We discuss locally Weyl (scale) covariant generalisations of gravitational theories using Riemann-Cartan-Weyl space-times in arbitrary dimensions. We demonstrate the procedure of Weyl gauging on two examples in particular: General…
We find a three-parameter family of ordinary differential systems in dimension six with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $D_4^{(2)}$. This is the second example which gave higher order Painlev\'e type systems of type $D_{4}^{(2)}$. We…
We determine the Hochschild homology and cohomology of the generalized Weyl algebras of rank one which are of 'quantum' type in all but a few exceptional cases.
Using cohomological methods, we identify both trivial and nontrivial contributions to the conformal anomaly in the presence of vectorial torsion in $d=2,4$ dimensions. In both cases, our analysis considers two scenarios: one in which the…
We present a four-parameter family of ordinary differential systems in dimension three with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $D_4^{(1)}$. By obtaining its first integral, we can reduce this system to the second-order non-linear ordinary…
Though the Weyl tensor is a linear combination of the curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar, it does not have all and only the Lie symmetries of these tensors since it is possible, in principle, that "asymmetries cancel". Here we…
We propose a superspace formulation for the Weyl multiplet of N=1 conformal supergravity in five dimensions. The corresponding superspace constraints are invariant under super-Weyl transformations generated by a real scalar parameter. The…
We calculate the Weyl group invariants with respect to a maximal torus of the exceptional Lie group $E_6$.
We calculate the conformal anomaly from 5d Weyl gravity (with broken conformal symmetry) which is conjectured to be supergravity dual to ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theory via AdS/CFT correspondence. Its comparison with ${\cal N}=2$…
The recently introduced manifestly covariant canonical quantization scheme is applied to gravity. New diffeomorphism anomalies generating a multi-dimensional generalization of the Virasoro algebra arise. This does not contradict theorems…
We study substructures of the Weyl group of conformal transformations of the metric of (pseudo)Riemannian manifolds. These substructures are identified by differential constraints on the conformal factors of the transformations which are…
We review our calculation of the Weyl anomaly for d-dimensional conformal field theories that have a description in terms of a (d + 1)-dimensional gravity theory.
Four formulations of quantum mechanics on noncommutative Moyal phase spaces are reviewed. These are the canonical, path-integral, Weyl-Wigner and systematic formulations. Although all these formulations represent quantum mechanics on a…
We define a three-parameter deformation of the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra that generalizes the q-oscillator algebra. By a purely algebraical procedure, we set up on this quantum space two differential calculi that are shown to be invariant on…
We construct a nontrivial cyclic cocycle on the Weyl algebra of a symplectic vector space. Using this cyclic cocycle we construct an explicit, local, quasi-isomorphism from the complex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold to the…
This article undertakes an exploration of simple modules of 3-cyclic quantum Weyl algebra at roots of unity. Under the roots of unity assumption, the algebra becomes a Polynomial Identity algebra and the vector space dimension of the simple…
We classify the band degeneracies in 3D crystals with screw symmetry $n_m$ and broken $\mathcal P*\mathcal T$ symmetry, where $\mathcal P$ stands for spatial inversion and $\mathcal T$ for time reversal. The generic degeneracies along…
The coinvariant algebra of a Weyl group plays a fundamental role in several areas of mathematics. The fake degrees are the graded multiplicities of the irreducible modules of a Weyl group in its coinvariant algebra, and they were computed…
We extend formulae which measure discrepancies for regularized traces on classical pseudodifferential operators to regularized trace cochains, regularized traces corresponding to 0-regularized trace cochains. This extension from 0-cochains…
Using the Moyal *-product and orthosymplectic supersymmetry, we construct a natural non trivial supertrace and an associated non degenerate invariant supersymmetric bilinear form for the Lie superalgebra structure of the Weyl algebra. We…
