We provide the geometric actions for most general N=1 supergravity in two spacetime dimensions. Our construction implies an extension to arbitrary N. This provides a supersymmetrization of any generalized dilaton gravity theory or of any…
Two-dimensional matterless dilaton gravity with arbitrary dilatonic potential can be discussed in a unitary way, both in the Lagrangian and canonical frameworks, by introducing suitable field redefinitions. The new fields are directly…
Reconsideration of the T-duality of the open string allows us to introduce some geometric features in non-geometric theories. First, we have found what symmetry is T-dual to the local gauge transformations. It includes transformations of…
A geometric approach to integrability and reduction of dynamical system is developed from a modern perspective. The main ingredients in such analysis are the infinitesimal symmetries and the tensor fields that are invariant under the given…
We outline a new explanation for the primordial density perturbations in cosmology. Dimension zero fields are a minimal addition to the Standard Model of particle physics: if the Higgs doublet is emergent, they cancel the vacuum energy and…
Using the parent Lagrangian method together with a dimensional reduction from $D$ to $(D-1)$ dimensions we construct dual theories for massive spin two fields in arbitrary dimensions in terms of a mixed symmetry tensor $T_{A[A_{1}A_{2}...…
We investigate multidimensional gravity with the Gauss-Bonnet term and with torsion on the space of extra dimensions chosen to be the group manifold of a simple Lie group. We take the Robertson-Walker ansatz for the 4-dimensional space-time…
We construct a theory of fields living on continuous geometries with fractional Hausdorff and spectral dimensions, focussing on a flat background analogous to Minkowski spacetime. After reviewing the properties of fractional spaces with…
The ``geometry'', in the sense of the classical differential geometry of smooth manifolds (CDG), is put under scrutiny from the point of view of Abstract Differential Geometry (ADG), along with resulting, thereby, potential physical…
We study the fractional gravity for spacetimes with non-integer dimensions. Our constructions are based on a geometric formalism with the fractional Caputo derivative and integral calculus adapted to nonolonomic distributions. This allows…
Nowadays it is widely accepted that the evolution of the universe was driven by some scalar degrees of freedom both on its early stage and at present. The corresponding cosmological models often involve some scalar fields introduced ad hoc.…
In this review we summarize the ongoing effort to study extra-dimensional gauge theories with lattice simulations. In these models the Higgs field is identified with extra-dimensional components of the gauge field. The Higgs potential is…
Considering a theory space consisting of a large number of five-dimensional Dirac fermion field theories including background abelian gauge fields, we can construct a theory similar to a continuous six-dimensional theory compactified with…
We incorporate Sogami's idea in the standard model into our previous formulation of non-commutative differential geometry by extending the action of the extra exterior derivative operator on spinors defined over the discrete space-time;…
In this paper we develop some combinatorial models for continuous spaces. In this spirit we study the approximations of continuous spaces by graphs, molecular spaces and coordinate matrices. We define the dimension on a discrete space by…
In this contribution we present the results of a series of investigations of dimensional reduction, applied to SU(3) gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions. We review earlier results, present a new reduced model with Z(3) symmetry, and discuss…
We present alternative postulates for Euclidean geometry whose merit is that they lead to a new class of invariants and associated geometries for real finite-dimensional unital associative algebras.
We discuss the application of the method of the gaugeless Hamiltonian reduction to general relativity. This method is based on explicit resolving the global part of the energy constraint and on identification of one of the metric components…
Dickson's commutative semifields are an important class of finite division algebras. We generalise Dickson's construction of commutative division algebras by doubling both finite field extensions and central simple algebras and not…
In this paper, we start the investigation of a new natural approach to "unifying" noncommutative gauge field theories (NCGFT) based on approximately finite-dimensional ($AF$) $C^*$-algebras. The defining inductive sequence of an $AF$…
