We reduce the massless scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime to future null infinity. We compute the Poincar\'e flux operators, which can be generalized and identified as the supertranslation and superrotation generators. These…

The idea that the universe has zero total energy when one includes the contribution from the gravitational field is reconsidered. A Hamiltonian is proposed as an energy for the exact equations of FRW cosmology: it is then shown that this…

It is shown that the canonical quantum field theory of radiation based on the field theoretical generalization of a recently proposed [1] commutation relation between position and momentum operators of massless particles leads to zero…

A recent paper \cite{Bousso:2022cun} put forward a theorem showing that hyperentropic surface would result in incomplete null generators for a null hypersurface emanating from the surface provided it satisfies the null curvature condition…

A shear-free ray congruence on Minkowski space is a 3-parameter family of null geodesics along which Lie transport of a complementary 2-dimensional spacelike subspace (called the screen space) is conformal. Such congruences are defined by…

We describe a new viewpoint on canonical quantization of linear fields on a general curved background that encompasses and generalizes the standard treatment of canonical QFT given in textbooks. Our method permits the construction of pure…

The null-surface formulation of general relativity -- recently introduced -- provides novel tools for describing the gravitational field, as well as a fresh physical way of viewing it. The new formulation provides ``local'' observables…

We consider the quantum radiation from a partially reflecting moving mirror for the massless scalar field in 1+1 Minkowski space. Partial reflectivity is achieved by localizing a delta-type potential at the mirror's position. The radiated…

We consider the correspondence between solutions of non-gravitational field theories formulated in Euclidean space-time and Minkowski space-time. Infinitely many "Euclidean" spaces can be obtained from M4 via a group of transformations in…

In this paper, we introduced the mildly version of the Hurewicz basis covering property, studied by Babinkostova, Ko\v{c}inac, and Scheepers. A space $X$ is said to have mildly-Hurewicz property if for each sequence $\langle \mathcal{U}_n :…

The practice of setting quantum fields as sources for classical general relativity is examined. Several conceptual problems are identified which invalidate apparently innocuous equations. Alternative ways to links classical general…
