This paper deals with several technical issues of non-perturbative four-dimensional Lorentzian canonical quantum gravity in the continuum that arose in connection with the recently constructed Wheeler-DeWitt quantum constraint operator. 1)…
In the present work, we study the quantum cosmology description of closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models in the presence of a positive cosmological constant and a generic perfect fluid. We work in the Schutz's variational formalism. If…
Different proposals for the wave function of the universe are analyzed, with an emphasis on various forms of the tunneling proposal. The issues discussed include the equivalence of the Lorentzian path integral and outgoing-wave proposals,…
An approach to quantization of fields and gravity based on the De Donder-Weyl covariant Hamiltonian formalism is outlined. It leads to a hypercomplex extension of quantum mechanics in which the algebra of complex numbers is replaced by the…
We present a quantum deformation theory of the Airy curve and use it to establish a version of mirror symmetry of a point.
A covariant Hamiltonian formulation generalizing De Donder-Weyl mechanics is constructed with field strengths as velocity fields. Since the teleparallel equivalents to general relativity are quadratic in field strengths, the field-strength…
Rules of quantization and equations of motion for a finite-dimensional formulation of Quantum Field Theory are proposed which fulfill the following properties: a) both the rules of quantization and the equations of motion are covariant; b)…
Epistemic models of nature prove to be problematic in many settings, particularly in those in which measurement procedures are ill-defined. By contrast, in ontological models of nature, measurement results are independent of the procedure…
This paper discusses the notion of a deformation quantization for an arbitrary polynomial Poisson algebra A. We examine the Hochschild cohomology group H^3(A) and find that if a deformation of A exists it can be given by bidifferential…
We define covariantly a deformation of a given algebra, then we will see how it can be related to a deformation quantization of a class of observables in Quantum Field Theory. Then we will investigate the operator order related to this…

With the help of the Seiberg-Witten map for photons and fermions we define a theta-deformed QED at the classical level. Two possibilities of gauge-fixing are discussed. A possible non-Abelian extension for a pure theta-deformed Yang-Mills…

We give an introduction into quantum cosmology with emphasis on its conceptual parts. After a general motivation we review the formalism of canonical quantum gravity on which discussions of quantum cosmology are usually based. We then…
In this paper, the deformed Special Relativity, which leads to an essentially new theoretical context of quantum mechanics, is presented. The formulation of the theory arises from a straightforward analogy with the Special Relativity, but…
We consider a general reducible gauge theory deformed by mass or/and interaction terms violating gauge invariance. It is shown that in the Abelian case, by using the Stueckelberg-type procedure, this theory with broken gauge symmetry can be…
Commuting and noncommuting space-time coordinates in a class of deformed special relativity theories are investigated. Their momentum space representation, transformation behaviour, space-time algebra, invariants and the corresponding field…
The limiting transitions between different types of quantizations are studied by the deformation theory methods. We prove that for the first order coboundary deformation (g,g*_1 + x g*_2) of a Lie bialgebra (g,g*) one can always get the…

Minimal and maximal uncertainties of position measurements are widely considered possible hallmarks of low-energy quantum as well as classical gravity. While General Relativity describes interactions in terms of spatial curvature, its…
