The basic mechanism how gerbes arise in quantum field theory is explained; in particular the case of chiral fermions in background fields is treated. The role of of various gauge group extensions (central extensions of loop groups and their…
We examine the notion of symmetry in quantum field theory from a fundamental representation theoretic point of view. This leads us to a generalization expressed in terms of quantum groups and braided categories. It also unifies the…

We study the geometry of propagation of relativistic fermions. We propose how to measure its quantum mechanical length. Numerical lattice results for the free propagator of Dirac-Wilson fermions yield Hausdorff dimension d_H=2 for the…
Let $X$ be a compact smooth manifold with boundary. In this article, we study the spaces $\mathcal V^\dagger(X)$ and $\mathcal V^\ddagger(X)$ of so called boundary generic and traversally generic vector fields on $X$ and the place they…
We define and explore the notion of linear weightings for vector bundles, extending the recent work by Loizides and Meinrenken. We construct weighted normal bundles and deformation spaces in the category of vector bundles. We explain how a…
We construct the vector fields associated to the space-time invariances of relativistic particle theory in flat Euclidean space-time. We show that the vector fields associated to the massive theory give rise to a differential operator…
