D-theory is an alternative non-perturbative approach to quantum field theory formulated in terms of discrete quantized variables instead of classical fields. Classical scalar fields are replaced by generalized quantum spins and classical…
This study reports on the evolution of the probability distribution in the configuration space of the two-dimensional Toda system. The distribution is characterized by singularities, which predominantly take two forms: double-cusped…
The equation of motion of affine Toda field theory is a coupled equation for $r$ fields, $r$ is the rank of the underlying Lie algebra. Most of the theories admit reduction, in which the equation is satisfied by fewer than $r$ fields. The…
We use Dirac's method for the quantization of constrained systems in order to quantize a spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker spacetime in the context of $f(Q)$ cosmology. When the coincident gauge is considered, the…
This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…
Compactification can control chaotic Mixmaster behavior in gravitational systems with p-form matter: we consider this in light of the connection between supergravity models and Kac-Moody algebras. We show that different compactifications…
The global topology of the Universe could, in principle, affect quantum systems through boundary condition constraints. We investigate this connection by analyzing how compact, flat, cosmologically inspired topologies, specifically the…
Consider the infinite dimensional flag manifold $LK/T$ corresponding to the simple Lie group $K$ of rank $l$ and with maximal torus $T$. We show that, for $K$ of type $A$, $B$ or $C$, if we endow the space $H^*(LK/T)\otimes…
We quantize the spin Calogero-Moser model in the $R$-matrix formalism. The quantum $R$-matrix of the model is dynamical. This $R$-matrix has already appeared in Gervais-Neveu's quantization of Toda field theory and in Felder's quantization…
Originally a model for wave propagation on the line, the Toda lattice is a wonderful case study in mechanics and symplectic geometry. In Flaschka's variables, it becomes an evolution given by a Lax pair on the vector space of real,…
A classical model of gravity theory with several dilatonic scalar fields and differential forms admitting an interpretation in terms of intersecting p-branes is studied in (pseudo)-Riemannian space-time $M =R_+\times S^{d_0}\times R_t\times…
By encoding configurations of the ultra-discrete Toda lattice by piecewise linear paths whose gradient alternates between $-1$ and $1$, we show that the dynamics of the system can be described in terms of a shifted version of Pitman's…
We propose a new integrable generalization of the Toda lattice wherein the original Flaschka-Manakov variables are coupled to newly introduced dependent variables; the general case wherein the additional dependent variables are…
In this paper, the classification in [Lin,Wei,Ye] of solutions to Toda systems of type $A$ with singular sources is generalized to Toda systems of types $C$ and $B$. Like in the $A$ case, the solution space is shown to be parametrized by…
This talk describes the evolution of studies of chaos in Yang-Mills fields, gravity, and cosmology. The main subject is a BKL regime near the singularity $t=0$ and its survival in higher dimensions and in string theory. We also describe the…
We study string field theory (third quantization) of the two-dimensional model of quantum geometry called generalized CDT ("causal dynamical triangulations"). Like in standard non-critical string theory the so-called string field…
Based on a more careful canonical analysis, we motivate a reduced quantization - in the sense of superspace quantization - of slightly inhomogeneous cosmology in place of the Dirac quantization in the existing literature, and provide it in…
We define supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary two-dimensional lattice (polygon decomposition) with preserving one supercharge. When a smooth Riemann surface $\Sigma_g$ with genus $g$ emerges as an appropriate continuum limit of…
We investigate the quantum chaotic properties of the Dicke Hamiltonian; a quantum-optical model which describes a single-mode bosonic field interacting with an ensemble of $N$ two-level atoms. This model exhibits a zero-temperature quantum…
Based on the work of Guillarmou, Kupiainen, and Rhodes, we construct compactified imaginary Toda theory on closed Riemann surfaces, extending the rank-one construction to the higher-rank setting. This theory is expected to describe critical…
