Quaternion-Kaehler four-manifolds, or equivalently anti-self-dual Einstein manifolds, are locally determined by one scalar function subject to Przanowski's equation. Using twistorial methods we construct a Lax Pair for Przanowski's…
We study a generalization of the Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz-Zaboronsky (AKSZ) formulation of the A- and B-models which involves a doubling of coordinates, and can be understood as a complexification of the Poisson $\sigma$-model…
Correlation functions of the XXZ model in the massive and massless regimes are known to satisfy a system of linear equations. The main relations among them are the difference equations obtained from the qKZ equation by specializing the…
In this paper three dimensional higher spin theories in the Chern-Simons formulation with gauge algebra $sl(N,R)$ are investigated which have Lifshitz symmetry with scaling exponent $z$. We show that an explicit map exists for all $z$ and…
We present a unified treatment of exact solutions for a class of four quantum mechanical models, namely the singular anharmonic potential, the generalized quantum isotonic oscillator, the soft-core Coulomb potential, and the…
This paper addresses the question of whether there are 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theories with scale invariance but not conformal invariance. An important loophole in the arguments of Luty-Polchinski-Rattazzi and…
The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem and its higher-dimensional generalizations by Oshikawa and Hastings establish that a translation-invariant lattice model of spin-$1/2$'s can not have a non-degenerate ground state preserving both spin…
Conformal blocks for the WZW model on tori can be represented by vector valued Weyl anti-symmetric theta functions on the Cartan subalgebra satisfying vanishing conditions on root hyperplanes. We introduce a quantum version of these…
We study a class of lattice field theories in two dimensions that includes gauge theories. Given a two dimensional orientable surface of genus $g$, the partition function $Z$ is defined for a triangulation consisting of $n$ triangles of…
We develop a recursive perturbative expansion for the time-convolutionless (TCL) generator of an open quantum system in a generalized Lindblad form. This formulation provides a systematic approach to derive the generator at arbitrary order…
We point out that the one-particle-irreducible vacuum correlation functions of a QFT are the structure constants of an $L_\infty$-algebra, whose Jacobi identities hold whenever there are no local gauge anomalies. The LSZ prescription for…
The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d…
We present a unified framework demonstrating how the spinor complex Lorentz group SL(2,C)/Z\_2 is realized as a canonical subgroup within a four-dimensional complex Riemannian manifold. Building on the complex, holomorphic metric extension…
We prove a combinatorial rule for a complete decomposition, in terms of Langlands parameters, for representations of p-adic $GL_n$ that appear as parabolic induction from a large family (ladder representations). Our rule obviates the need…
The SL(2,R)/U(1) gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model is an exact conformal field theory describing a black hole in two-dimensional space-time. The free field approach of Bershadsky and Kutasov is a suitable formulation of this CFT in order to…
Loop equations of matrix models express the invariance of the models under field redefinitions. We use loop equations to prove that it is possible to define continuum times for the generic hermitian {1-matrix} model such that all…
Integrable quantum field models are known to exist mostly in one space-dimension. Exploiting the concept of multi-time in integrable systems and a Lax matrix of higher scaling order, we construct a novel quantum field model in quasi-two…
In this series of papers, we investigate the projective framework initiated by Jerzy Kijowski and Andrzej Oko{\l}\'ow, which describes the states of a quantum theory as projective families of density matrices. A strategy to implement the…
Topological field theories of Schwarz-type generally admit symmetries whose algebra does not close off-shell, e.g. the basic symmetries of BF models or vector supersymmetry of the gauge-fixed action for Chern-Simons theory (this symmetry…
We consider the topological gauged WZW model in the generalized momentum representation. The chiral field $g$ is interpreted as a counterpart of the electric field $E$ of conventional gauge theories. The gauge dependence of wave functionals…
