We construct a pairing, which we call factorization homology, between framed manifolds and higher categories. The essential geometric notion is that of a vari-framing of a stratified manifold, which is a framing on each stratum together…
We introduce geometric quantization in the setting of shifted symplectic structures. We define Lagrangian fibrations and prequantizations of shifted symplectic stacks and their geometric quantization. In addition, we study many examples…
We show (modulo a parity condition) that, a generalized complex brane in a generalized complex manifold is locally equivalent to a holomorphic coisotropic submanifold of a holomorphic Poisson structure, with higher-rank branes corresponding…
The results, different aspects and applications of our method of quantisation on configuration manifolds - called Borel Quantisation - were presented at meetings of the series `Symmetries in Science' and can be found in the published…
The Hamiltonian system of general relativity and its quantization without any matter or gauge fields are discussed on the basis of the symplectic geometrical theory. A symplectic geometry of classical general relativity is constructed using…
We develop the noncommutative geometry (bundles, connections etc.) associated to algebras that factorise into two subalgebras. An example is the factorisation of matrices $M_2(\C)=\C\Z_2\cdot\C\Z_2$. We also further extend the coalgebra…
We consider the quantum version of Arnold's generalisation of a rigid body in classical mechanics. Thus, we quantise the motion on an arbitrary Lie group manifold of a particle whose classical trajectories correspond to the geodesics of any…
This thesis starts with a review of BPS M-branes and their supergravity solutions. These solutions can be obtained in various ways. We describe the harmonic function rule and the Fayyazuddin-Smith metric ansatz in detail, illustrating both…
By investigating the symplectic geometry and geometric quantization on a class of supermanifolds, we exhibit BRST structures for a certain kind of algebras. We discuss the undeformed and q-deformed cases in the classical as well as in the…
We propose to study deformation quantizations of Whitney functions. To this end, we extend the notion of a deformation quantization to algebras of Whitney functions over a singular set, and show the existence of a deformation quantization…
Polymer quantization was discovered during the construction of Loop Quantum Cosmology. For the simplest quantum theory of one degree of freedom, the implications for dynamics were studied for the harmonic oscillator as well as some other…
We use holography to study the spectra of boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs). To do so, we consider a 2-dimensional Euclidean BCFT with two circular boundaries that correspond to dynamical end-of-the-world branes in 3-dimensional…
In this paper, we study the algebra automorphisms and isomorphisms for a family of "symmetric" multiparameter quantized Weyl algebras $\A$ and some related algebras in the generic case. First, we compute the Nakayama automorphism for $\A$…
In this review the foundations of Geometric Quantization are explained and discussed. In particular, we want to clarify the mathematical aspects related to the geometrical structures involved in this theory: complex line bundles, hermitian…
We develop a wave mechanics formalism for qubit geometry using holomorphic functions and Mobius transformations, providing a geometric perspective on quantum computation. This framework extends the standard Hilbert space description,…
This is a survey on our recent works which reveal new relationships among deformation quantization, geometric quantization, Berezin-Toeplitz quantization and BV quantization on K\"ahler manifolds.
Phenomenological compactifications of M-theory involve 7-manifolds with G_2 holonomy and various singularities. Here we study local geometries with such singularities, by thinking of them as compactifications of 7d supersymmetric Yang-Mills…
We discuss the quantization of mechanical systems for which the Hamiltonian vector fields of observables form the deformation of $n$-dimensional oscilator algebra. Because of this fact these systems can be considered as "deformations" of…
We study supersymmetric intersections of M2 and M5 branes with different pp-waves of M-theory. We consider first M-brane probes in the background of pp-waves and determine under which conditions the embedding is supersymmetric. We…
A symplectic manifold $W$ with contact type boundary $M = \partial W$ induces a linearization of the contact homology of $M$ with corresponding linearized contact homology $HC(M)$. We establish a Gysin-type exact sequence in which the…
