In effective models of loop quantum gravity, the onset of quantum effects is controlled by a so-called polymerisation scale. It is sometimes necessary to make this scale phase space dependent in order to obtain sensible physics. A…
We analyze the property of locality with respect to the framework for quantum mechanics based on the path integral formalism. As is well known, this framework makes the same experimental predictions as does the one based on a separable…
On the basis of the canonical quantization procedure, in which we need the indefinite metric Hilbert space, we formulate field diagonal representation for the scalar Lee-Wick model. Euclidean path integral for the model is then constructed…
Some symmetries can be broken in the quantization process (anomalies) and this breaking is signalled by a non-invariance of the quantum path integral measure. In this talk we show that it is possible to formulate also classical field…
We consider a relativistic charged particle in a background scalar field depending on both space and time. Poincar\'e, dilation and special conformal symmetries of the field generate conserved quantities in the charge motion, and we exploit…
A quantum scalar field theory with spacetime-dependent coupling is studied. Surprisingly, while translation invariance is explicitly broken in the classical theory, momentum conservation is recovered at the quantum level for some specific…
Scattering transform is a well known powerful tool for quantisation of field theories in (1+1) dimensions. Conventionally only those models whose classical counterparts admit a Lax pair (origin of which is always mysterious) have been…
We obtain direct, finite, descriptions of a renormalized quantum mechanical system with no reference to ultraviolet cutoffs and running coupling constants, in both the Hamiltonian and path integral pictures. The path integral description…
A new form of the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization is given of the motion of guiding center in strong magnetic field. This is obtained by the effective action for the degree of guiding center which is deduced from the coherent state path…
The cvariant path integral quantization of the theory of the scalar and spinor particles interacting through the abelian and non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge fields is carried out and is shown to be mathematically ill defined due to the…
Earlier work presented a spacetime path formalism for relativistic quantum mechanics arising naturally from the fundamental principles of the Born probability rule, superposition, and spacetime translation invariance. The resulting…
A coarse graining technique akin to block spin transformations that groups together fiducial cells in a homogeneous and isotropic universe has been recently developed in the context of loop quantum cosmology. The key technical ingredient…
Even the uninitiated will know that Quantum Field Theory cannot be introduced systematically in just four lectures. I try to give a reasonably connected outline of part of it, from second quantization to the path-integral technique in…
Integrable quantum mechanical systems with magnetic fields are constructed in two-dimensional Euclidean space. The integral of motion is assumed to be a first or second order Hermitian operator. Contrary to the case of purely scalar…
A method is presented which restricts the space of paths entering the path integral of quantum mechanics to subspaces of $C^\alpha$, by only allowing paths which possess at least $\alpha$ derivatives. The method introduces two external…
Quantum descriptions of polarization show the rich degrees of freedom underlying classical light. While changes in polarization of light are well-described classically, a full quantum description of polarimetry, which characterizes…
Both Bohmian mechanics, a version of quantum mechanics with trajectories, and Feynman's path integral formalism have something to do with particle paths in space and time. The question thus arises how the two ideas relate to each other. In…
In this work, based on the worldline path integral representation of the vacuum energy in spacetime with a Lorentzian metric, we provide a new but complementary interpretation of the Unruh effect. We perform the quantization of the massless…
In this contribution I summarize the achievements of separation of variables in integrable quantum systems from the point of view of path integrals. This includes the free motion on homogeneous spaces, and motion subject to a potential…
This paper has the purpose of presenting in an organic way a new approach to integrable (1+1)-dimensional field systems and their systematic quantization emerging from intersection theory of the moduli space of stable algebraic curves and,…
