It is well known that Einstein's equations assume a simple polynomial form in the Hamiltonian framework based on a Yang-Mills phase space. We re-examine the gravitational dynamics in this framework and show that {\em time} evolution of the…

We propose here a new symplectic quantization scheme, where quantum fluctuations of a scalar field theory stem from two main assumptions: relativistic invariance and equiprobability of the field configurations with identical value of the…

This paper extends the theory of quantum fractional revival (QFR) on unitary Cayley graphs $X=(V(\mathbb{Z}_n),E(S))$ in several directions that remained unresolved in previous work. First, we investigate QFR with respect to the Laplacian…

Many features of Bloch oscillations in one-dimensional quantum lattices with a static force can be described by quasiclassical considerations for example by means of the acceleration theorem, at least for Hermitian systems. Here the…
