Using the notion of a contravariant derivative, we give some algebraic and geometric characterizations of Poisson algebras associated to the infinitesimal data of Poisson submanifolds. We show that such a class of Poisson algebras provides…

Recently M. Kontsevich found a combinatorial formula defining a star-product of deformation quantization for any Poisson manifold. Kontsevich's formula has been reinterpreted physically as quantum correlation functions of a topological…

The classical Poisson reduction of a given Lagrangian system with (local) gauge symmetries has to be done before its quantization. We propose here a coordinate free and self-contained mathematical presentation of the covariant…

The paper is devoted to peculiarities of the deformation quantization in the algebro-geometric context. A direct application of the formality theorem to an algebraic Poisson manifold gives a canonical sheaf of categories deforming coherent…

We show how to carry out the gauging of the Poisson sigma model in an AKSZ inspired formulation by coupling it to the a generalization of the Weil model worked out in ref. arXiv:0706.1289 [hep-th]. We call the resulting gauged field theory,…

This paper analyzes in details the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization procedure for BF theories on n-dimensional manifolds and describes a suitable superformalism to deal with the master equation and the search of observables. In particular,…

In this paper we study associative algebras with a Poisson algebra structure on the center acting by derivations on the rest of the algebra. These structures, which we call Poisson fibred algebras, appear in the study of quantum groups at…

The fully coupled dynamic interaction problem of the free surface of an incompressible fluid and a rigid body beneath it, in an inviscid, irrotational framework and in the absence of surface tension, is considered. Evolution equations of…

We introduce a mixed holomorphic-topological gauge theory in three dimensions associated to a (freely generated) Poisson vertex algebra. The $\lambda$-bracket of the PVA plays the role of the structure constants of the gauge algebra and the…

We construct quadratic finite-dimensional Poisson algebras and their quantum versions related to rank N and degree one vector bundles over elliptic curves with n marked points. The algebras are parameterized by the moduli of curves. For N=2…

Superimposed D-branes have matrix-valued functions as their transverse coordinates, since the latter take values in the Lie algebra of the gauge group inside the stack of coincident branes. This leads to considering a classical dynamics…

We study the quantization of Chern-Simons theory with group $G$ coupled to dynamical sources. We first study the dynamics of Chern-Simons sources in the Hamiltonian framework. The gauge group of this system is reduced to the Cartan subgroup…

We introduce the concept of boundary degeneracy of topologically ordered states on a compact orientable spatial manifold with boundaries, and emphasize that the boundary degeneracy provides richer information than the bulk degeneracy.…
