We consider the long standing problem in field theories of bosons that the boson vacuum does not consist of a `sea', unlike the fermion vacuum. We show with the help of supersymmetry considerations that the boson vacuum indeed does also…

We present the Dirac equation in a geometry with torsion and non-metricity balancing generality and simplicity as much as possible. In doing so, we use the vielbein formalism and the Clifford algebra. We also use an index-free formalism…

We consider wave functions in the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}=L^2(\mathbb{R}^3,\mathbb{C}^4)$ of a single Dirac particle, specifically from the positive-energy subspace $\mathcal{H}_+$ of the free Dirac Hamiltonian. Over the decades, various…

We give an introduction to the techniques from microlocal analysis that have successfully been applied in the investigation of Hadamard states of free quantum field theories on curved spacetimes. The calculation of the wave front set of the…

We define a higher analogue of Dirac structures on a manifold M. Under a regularity assumption, higher Dirac structures can be described by a foliation and a (not necessarily closed, non-unique) differential form on M, and are equivalent to…

We construct and analyze the Jacobi process - in mathematical biology referred to as Wright-Fisher diffusion - using a Dirichlet form. The corresponding Dirichlet space takes the form of a Sobolev space with different weights for the…

Let M be a connected Riemannian manifold and let D be a Dirac type operator acting on smooth compactly supported sections in a Hermitian vector bundle over M. Suppose D has a self-adjoint extension A in the Hilbert space of…

Bosonic formulation of the negative energy sea, so called Dirac sea, is proposed by constructing a hole theory for bosons as a new formulation of the second quantization of bosonic fields. The original idea of Dirac sea for fermions, where…

The covering of the affine symmetry group, a semidirect product of translations and special linear transformations, in $D \geq 3$ dimensional spacetime is considered. Infinite dimensional spinorial representations on states and fields are…

Recently, a new functional analytic construction of quasi-free states for a self-dual CAR algebra has been presented in \cite{Felix2}. This method relies on the so-called strong mass oscillation property. We provide an example where this…

The quantized free Dirac field is considered on Minkowski spacetime (of general dimension). The Dirac field is coupled to an external scalar potential whose support is finite in time and which acts by a Moyal-deformed multiplication with…

In this paper, we continue some work devoted to explicit zero-free discs for a large class of Dirichlet series. In a previous article, such zero-free regions were described using some spaces of functions which were defined with some…

We study quantum effects of recently discovered kink solitons which are constructed self-consistently by coupling to a single, excited fermion bound state. Our studies are based on the observation that in a semi-classical expansion the…

In this note we construct a finite analogue of classical Siegel's Space. Our approach is to look at it as a non commutative Poincare's half plane. The finite Siegel Space is described as the space of Lagrangians of a $2n$ dimensional space…
