Group field theories are particular quantum field theories defined on D copies of a group which reproduce spin foam amplitudes on a space-time of dimension D. In these lecture notes, we present the general construction of group field…
The notions of mass and range of a Brans-Dicke-like scalar field in scalar-tensor and f(R) gravity are subject to an ambiguity that hides a potential trap. We spell out this ambiguity and identify a physically meaningful and practical…
We consider a product of three copies of infinite symmetric group and its representations spherical with respect to the diagonal subgroup. We show that such representations generate functors from a certain category of simplicial…
A Killing tensor field on a Riemannian space corresponds to an integral of the geodesic flow polynomial in momenta. A Killing tensor field is called decomposable if it is a polynomial in Killing vector fields. In this paper, we first prove…
We study random tiling models in the limit of high rotational symmetry. In this limit a mean-field theory yields reasonable predictions for the configurational entropy of free boundary rhombus tilings in two dimensions. We base our…
We study idempotent analogs of topological tensor products in the sense of A. Grothendieck. The basic concepts and results are simulated on the algebraic level. This is one of a series of papers on idempotent functional analysis.
A new technique is proposed to classify a topological field in abelian lattice gauge theories. We perform the classification by regarding the topological field as a local composite field of the gauge field tensor instead of the vector…
We introduce a framework for internal topological symmetries in quantum field theory, including "noninvertible symmetries" and "categorical symmetries". This leads to a calculus of topological defects which takes full advantage of…
In gravitation theory, a fermion field must be regarded only in a pair with a certain tetrad gravitational field. These pairs can be represented by sections of the composite spinor bundle $S\to\Si\to X^4$ where values of gravitational…
This note proposes a new notion of a gradient-like vector field and discusses its implications for the theory of Stein and Weinstein structures.
For a finite field of odd number of elements we construct families of permutation binomials and permutation trinomials with one fixed-point (namely zero) and remaining elements being permuted as disjoint cycles of same length. Binomials and…
We go on with the definition of the theory of the non--Abelian two--tensor fields and find the gauge transformation rules and curvature tensor for them. To define the theory we use the surface {\it exponent} proposed in hep--th/0503234. We…
A typical geometry extracted from the path integral of a quantum theory of gravity might be quite complicated in the UV region. Even if such a configuration is not physical, it may be of interest to understand the details of its nature,…
The present text is a collection of notes about differential geometry prepared to some extent as part of tutorials about topics and applications related to tensor calculus. They can be regarded as continuation to the previous notes on…
The paper aims to adopt the complex quaternion and octonion to formulate the field equations for electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Applying the octonionic representation enables one single definition to combine some physics contents…
These notes attempt to give a short survey of the approach to support theory and the study of lattices of triangulated subcategories through the machinery of tensor triangular geometry. One main aim is to introduce the material necessary to…
We compute the tensor triangular spectrum of perfect complexes of filtered modules over a commutative ring, and deduce a classification of the thick tensor ideals. We give two proofs: one by reducing to perfect complexes of graded modules…
We derive a Cartesian componentwise description of the covariant derivative of tangential tensor fields of any degree on general manifolds. This allows to reformulate any vector- and tensor-valued surface PDE in a form suitable to be solved…
We define some new invariants for 3-manifolds using the space of taut codim-1 foliations along with various techniques from noncommutative geometry. These invariants originate from our attempt to generalise Topological Quantum Field…
A definition for functions of multidimensional arrays is presented. The definition is valid for third-order tensors in the tensor t-product formalism, which regards third-order tensors as block circulant matrices. The tensor function…
