We compute a Chern-Simons term induced by the fermions on noncommutative torus interacting with two U(1) gauge fields. For rational noncommutativity \theta \propto P/Q we find a new mixed term in the action which involves only those fields…

I study several aspects of the path(st) integral we formulated in previous papers on energetic causal sets with Cortes and others. The focus here is on quantum field theories, including the standard model of particle physics. I show that…

When path integrals are discussed in quantum field theory, it is almost always assumed that the fields take values in a vector bundle. When the fields are instead valued in a possibly-curved fiber bundle, the independence of the formal path…
