We construct the space of vector fields on a generic quantum group. Its elements are products of elements of the quantum group itself with left invariant vector fields. We study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms and generalize…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of inner products in a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$ to have an orthogonal basis relative to all the inner products. Some applications to…
In this PhD Thesis we investigate the geometry of random fields on compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular the two-dimensional sphere. In the first part, we characterize isotropic Gaussian fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group…
Equivalences between conformal foliations on Euclidean $3$-space, Hermitian structures on Euclidean $4$-space, shear-free ray congruences on Minkowski $4$-space, and holomorphic foliations on complex $4$-space are explained geometrically…
Given the algebra $T$ of ternions (upper triangular $2\times 2$ matrices) over a commutative field $F$ we consider as set of points of a projective line over $T$ the set of all free cyclic submodules of $T^2$. This set of points can be…
A simple, but fully-covariant model for describing neutral Vector Mesons, in both light and heavy sectors, is briefly illustrated. The main ingredients of our relativistic constituent model are i) an Ansatz for the Bethe-Salpeter vertex for…
In this paper, we develop a general framework of geometric functorial field theories, meaning that all bordisms in question are endowed with geometric structures. We take particular care to establish a notion of smooth variation of such…
We present a genus expansion-type expression for the expected values of products of traces of expressions involving Haar-distributed orthogonal matrices. As with other real genus expansions, nonorientable surfaces appear, in addition to the…
Let f be a map-germ of corank 1 from complex n-space to complex (n+1)-space, and, for k less than or equal to the multiplicity of f, let $D^k(f)$ be its k'th multiple-point scheme -- the closure of the set of ordered k-tuples of pairwise…
We study the $c=1$ conformal field theory of a free compactified boson with radius $r=\sqrt{\beta}$ ($\beta$ is an integer). The Fock space of this boson is constructed in terms of anyon vertex operators and each state is labeled by an…
We study the radiative transitions between vector and pseudoscalar quarkonia in the light-front Hamiltonian approach, and investigate the effects of using different current component and different reference frames. In practical calculations…
We consider algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. The article is concerned with the isomorphism of graded vectorspaces \[ H(\gl(A))\iso\wedge (HC(A)[-1]) \] between the Lie algebra homology of matrices and the free graded…
We prove that a $IR n+1$-valued vector field on IR n is the sum of the traces of two harmonic gradients, one in each component of $IR n+1 \ IR n$ , and of a $IR n$-valued divergence free vector field. We apply this to the description of…
We study relativistically expanding electromagnetic fields of cylindrical geometry. The fields emerge from the side surface of a cylinder and are invariant under translations parallel to the axis of the cylinder. The expansion velocity is…
Let X be a divergence-free vector field defined on a closed, connected Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we show the equivalence between the following conditions: 1. X is in the C1-interior of the set of expansive divergence-free vector…
We develop the axiom system proposed by Kontsevich and Segal to define volume-dependent field theories (VFTs), a class of non-topological quantum field theories whose dependence on the background metric factors through the associated…
We study the cubic vertices for Maxwell-like higher-spins in flat and (A)dS background spaces of any dimension. Reducibility of their free spectra implies that a single cubic vertex involving any three fields subsumes a number of couplings…
In this paper, we investigate vector fields on polyhedral complexes and their associated trajectories. We study vector fields which are analogue of the gradient vector field of a function in the smooth case. Our goal is to define a nice…
The main purpose of this paper is a mathematical construction of a non-perturbative deformation of a two-dimensional conformal field theory. We introduce a notion of a full vertex algebra which formulates a compact two-dimensional conformal…
Some general criteria to produce explicit free algebras inside the division ring of fractions of skew polynomial rings are presented. These criteria are applied to some special cases of division rings with natural involutions, yielding, for…
