The prime number decomposition of a finite dimensional Hilbert space reflects itself in the representations that the space accommodates. The representations appear in conjugate pairs for factorization to two relative prime factors which can…

We explicitly construct the Rigged Hilbert Space (RHS) of the free Hamiltonian $H_0$. The construction of the RHS of $H_0$ provides yet another opportunity to see that when continuous spectrum is present, the solutions of the Schrodinger…

We study singular Schr\"odinger operators on a finite interval as selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator. We give sufficient conditions for the symmetric operator to be in the $n$-entire class, which was defined in our previous…

We explore the phase structure of nonlinear sigma models with target spaces corresponding to compact quotients of hyperbolic space, focusing on the case of a hyperbolic genus-2 Riemann surface. The continuum theory of these models can be…

We elucidate the large-N dynamics of one-dimensional sigma models with spherical and hyperbolic target spaces and find a duality between the Lagrange multiplier and the angular momentum. In the hyperbolic model we propose a new class of…

We study non-linear sigma models with N local supersymmetries in three space-time dimensions. For N=1 and 2 the target space of these models is Riemannian or Kahler, respectively. All N>2 theories are associated with Einstein spaces. For…

A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. The connection and curvature forms of these metrics take values in pseudodifferential operators. We…

We investigate a new model for the finite one-dimensional quantum oscillator based upon the Lie superalgebra sl(2|1). In this setting, it is natural to present the position and momentum operators of the oscillator as odd elements of the Lie…

For fields that vary slowly on the scale of the lightest mass the logarithm of the vacuum functional of a massive quantum field theory can be expanded in terms of local functionals satisfying a form of the Schr\"odinger equation, the…

We study real-valued valuations on the space of Lipschitz functions over the Euclidean unit sphere $S^{n-1}$. After introducing an appropriate notion of convergence, we show that continuous valuations are bounded on sets which are bounded…

We express the discrete 1+1-dimensional $O(3)$ non-linear sigma model (NL$\sigma$M) in a form well-suited for the continuous variable approach to quantum computing. Within the Schwinger boson formulation, we need two qumodes…

We investigate the space $X$ of unitary hermitian matrices over $\frp$-adic fields through spherical functions. First we consider Cartan decomposition of $X$, and give precise representatives for fields with odd residual characteristic,…

We examine basis functions on momentum space for the three dimensional Euclidean Snyder algebra. We argue that the momentum space is isomorphic to the SO(3) group manifold, and that the basis functions span either one of two Hilbert spaces.…

We study a 3-dimensional topological sigma-model, whose target space is a hyper-Kahler manifold X. A Feynman diagram calculation of its partition function demonstrates that it is a finite type invariant of 3-manifolds which is similar in…

In this paper, our aim is to introduce the concept of a frame in n-Hilbert space and describe some of their properties. We further discuss tight frame relative to n-Hilbert space. At the end, we study the relationship between frame and…

For $1<p<\infty$, we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the Riesz transform operators on metric measure spaces with Riemannian Ricci curvature bounded from below, without any restriction on their dimension. This large class of spaces include…

A covariant quantization of the free spinor fields (s=1/2) in 4-dimensional de Sitter (dS) space-time based on analyticity in the complexified pseudo-Riemanian manifold is presented. We define the Wigthman two-point function ${\cal…

Using the loop variable formalism as applied to a sigma model in curved target space, we give a systematic method for writing down gauge and generally covariant equations of motion for the modes of the free open string in curved space. The…

In superspace a realization of sl2 is generated by the super Laplace operator and the generalized norm squared. In this paper, an inner product on superspace for which this representation is skew-symmetric is considered. This inner product…

Following earlier work, we view two dimensional non-linear sigma model with target space $\cM$ as a single particle relativistic quantum mechanics in the corresponding free loop space $\cLM$. In a natural semi-classical limit…
