A variational framework is developed here to quantize fermionic fields based on the extended stationary action principle. From the first principle, we successfully derive the well-known Floreanini-Jackiw representation of the…
We introduce a symmetric Poisson bracket that allows us to describe anticommuting fields on a classical level in the same way as commuting fields, without the use of Grassmann variables. By means of a simple example, we show how the Dirac…
We present a rigorous derivation of a semiclassical propagator for anticommuting (fermionic) degrees of freedom, starting from an exact representation in terms of Grassmann variables. As a key feature of our approach the anticommuting…
We discuss of the conceptual difficulties connected with the anticommutativity of classical fermion fields, and we argue that the "space" of all classical configurations of a model with such fields should be described as an…
We present a frame- and reparametrisation-invariant formalism for quantum field theories that include fermionic degrees of freedom. We achieve this using methods of field-space covariance and the Vilkovisky-DeWitt (VDW) effective action. We…
A link between canonical quantum gravity and fermionic quantum field theory is established in this paper. From a spectral triple construction which encodes the kinematics of quantum gravity semi-classical states are constructed which, in a…
A general quantum-mechanical setting is proposed for the field-antifield formalism as a unique hyper-gauge theory in the field-antifield space. We formulate a Schr\"odinger-type equation to describe the quantum evolution in a "current time"…
We propose a new formalism for quantum field theory which is neither based on functional integrals, nor on Feynman graphs, but on marked trees. This formalism is constructive, i.e. it computes correlation functions through convergent rather…
We describe the elements of a novel structural approach to classical field theory, inspired by recent developments in perturbative algebraic quantum field theory. This approach is local and focuses mainly on the observables over field…
By using a framework where the object of noncommutativity $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ represents independent degrees of freedom, we study the symmetry properties of an extended $x+\theta$ space-time, given by the group $P$', which has the…
We implement in systems of fermions the formalism of pseudoclassical paths that we recently developed for systems of bosons and show that quantum states of fermionic fields can be described, in the Heisenberg picture, as linear combinations…
Berezin integration over fermionic degrees of freedom as a standard tool of quantum field theory is analysed from the viewpoint of noncommutative geometry. It is shown that among the variety of contradictory integration prescriptions…
Classical field theory is considered as a theory of unparametrized surfaces embedded in a configuration space, which accommodates, in a symmetric way, spacetime positions and field values. Dynamics is defined by a (Hamiltonian) constraint…
Introducing constant background fields into the noncommutative gauge theory, we first obtain a Hermitian fermion Lagrangian which involves a Lorentz violation term, then we generalize it to a new deformed canonical noncommutation relations…
We extend the $C^*$-algebraic approach to interacting quantum field theory, proposed recently by Detlev Buchholz and one of us (KF) to Fermi fields. The crucial feature of our approach is the use of auxiliary Grassmann variables in a…
This paper gives an introduction to certain classical physical theories described in the context of locally Minkowskian causal structures (LMCSs). For simplicity of exposition we consider LMCSs which have locally Euclidean topology (i.e.…
An extension of the Field-Antifield formalism to treat anomalous gauge theories with a closed, irreducible classical gauge algebra is proposed. Introducing extra degrees of freedom, we construct the gauge transformations for these new…
We introduce fermionic neural network field theories via Grassmann-valued neural networks. Free theories are obtained by a generalization of the Central Limit Theorem to Grassmann variables. This enables the realization of the free Dirac…
We review the generalization of field theory to space-time with noncommuting coordinates, starting with the basics and covering most of the active directions of research. Such theories are now known to emerge from limits of M theory and…
It is feasible to obtain any basic rule of the already known Quantum Mechanics applying the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to an interacting system of 2 fermionic degrees of freedom. The interaction between those fermionic variables unveils also…
