By identifying each standard flag with a trivalent Feynman diagram, the corresponding propagators can be read directly from the flag itself. Within the flag representation, the kinematic Jacobi identity (equivalently, the residue theorem on…

We examine a large class of scalar quantum field theories where vertices are able to cancel adjacent propagators. These theories are obtained as diffeomorphisms of the field variable of a free field. Their connected correlations functions…
In this note we study the properties of a sequence of approximate propagators for the Schr\"odinger equation, in the spirit of Feynman's path integrals. Precisely, we consider Hamiltonian operators arising as the Weyl quantization of a…

In this article, we look into geodesics in the Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter metric in (3+1) spacetime dimensions. We investigate the class of marginally bound geodesics (timelike and null), while comparing their behavior with the normal…
We analyze the disordered Riemannian geometry resulting from random perturbations of the Euclidean metric. We focus on geodesics, the paths traced out by a particle traveling in this quenched random environment. By taking the point of the…
In this work we obtain a nondemolition variable for the case in which a charged particle moves in the electric and gravitational fields of a spherical body. Afterwards we consider the continuous monitoring of this nondemolition parameter,…
