Quantum field theory unifies concepts from quantum theory and from special relativity. Its mathematically rigorous description is quite intricate and is only partially understood; this is particularly true for the construction of operators…
We consider the first quantised approach to quantum field theory coupled to a non-Abelian gauge field. Representing the colour degrees of freedom with a single family of auxiliary variables the matter field transforms in a reducible…
In this paper, We construct the symmetric tensor field $G_{f_1f_2}$ and $h_{f_1f_2}$ on a product manifold and we give conditions under which $G_{f_1f_2}$ becomes a metric tensor, theses tensors fields will be called the generalized warped…
Incompressible fields are of a special importance in electrodynamics, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics. We shall derive a few expressions for such fields in a Riemannian manifold, and show how to generate an incompressible field from…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate applications the covariant derivatives, killing vector fields and to calculate the components of the curvature tensor CGR of the Cheeger-Gromoll metric with respect to adapted frames in a the…
The theory of harmonic vector fields on Riemannian manifolds is generalised to pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic conformal gradient fields on pseudo-Euclidean hyperquadrics are classified up to congruence, as are harmonic Killing fields…
Riemann surfaces with nodes can be described by introducing simple composite operators in matrix models. In the case of the Kontsevich model, it is sufficient to add the quadratic, but ``non-propagating'', term (tr[X])^2 to the Lagrangian.…
We introduce an analog of the Maxwell operator on a q-Minkowski space algebra (treated as a particular case of the so-called Reflection Equation Algebra) and on certain of its quotients. We treat the space of "quantum differential forms" as…
In this work we analyze complex scalar fields using a new framework where the object of noncommutativity $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ represents independent degrees of freedom. In a first quantized formalism, $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ and its canonical…
The geometry of antisymmetric fields with nontrivial transitions over a base manifold is described in terms of exact sequences of cohomology groups. This formulation leads naturally to the appearance of nontrivial topological charges…
We review some ideas from a recent construction which introduced the notion of vertex operators and form factors as vacuum expectation values of related vertex operators in the space of fields. The vertex operators are constructed…
We use algebras of pseudodifferential operators on groupoids to study geometric operators on non-compact manifolds and singular spaces. The first step is to establish that the geometric operators are in our algebras. This then leads to…
The infinitesimal symmetries of a fully decomposed non-Abelian gerbe can be generated in terms of a nilpotent BRST operator, which is here constructed. The appearing fields find a natural interpretation in terms of the universal gerbe, a…
We shall describe a simple generalization of commutative rings. The category GR of such "rings", contains the ordinary commutative rings (fully faithfully), but also the "integers" and "residue field" at a real or complex place of a field ;…
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…
In this paper we introduce geometric tools to study the families of rational vector fields of a given degree over $\mathbb C\mathbb P^1$. To a generic vector field of such a parametric family we associate several geometric objects: a…
(This short article is a continuation of a longer, review work, in the same volume of Proceedings, by Ashtekar, Marolf and Mour\~ao [gr-qc/9403042]. All the details and other results are to be found in joint papers of the author with Abhay…
In this work, a new ansatz is introduced to make the calculations of the metric operator in Pseudo-Hermitian field theory simpler. The idea is to assume that the metric operator is not only a functional of the field operators $\phi$ and its…
For any triple $(M^n, g, \nabla)$ consisting of a Riemannian manifold and a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion we introduce an elliptic, second order operator $\Omega$ acting on spinor fields. In case of a reductive space and its…
Using a duality between the space of particles and the space of fields, we show how one can compute form factors directly in the space of fields. This introduces the notion of vertex operators, and form factors are vacuum expectation values…
