The connection between spin and statistics implied by the continuous Lorentz group together with strong reflection (TCP) is shown to hold also for the q-Lorentz group.
Outer automorphisms of symmetries ("symmetries of symmetries") in relativistic quantum field theories are studied, including charge conjugation (C), space-reflection (P) , and time-reversal (T) transformations. The group theory of outer…
The CPT theorem states that a unitary and Lorentz-invariant theory must also be invariant under a discrete symmetry $\mathbf{CRT}$ which reverses charge, time, and one spatial direction. In this article, we study a $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times…
The geometric action of modular groups for wedge regions (Bisognano-Wichmann property) is derived from the principles of local quantum physics for a large class of Poincare covariant models in d=4. As a consequence, the CPT theorem holds…
We construct a new class of symmetric algebras of tame representation type that are also the endomorphism algebras of cluster tilting objects in 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories, hence all their non-projective indecomposable modules are…
Spinor structure and internal symmetries are considered within one theoretical framework based on the generalized spin and abstract Hilbert space. Complex momentum is understood as a generating kernel of the underlying spinor structure. It…
We present a unified group-theoretical framework for superparticle theories. This explains the origin of the ``twistor-like'' variables that have been used in trading the superparticle's $\kappa$-symmetry for worldline supersymmetry. We…
A non-local field theory which breaks discrete symmetries, including C, P, CP, and CPT, but preserves Lorentz symmetry, is presented. We demonstrate that at one-loop level the masses for particle and antiparticle remain equal due to Lorentz…
Double coverings of the orthogonal groups of the real and complex spaces are considered. The relation between discrete transformations of these spaces and fundamental automorphisms of Clifford algebras is established, where an isomorphism…
The general features of renormalization and the renormalization group in QED and in general quantum field theories in curved spacetime with additional Lorentz- and CPT-violating background fields are reviewed.
In the paper it is proven that Carter subgroups of a finite group are conjugate. A complete classification of Carter subgroups in finite almost simple groups is also obtained.
We show that gravitational solitons naturally carry gauge charges beyond those of any local quantum field. The effect of these charged excitations is to break a non-invertible symmetry to its maximal group-like sub-symmetry. Taking these…
We obtain two related characterizations of discrete quantum groups and discrete quantum groups of Kac type as allegorical group objects in the symmetric monoidal dagger category of quantum sets and relations, of interest to quantum…
We investigate 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ supersymmetric theories obtained from a topologically-twisted reduction of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ class $\mathcal{S}$ theories on a Riemann surface. This study addresses subtle aspects of central charges,…
The universal C*-algebras of discrete product systems generalize the Toeplitz- Cuntz algebras and the Toeplitz algebras of discrete semigroups. We consider a semigroup P which is quasi-lattice ordered in the sense of Nica, and, for a…
Local conserved charges in principal chiral models in 1+1 dimensions are investigated. There is a classically conserved local charge for each totally symmetric invariant tensor of the underlying group. These local charges are shown to be in…
We consider four subsets of the complexified spacetime algebra, namely the real even part, the real odd part, the imaginary even part and the imaginary odd part. This naturally leads to the four connected components of the Lorentz group,…
We consider the algebra associated to a group of transformations which are symmetries of a regular mechanical system (i.e. system free of constraints). For time dependent coordinate transformations we show that a central extension may…
We consider the lattice topological charge density introduced by Hasenfratz, Laliena and Niedermayer and propose its eigenmode expansion as a tool to investigate the structure of topological charge fluctuations in QCD. The resulting…
The recently-developed techniques of Noether analysis of the quantum-group spacetime symmetries of some noncommutative field theories rely on the {\it ad hoc} introduction of some peculiar auxiliary transformation parameters, which appear…
