We obtain the primitively divergent diagrams in $\kappa$-deformed scalar field in four-dimensional spacetime with quartic self-interaction in order to investigate the effect of the fundamental length $q=1/(2\kappa)$ on such diagrams. Thanks…
We study, in the imaginary time formalism, the relation between loops and on-shell forward scattering tree amplitudes in thermal field theories. This allows for an efficient evaluation, at all temperatures, of Green's functions with causal…
The retarded Green function of a wave equation on a 4-dimensional curved background spacetime is a (generalized) function of two spacetime points and diverges when these are connected by a null geodesic. The Hadamard form makes explicit the…
In the last decade or so there has been debate over the possibility that the fuzzy quantum nature of spacetime might decohere wavefronts emanating from very distant sources. Consequences of that could be "blurred" or "faded" images of…
We construct Green's functions for divergence form, second order parabolic systems in non-smooth time-varying domains whose boundaries are locally represented as graph of functions that are Lipschitz continuous in the spatial variables and…
We present a new formulation of Fourier transform in the picture of the $\kappa$-algebra derived in the framework of the $\kappa$-generalized statistical mechanics. The $\kappa$-Fourier transform is obtained from a $\kappa$-Fourier series…
We study quantum causal structures in $1+1$ $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time described by a Lorentzian Spectral Triple whose Dirac operator is built from a natural set of twisted derivations of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra. We show that the…
In special relativity theory the physical quantities are generally expressed as function of the velocity. In the particular case of an extended object, the factor 1/gamma of Lorentz contraction of its length in the direction of motion is…
We describe the results of a search for time variability of the fine structure constant, alpha, using absorption systems in the spectra of distant quasars. Three large optical datasets and two 21cm/mm absorption systems provide four…
We apply the theory of multiple wave scattering to two contemporary, related topics: imaging with diffuse correlations and stability of time-reversal of diffuse waves, using equipartition, coherent backscattering and frequency speckles as…
We can think of a lensed quasar as taking the Hubble time, shrinking it by \~10^{-11}, and then presenting the result to us as a time delay; the shrinking factor is of the order of fractional sky-area that the lens occupies. This cute fact…
Energy release in the early Universe leads to spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) which in the future might allow probing different physical processes in the pre-recombination (z>~10^3) epoch. Depending on the…
It is shown that characteristic functions of sets can be made fuzzy by means of the $\mathcal{B}_{\kappa}$-function, recently introduced by the author, where the fuzziness parameter $\kappa \in \mathbb{R}$ controls how much a fuzzy set…
Recent results on causality in noncommutative space-time are reviewed. We study, in particular, quantum causal structures in 1+1 dimensional kappa Minkowski space-time. This later is described by a twisted Lorentzian Spectral Triple build…
In this paper, we give a simple diagrammatic identification of the unique combination of the causal n-point vertex functions in the real time formalism that would coincide with the corresponding functions obtained in the imaginary time…
A general formalism is developed that allows the construction of a field theory on quantum spaces which are deformations of ordinary spacetime. The symmetry group of spacetime (Poincar\' e group) is replaced by a quantum group. This…
The n-point Green functions of Landau gauge QCD are systematically investigated in a Dyson-Schwinger approach assuming a static linearly rising potential between fundamental color charges. Besides quarks also scalar matter in the…
A set of Green functions ${\cal G}_{\alpha}(x-y), \alpha \in [0, 2 \pi [$, for free scalar field theory is introduced, varying between the Hadamard Green function $\Delta_1(x-y) \equiv \linebreak[2] \lsta{0} \hspace{-0.1cm} \{ \varphi(x),…
There are indications from the study of quasar absorption spectra that the fine structure constant $\alpha$ may have been measurably smaller for redshifts $z>2.$ Analyses of other data ($^{149}$Sm fission rate for the Oklo natural reactor,…
The fundamental solution (Green function) for the Cauchy problem of the space-time fractional diffusion equation is investigated with respect to its scaling and similarity properties, starting from its Fourier-Laplace representation. Then,…
