes a right-handed neutrino, so that based on their multiplet structure all fundamental fermions have…

S-matrix is one of the fundamental observables of the quantum theory of relativistic particles. There have been attempts to understand the quantum dynamics of relativistic particles abstractly in terms of S-matrix bypassing a Lagrangian…
We present a new point of view on the quantization of the massive gravitational field, namely we use exclusively the quantum framework of the second quantization. The Hilbert space of the many-gravitons system is a Fock space ${\cal…
Two very different formulations of the tree-level S-matrix of N=8 Einstein supergravity in terms of rational maps are known to exist. In both formulations, the computation of a scattering amplitude of n particles in the k R-charge sector…
We present the exact solution of a scalar field theory defined with noncommuting position and momentum variables. The model describes charged particles in a uniform magnetic field and with an interaction defined by the Groenewold-Moyal…
We revisit the quantum theory of a massive, minimally coupled scalar field, propagating on the Planck-era isotropic cosmological quantum spacetime which transitions to a classical spacetime in later times. The quantum effects modify the…
Quantum field theories on noncommutative Minkowski space are studied in a model-independent setting by treating the noncommutativity as a deformation of quantum field theories on commutative space. Starting from an arbitrary Wightman…
In this paper we discuss singularity theorems in quantum gravity using effective field theory methods. To second order in curvature, this effective field theory contains two new degrees of freedom which have important implications for the…
We show that the matrix elements of integrable models computed by the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz can be put in direct correspondence with the Form Factors of integrable relativistic field theories. This happens when the S-matrix of a Bethe…
The study of topological quantum field theories increasingly relies upon concepts from higher-dimensional algebra such as n-categories and n-vector spaces. We review progress towards a definition of n-category suited for this purpose, and…
