We show that Weyl's abandoned idea of local scale invariance has a natural realization at the quantum level in pilot-wave (de Broglie-Bohm) theory. We obtain the Weyl covariant derivative by complexifying the electromagnetic gauge coupling…

We elaborate on nonassociative differential geometry of phase spaces endowed with nonholonomic (non-integrable) distributions and frames, nonlinear and linear connections, symmetric and nonsymmetric metrics, and correspondingly adapted…
Restrictions imposed by gauge invariance in noncommutative spaces together with the effects of ultraviolet/infrared mixing lead to strong constraints on possible candidates for a noncommutative extension of the Standard Model. In this…
We address the phase space formulation of a noncommutative extension of quantum mechanics in arbitrary dimension, displaying both spatial and momentum noncommutativity. By resorting to a covariant generalization of the Weyl-Wigner transform…
Deformation theory refers to an apparatus in many parts of math and physics for going from an infinitesimal (= first order) deformation to a full deformation, either formal or convergent appropriately. If the algebra being deformed is that…
Equations for cosmological evolution are formulated in a Weyl invariant formalism to take into account possible Weyl anomalies. Near two dimensions, the renormalized cosmological term leads to a nonlocal energy-momentum tensor and a slowly…
We consider a noncommutative theory developed in a curved background. We show that the Moyal product has to be conveniently modified and, consequently, some of its old properties are lost compared with the flat case. We also address the…
The generalized Weyl transform of index $\alpha$ is used to implement the time-slice definition of the phase space path integral yielding the Feynman kernel in the case of noncommutative quantum mechanics. As expected, this representation…

In the presence of a variable magnetic field, the Weyl pseudodifferential calculus must be modified. The usual modification, based on ``the minimal coupling principle'' at the level of the classical symbols, does not lead to gauge invariant…
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…
Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are characterized by topologically stable pairs of nodal points in the band structure, that typically originate from splitting a degenerate Dirac point by breaking symmetries such as time reversal or inversion…
This paper is part II of a series of papers on the deformation quantization on the cotangent bundle of an arbitrary manifold $Q$. For certain homogeneous star products of Weyl ordered type (which we have obtained from a Fedosov type…
Noncommutative U(1) gauge theory on the Moyal-Weyl space ${\bf R}^2{\times}{\bf R}^2_{\theta}$ is regularized by approximating the noncommutative spatial slice ${\bf R}^2_{\theta}$ by a fuzzy sphere of matrix size $L$ and radius $R$ .…
The theory of alpha_star-cohomology is studied thoroughly and it is shown that in each cohomology class there exists a unique 2-cocycle, the harmonic form, which generates a particular Groenewold-Moyal star product. This leads to an…
The Weyl-gauge ($A_0^a=0)$ QCD Hamiltonian is unitarily transformed to a representation in which it is expressed entirely in terms of gauge-invariant quark and gluon fields. In a subspace of gauge-invariant states we have constructed that…
