We establish tools to facilitate the computation and application of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra (DGA), a Legendrian-isotopy invariant of Legendrian knots in standard contact three-space. More specifically, we…
This work comprises a study upon the quantization and the renormalizability of the generalized electrodynamics of spinless charged particles (mesons), namely, the Generalized Scalar Electrodynamics ($GSQED_{4}$). The theory is quantized in…
We discuss the notion of a Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra and give several classical examples from differential geometry and Lie theory. We introduce the notion of a quantum operator algebra (QOA) as a generalization of a classical…

The curved beta-gamma system is the chiral sector of a certain infinite radius limit of the non-linear sigma model with complex target space. Naively it only depends on the complex structures on the worldsheet and the target space. It may…
We first construct an action of the extended double affine braid group $\mathcal{\ddot{B}}$ on the quantum toroidal algebra $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g}_{\mathrm{tor}})$ in untwisted and twisted types. As a crucial step in the proof, we obtain a…
The BRST quantization of particle motion on the hypersurface $V_{(N-1)}$ embedded in Euclidean space $R_N$ is carried out both in Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalism. Using Batalin-Fradkin-Fradkina-Tyutin (BFFT) formalism, the second class…
This is a first stab at a mathematical framework in which one can study quantum field theories on spacetimes with quite general geometries. We will study these theories via their factorization algebras. The aim is to identify a minimalist…
We develop a method of quantization for free field theories on manifolds with boundary where the bulk theory is topological in the direction normal to the boundary and a local boundary condition is imposed. Our approach is within the…
Using the curved bc-beta-gamma system (a tensor product of a Heisenberg and a Clifford vertex algebra) we introduce quantum analogy of Lichnerowicz differential. As follows we suggest new machinery for finding the Lichnerowicz-Poisson…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting linearly on a vector space $V$. We compute the Lie algebra cohomology of the Lie algebra of $\Gamma$-invariant formal vector fields on $V$. We use this computation to define characteristic classes for…
An involutive Lie bialgebra induces a Batalin-Vilkovisky operator on its exterior algebra. We introduce a graded generalization of the necklace Lie bialgebra, which depends on a choice of a quiver $Q$. We relate the resulting…
We study a certain class of bulk-boundary systems in the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism. We construct factorization algebras of observables for such bulk-boundary systems, and show that these factorization algebras have a natural Poisson…
An invariant definition of the operator $\Delta $ of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is proposed. It is defined as the divergence of a Hamiltonian vector field with an odd Poisson bracket (antibracket). Its main properties, which follow…
