In this paper we quantize the free-particle on a D-dimensional sphere in an unambiguous way by converting the second-class constraint using St\"uckelberg field shiftting formalism. Further, we argument that this formalism is equivalent to…
Following recent works on corner charges we investigate the boundary structure in the case of the theory of gravity formulated as a constrained BF theory. This allows us not only to introduce the cosmological constant, but also explore the…
The spinless Salpeter equation may be considered either as a standard approximation to the Bethe--Salpeter formalism, designed for the description of bound states within a relativistic quantum field theory, or as the most simple, to a…
Pure three-dimensional gravity is a renormalizable theory with two free parameters labelled by $G$ and $\Lambda$. As a consequence, correlation functions of the boundary stress tensor in AdS$_3$ are uniquely fixed in terms of one…
An analytic method is proposed to compute the surface energy and elementary excitations of the XXZ spin chain with generic non-diagonal boundary fields. For the gapped case, in some boundary parameter regimes the contributions of the two…
In this paper, we have defined the free boundary formulation for two extended Blasius problems. These problems are of interest in boundary layer theory and are deduced from the governing partial differential equations by using appropriate…
We introduce a diagrammatic formulation for a cavity field expansion around the critical temperature. This approach allows us to obtain a theory for the overlap's fluctuations and, in particular, the linear part of the Ghirlanda-Guerra…
The imposition of boundary conditions upon a quantized field can lead to singular energy densities on the boundary. We treat the boundaries as quantum mechanical objects with a nonzero position uncertainty, and show that the singular energy…
We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of a rank-one nonsymmetric matrix. The matrix is expressed as the outer product of two vectors, not necessarily independent. The distributions of…
We calculate the low temperature corrections to the free energy for a sphere in front of a plane. First, the scalar field obeying Dirichet or Neumann boundary conditions is considered. Second, the electromagnetic field is studied, the…
We performed a Lorentz covariant quantization of the spin-1/2 fermion field assuming the space-like energy-momentum dispersion relation. We a\-chieved the task in the following steps: ($i$) determining the unitary realizations of the…
The semi-geostrophic system is widely used in the modelling of large-scale atmospheric flows. In this paper, we prove existence of solutions of the incompressible semi-geostrophic equations in a fully three-dimensional domain with a free…
We discuss BF theories defined on manifolds with spatial boundaries. Variational arguments show that one needs to augment the usual action with a boundary term for specific types of boundary conditions. We also show how to use this…
A free non-relativistic particle moving in two dimensions on a half-plane can be described by self-adjoint Hamiltonians characterized by boundary conditions imposed on the systems. The most general boundary condition is parameterized in…
Jarzynski's equality [1] allows us to investigate free energy landscapes (FELs) by constructing distributions of work performed on a system from an initial ensemble of states to final states. This work is experimentally measured by…
The requirements of conformal invariance for the two point function of the energy momentum tensor in the neighbourhood of a plane boundary are investigated, restricting the conformal group to those transformations leaving the boundary…
We study systems containing electrons and nuclei. Based on the fact that the thermodynamic limit exists for systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove that the same limit is obtained if one imposes other boundary conditions such…
This article investigates stationary surfaces with boundaries, which arise as the critical points of functionals dependent on curvature. Precisely, a generalized "bending energy" functional $\mathcal{W}$ is considered which involves a…
We study quantum field theories with boundary by utilizing non-invertible symmetries. We consider three kinds of boundary conditions of the four dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory at the critical point as examples. The weights…
For the Alt-Caffarelli problem, we study free boundary regularity of energy minimizers. In six dimensions, we show that free boundaries are analytic for generic boundary data. In general, we improve previous generic Hausdorff dimensions of…
