A modal logic based on quantum logic is formalized in its simplest possible form. Specifically, a relational semantics and a sequent calculus are provided, and the soundness and the completeness theorems connecting both notions are…
We highlight the general notion of a relative quantum field theory, which occurs in several contexts. One is in gauge theory based on a compact Lie algebra, rather than a compact Lie group. This is relevant to the maximal superconformal…
The idea of "summing over all intermediate states" that is central for implementing locality in quantum systems can be realized by coend constructions. In the concrete case of systems of conformal blocks for a certain class of conformal…
The mathematical formalism for linear quantum field theory on curved spacetime depends in an essential way on the assumption of global hyperbolicity. Physically, what lie at the foundation of any formalism for quantization in curved…
Generalizing our earlier work, we introduce the homogeneous quantum $Z$-algebras for all quantum affine algebras $\alg$ of type one. With the new algebras we unite previously scattered realizations of quantum affine algebras in various…
Jet formalism provides the adequate mathematical formulation of classical field theory, reviewed in hep-th/0612182v1. A formulation of QFT compatible with this classical one is discussed. We are based on the fact that an algebra of…
We describe quantum enveloping algebras of symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebras via a finite field Hall algebra construction involving Z_2-graded complexes of quiver representations.
In this paper, we present a canonical association of quantum vertex algebras and their $\phi$-coordinated modules to Lie algebra $\gl_{\infty}$ and its 1-dimensional central extension. To this end we construct and make use of another…
We introduce quantum Boolean algebras which are the analogue of the Weyl algebras for Boolean affine spaces. We study quantum Boolean algebras from the logical and set theoretical viewpoints.
We investigate the possibility that the quantum theory of gravity could be constructed discretely using algebraic methods. The algebraic tools are similar to ones used in constructing topological quantum field theories.The algebraic tools…
The transition from a classical to quantum theory is investigated within the context of orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebras, first for particles, and then for fields. It is shown that the generators of Clifford algebras have the…
We give a summary of the theory of (weak) quantum vertex $\C((t))$-algebras and the association of quantum affine algebras with (weak) quantum vertex $\C((t))$-algebras.
In this paper, we associate the quantum toroidal algebra $\mathcal{E}_N$ of type $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ with quantum vertex algebra through equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules. More precisely, for every $\ell\in \mathbb{C}$, by…
This is a paper in a series to study vertex algebra-like structures arising from various algebras including quantum affine algebras and Yangians. In this paper, we develop a theory of what we call (weak) quantum vertex $\F((t))$-algebras…
This paper is a programmatic article presenting an outline of a new view of the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. In short, the proposed foundations are given by the following statements: * Coherent quantum physics…
A very elementary introduction to quantum algebras is presented and a few examples of their physical applications are mentioned.
In this paper we give a streamlined overview of some of the recent constructions provided with K.-H. Neeb, G. \'Olafsson and collaborators for a new geometric approach to Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT). Motivations, fundamental…
The quantum field algebra of real scalar fields is shown to be an example of infinite dimensional quantum group. The underlying Hopf algebra is the symmetric algebra S(V) and the product is Wick's normal product. Two coquasitriangular…
Quantum categories were introduced in [4] as generalizations of both bi(co)algebroids and small categories. We clarify details of that work. In particular, we show explicitly how the monadic definition of a quantum category unpacks to a set…
We categorify the quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras by constructing their associated Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras.
