We consider the noncommutative space $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, a deformation of the algebra of functions on $\mathbb{R}^3$ which yields a foliation of $\mathbb{R}^3$ into fuzzy spheres. We first review the construction of a natural matrix…
One of the questions investigated in deformation theory is to determine to which algebras can a given associative algebra be deformed. In this paper we investigate a different but related question, namely: for a given associative…
We study the quantum field theory (QFT) of a free, real, massless and curvature coupled scalar field on self-similar symmetric spacetimes, which are deformed by an abelian Drinfel'd twist constructed from a Killing and a homothetic Killing…
In the framework of formal deformation quantization, we apply our formal moment map construction on the space of almost complex structures to recover the Donaldson-Fujiki moment map picture of the Hermitian scalar curvature. In the…
We present an adaptive geometry in which the yardstick co-deforms with space itself, formulated on cellular spaces where length is a count: distances are shortest cell-crossing counts. No cell shape, angles, or embedding are assumed; the…
With the LHC entering the precision era, focus on interpreting the measurements performed in an effective field theory holds key to testing the Standard Model. An effective field theory provides a well-defined theoretical formalism which…
The method of deforming free fields by using multiplication operators on Fock space, introduced by G. Lechner in [11], is generalized to a charged free field on two- and three-dimensional Minkowski space. In this case the deformation…

In this paper, we investigate the relation between the curvature of the physical space and the deformation function of the deformed oscillator algebra using non-linear coherent states approach. For this purpose, we study two-dimensional…
The evolution of human intelligence led to the huge amount of data in the information space. Accessing and processing this data helps in finding solutions to applied problems based on finite-dimensional models. We argue, that formally, such…
A deformed differential calculus is developed based on an associative star-product. In two dimensions the Hamiltonian vector fields model the algebra of pseudo-differential operator, as used in the theory of integrable systems. Thus one…
We show that non-linear dynamics of a scalar field {\phi} may be described as a mod- ification of the spacetime geometry. Thus, the self-interaction is interpreted as a coupling of the scalar field with an effective gravitational metric…

We study the contribution of the torsion-descendent four-fermion contact interaction to the decay width of a neutral (pseudo)scalar field into a fermion pair. This new interaction comes from the existence of gravitational torsion in models…
In this talk we present a field theoretical model constructed in Minkowski N=1 superspace with a deformed supercoordinate algebra. Our study is motivated in part by recent results from super-string theory, which show that in a particular…
We study the cubic vertices for Maxwell-like higher-spins in flat and (A)dS background spaces of any dimension. Reducibility of their free spectra implies that a single cubic vertex involving any three fields subsumes a number of couplings…
We investigate the moduli space of conformal field theories by setting up a canonical mathematical process for exponentiating perturbations corresponding to critical fields. We apply this process to the free field theory and the Gepner…

Several related operator-algebraic constructions for quantum field theory models on Minkowski spacetime are reviewed. The common theme of these constructions is that of a Borchers triple, capturing the structure of observables localized in…
