We review the construction of gauge field theories from BRST first-quantized systems and its relation to the unfolded formalism. In particular, the BRST extension of the non linear unfolded formalism is discussed in some details.
We extend unbounded Kasparov theory to encompass conformal group and quantum group equivariance. This new framework allows us to treat conformal actions on both manifolds and noncommutative spaces. As examples, we present unbounded…
In this work, a novel approach for the solution of the inverse conductivity problem from one and multiple boundary measurements has been developed on the basis of the implication of the framework of BV - functions. The space of the…
In this paper we analyse a certain type of higher derivative gauge theories which are known to possess BRST symmetry associated with their higher derivative structure. We first show that these theories are also invariant under a anti-BRST…
We introduce, for every $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifold, a formal exponential map defined in a purely algebraic way and study its properties. As an application, we give a simple new construction of a Fedosov type resolution of the algebra of…
We generalize the classical Blaschke Rolling Theorem to convex domains in Riemannian manifolds of bounded sectional curvature and arbitrary dimension. Our results are sharp and, in this sharp form, are new even in the model spaces of…
We introduce BV-algebra structures on the homology of the space of framed long knots in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in two ways. The first one is given in a similar fashion to Chas-Sullivan's string topology. The second one is defined on the Hochschild…

This paper provides a characterization of functions of bounded variation (BV) in a compact Riemannian manifold in terms of the short time behavior of the heat semigroup. In particular, the main result proves that the total variation of a…
We consider the general gauge theory with a closed irreducible gauge algebra possessing the non-anomalous global (super)symmetry in the case when the gauge fixing procedure violates the global invariance of classical action. The theory is…
In this paper we will survey some recent developments in the last decade or so on variation of Geometric Invariant Theory and its applications to Birational Geometry such as the weak Factorization Theorems of nonsingular projective…
Using five basic principles we treat Gerstenhaber/Lie brackets, BV operators and Master equations appearing in mathematical and physical contexts in a unified way. The different contexts for this are given by the different types of…
We introduce a framework for degenerate classical field theories in the BV formalism, which allows us to discuss many interesting examples of theories which do not admit a Lagrangian description. Further, we study phase spaces and boundary…

We first analyze the anti-BRST and double BRST structures of a certain higher derivative theory that has been known to possess BRST symmetry associated with its higher derivative structure. We discuss the invariance of this theory under…
Bogoliubov's 1947 approximation, originally developed in the microscopic theory of superfluidity, laid the foundation for solving previously intractable quantum models and later became part of "quantum mathematics". Regarding mathematically…
We define equivariant homology theories using bordism of stratifolds with a G-action, where G is a discrete group. Stratifolds are a generalization of smooth manifolds which were introduced by Kreck. He defines homology theories using…
It is shown that under certain boundary conditions the virial theorem has to be modified. We analyze the origin of the extra term and compute it in particular examples. The Coulomb and harmonic oscillator with point interaction have been…
