Sequences of actions do not commute.. For example, the tick of a clock and the measurement of a position do not commute with one another, since the position will have moved to the next position after the tick. We adopt non-commutative…

A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of…

We extend the ordinary 3D electromagnetic duality to the noncommutative (NC) space-time through a Seiberg-Witten map to second order in the noncommutativity parameter (theta), defining a new scalar field model. There are similarities with…

The evolution of polar perturbations on a spherical background spacetime is analyzed. The matter content is assumed to be a massless scalar field.This provides a nontrivial dynamics to the background and the linearized equations of motion…

In this paper, we present a variational treatment of the linear dependence for a non-orthogonal time-dependent basis set in solving the Schr\"odinger equation. The method is based on: i) the definition of a linearly independent working…

In 4D renormalisable theories, integrating out massive states generates in the low energy effective action higher dimensional operators (derivative or otherwise). Using a superfield language it is shown that a 4D N=1 supersymmetric theory…

In the study of properties within one dimensional dynamics, the assumption of a negative Schwarzian derivative has been shown to be very useful. However, this condition may seem somewhat arbitrary, as it is not inherently a dynamical…

In this paper we couple noncommutative (NC) vielbein gravity to scalar fields. Noncommutativity is encoded in a star product between forms, given by an abelian twist (a twist with commuting vector fields). A geometric generalization of the…

We consider the Schr\"odinger equation with a Hamiltonian given by a second order difference operator with nonconstant growing coefficients, on the half one dimensional lattice. This operator appeared first naturally in the construction and…

High derivative terms do not play a major role in field theories because of the associated complexity and inherent difficulty in connecting these terms to physically measurable quantities. A role for higher derivative terms is analyzed for…

We study the equivalence/duality between various non-commutative gauge models at the classical and quantum level. The duality is realised by a linear Seiberg-Witten-like map. The infinitesimal form of this map is analysed in more details.

A free spinor field on a noncommutative sphere is described starting from a canonical realization of the enveloping algebra U(u(2|1)). The gauge extension of the model - the Schwinger model on a noncommutative sphere is defined and the…

We present an important contribution to the non-commutative approach to the hydrogen atom to deal with lamb shift corrections. This can be done by studying the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in a non-commutative space-time up to…

We show that introducing an extended Heisenberg algebra in the context of the Weyl-Wigner-Groenewold-Moyal formalism leads to a deformed product of the classical dynamical variables that is inherited to the level of quantum field theory,…

Models with higher order derivative terms in the kinetic energy appear not only as effective theories, they can be considered as elementary, renormalizable models in their own right. The extension of Higgs mechanism is discussed for…

This paper presents the detailed, standard treatment of a simple, gauge invariant action for Weyl and Weyl-like Cartan geometries outlined in a previous paper. In addition to the familiar scalar curvature squared and Maxwell terms, the…

We write down three kinds of scale transformations {\tt i-iii)} on the noncommutative plane. {\tt i)} is the analogue of standard dilations on the plane, {\tt ii)} is a re-scaling of the noncommutative parameter $\theta$, and {\tt iii)} is…

We investigate the effect of non-canonical kinetic terms on inflation in supergravity. We find that the biggest impact of such higher-derivative kinetic terms is due to the corrections to the potential that they induce via their effect on…

Noncommutative versions of theories with a gauge freedom define (when they exist) consistent deformations of their commutative counterparts. General aspects of Seiberg-Witten maps are discussed from this point of view. In particular, the…

The kinematical foundations of Schwinger's algebra of selective measurements were discussed in a previous paper (arXiv:1905.12274) and, as a consequence of this, a new picture of quantum mechanics based on groupoids was proposed. In this…
