We show that thick morphisms (or microformal morphisms) between smooth (super)manifolds, introduced by us before, are classical limits of `quantum thick morphisms' defined here as particular oscillatory integral operators on functions.
We extend the category of (super)manifolds and their smooth mappings by introducing a notion of microformal or "thick" morphisms. They are formal canonical relations of a special form, constructed with the help of formal power expansions in…
"Thick" or "microformal" morphisms of supermanifolds generalize ordinary maps. They were discovered as a tool for homotopy algebras. Namely, the corresponding pullbacks provide $L_{\infty}$-morphisms for $S_{\infty}$ or Batalin--Vilkovisky…
We construct a special class of semiclassical Fourier integral operators whose wave fronts are symplectic micromorphisms. These operators have very good properties: they form a category on which the wave front map becomes a functor into the…
We show how the tangent functor extends from ordinary smooth maps to "microformal morphisms" (also called "thick morphisms") of supermanifolds. Microformal morphisms generalize ordinary maps and correspond to formal canonical relations…
We introduce mappings between spaces of functions on (super)manifolds that generalize pullbacks with respect to smooth maps but are, in general, nonlinear (actually, formal). The construction is based on canonical relations and generating…
Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a self-contained introduction to the necessary mathematical…
We are dealing in this work with such formal and conceptual extensions of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (QM) which contain QM with its standard formalism and interpretation as a subtheory. QM is here primarily equivalently reformulated…
Starting from square-integrable wave functions on a Lie group, we build an invertible Fourier transform mapping them on wave functions on the dual of the Lie algebra. This is a group-theoretic version of the map from position space to…
In the last decade there has been a growing interest in superoscillations in various fields of mathematics, physics and engineering. However, while in applications as optics the local oscillatory behaviour is the important property, some…
Well-defined nonlinear deformations of free quantum fields are introduced as manifestly Poincar\'e invariant scaling and resonance properties of non-dynamical scale models in Minkowski space, instead of introducing nonlinear dynamical…
We reformulate Super Quantum Mechanics in the context of integral forms. This framework allows to interpolate between different actions for the same theory, connected by different choices of Picture Changing Operators (PCO). In this way we…
We study the quantum cosmology of supersymmetric, homogeneous and isotropic, higher derivative models. We recall superfield actions obtained in previous works and give classically equivalent actions leading to second order equations for the…
In 2014, Voronov introduced the notion of thick morphisms of (super)manifolds as a tool for constructing $L_{\infty}$-morphisms of homotopy Poisson algebras. Thick morphisms generalise ordinary smooth maps, but are not maps themselves.…
Following [14] and [12], we formalize the notion of an oscillatory integral interpreted as a functional on the amplitudes supported near a fixed critical point $x_0$ of the phase function with zero critical value. We relate to an…

Based on the previously proposed notions of action operators and of quantum integrability, frequency operators are introduced in a fully quantum-mechanical setting. They are conceptually useful because a new formulation can be given to…
We give an exposition of graded and microformal geometry, and the language of $Q$-manifolds. $Q$-manifolds are supermanifolds endowed with an odd vector field of square zero. They can be seen as a non-linear analogue of Lie algebras (in…
We extend the method for constructing symmetry operators of higher order for two-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians by Kalnins, Kress and Miller (2010). This expansion method expresses the integral in a finite power series in terms of lower…
Affine transformations (dilatations and translations) are used to define a deformation of one-dimensional $N=2$ supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Resulting physical systems do not have conserved charges and degeneracies in the spectra.…
