We apply Schrodinger-functional techniques to the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with N_f=2 flavors of fermions in the adjoint representation. Our use of hypercubic smearing enables us to work at stronger couplings than did previous studies,…
A procedure is developed for constructing deformations of integrable sigma-models which are themselves classically integrable. When applied to the principal chiral model on any compact Lie group F, one recovers the Yang-Baxter sigma-model…
We study the dynamics of the Gaudin magnet ("central-spin model") using machine-learning methods. This model is of practical importance, e.g., for studying non-Markovian decoherence dynamics of a central spin interacting with a large bath…
In this work, we present straightforward and concrete computations of the unitary irreducible representations of the Euclidean motion group $M(2)$ employing the methods of deformation quantization. Deformation quantization is a quantization…
The possibility that gauge theories with chiral symmetry breaking below the conformal window exhibit an infrared fixed point is explored. With this assumption three aspects of pion physics are reproduced if the the quark mass anomalous…
We consider quantum electrodynamics in noncommutative spacetime by deriving a $\theta$-exact Seiberg-Witten map with fermions in the fundamental representation of the gauge group as an expansion in the coupling constant. Accordingly, we…
We present a new, general approach to gauge theory on principal $G$-spectral triples, where $G$ is a compact connected Lie group. We introduce a notion of vertical Riemannian geometry for $G$-$C^\ast$-algebras and prove that the resulting…
This paper has been inspired by ideas presented by V. V. Kozlov in his works [19, 20]. In this paper our goal is to carry out a thorough analysis of some geometric problems of the dynamics of affinely-rigid bodies. We present two ways to…

We review and extend in several directions recent results on the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity. The central issue in this approach is the search of a Fixed Point having suitable properties, and the tool that is used is a…
We derive a local, gauge invariant action for the SU(N) non-linear sigma-model in 2+1 dimensions. In this setting, the model is defined in terms of a self-interacting pseudo vector-field \theta_\mu, with values in the Lie algebra of the…
A new, configuration-space picture of a formalism of group quantization, the GAQ formalism, is presented in the context of a previous, algebraic generalization. This presentation serves to make a comprehensive discussion in which other…
The existence of non-trivial IR and UV fixed points in gauge theories as a function of the number of fermion flavors and bare coupling is discussed in the light of recent work. It is pointed out that in fact only a small subset of potential…
The Jaynes-Cummings-Gaudin model describes a collection of $n$ spins coupled to an harmonic oscillator. It is known to be integrable, so one can define a moment map which associates to each point in phase-space the list of values of the…
We consider classical and quantum integrable sigma models and their relations with the solutions of renormalization group equations. We say that an integrable sigma model possesses the "nice" duality property if the dual quantum field…
We present a new quantization scheme for $2D$ gravity coupled to an $SU(2)$ principal chiral field and a dilaton; this model represents a slightly simplified version of stationary axisymmetric quantum gravity. The analysis makes use of the…

The pseudo--rigid body represents an example of a constrained system with a nonunimodular gauge group. This system is treated along the guidelines of an algebraic constraint quantization scheme which focusses on observable quantities,…
We formulate a quantization commutes with reduction principle in the setting where the Lie group $G$, the symplectic manifold it acts on, and the orbit space of the action may all be noncompact. It is assumed that the action is proper, and…
