We discuss the relations between (topological) quantum field theories in 4 dimensions and the theory of 2-knots (embedded 2-spheres in a 4-manifold). The so-called BF theories allow the construction of quantum operators whose trace can be…
Let A be the integral closure of the ring of polynomials CC[t], within the field of algebraic functions in one variable. We show that A interprets the ring of integers. This contrasts with the analogue for finite fields, proved to have a…
We present a worldline description of topological non-abelian BF theory in arbitrary space-time dimensions. It is shown that starting with a trivial classical action defined on the worldline, the BRST cohomology has a natural representation…
We study endomorphism rings of principally polarized abelian surfaces over finite fields from a computational viewpoint with a focus on exhaustiveness. In particular, we address the cases of non-ordinary and non-simple varieties. For each…
We study systematically finite BRST- BV transformations in the field-antifield formalism. We present explicitly their Jacobians and the form of a solution to the compensation equation determining the functional field dependence of finite…
There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the…
Integrals arising in the Thomas-Fermi (TF) theory of atomic structure and which contain logarithms of the Airy functions have been expressed in terms of the incomplete Bell polynomials. In keeping with the spirit of TF theory closed forms…
Scalar field systems containing higher derivatives are studied and quantized by Hamiltonian path integral formalism. A new point to previous quantization methods is that field functions and their derivatives with time are considered as…
The propagator of a spinning particle in external Abelian field and in arbitrary dimensions is presented by means of a path integral. The problem has different solutions in even and odd dimensions. In even dimensions the representation is…
New constructions in the theory of fields for multiple integrals are designed. Generalizations of the Legendre - Weyl - Caratheodory transforms and corresponding invariant integrals are introduced and explored. Connection and curvature of…
The Feynman path integral representation of quantum theory is used in a non--parametric Bayesian approach to determine quantum potentials from measurements on a canonical ensemble. This representation allows to study explicitly the…
We present a rigurous disscusion for abelian $BF$ theories in which the base manifold of the $U(1)$ bundle is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. The theory has an infinte number of stages of reducibility. We specify conditions on the base…
We give algorithms to compute isomorphism classes of ordinary abelian varieties defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose characteristic polynomial (of Frobenius) is square-free and of abelian varieties defined over the prime field…
Consider the algebraic dynamics on a torus T=G_m^n given by a matrix M in GL_n(Z). Assume that the characteristic polynomial of M is prime to all polynomials X^m-1. We show that any finite equivariant map from another algebraic dynamics…
The paper studies some properties of the ring of integer-valued quasi-polynomials. On this ring, theory of generalized Euclidean division and generalized GCD are presented. Applications to finite simple continued fraction expansion and…
This is the first in a series of papers on an attempt to understand quantum field theory mathematically. In this paper we shall introduce and study BV QFT algebra and BV QFT as the proto-algebraic model of quantum field theory by exploiting…
3-dimensional BF theory with gauge group $G$ (= Chern-Simons theory with non-compact gauge group $TG$) is a deceptively simple yet subtle topological gauge theory. Formally, its partition function is a sum/integral over the moduli space…
A Lagrangian description of the qubit based on a generalization of Schwinger's picture of Quantum Mechanics using the notion of groupoids is presented. In this formalism a Feynman-like computation of its probability amplitudes is done. The…
We present a unified framework for representing commutative rings through affine algebraic theories and Boolean rings through hyperaffine algebraic theories. This yields categorical equivalences between these theories and, respectively,…
We formulate Bayesian updates in Markov processes by means of path integral techniques and derive the imaginary-time Schr\"{o}dinger equation with likelihood to direct the inference incorporated as a potential for the posterior probability…
