An operator $T$ from vector lattice $E$ into vector topology $(F,\tau)$ is said to be order-to-topology continuous whenever $x_\alpha\xrightarrow{o}0$ implies $Tx_\alpha\xrightarrow{\tau}0$ for each $(x_\alpha)_\alpha\subset E$. The…
We discuss ways in which momentum operators can be introduced on an oriented metric graph. A necessary condition appears to the balanced property, or a matching between the numbers of incoming and outgoing edges; we show that a graph…
We discuss the target-space interpretation of the world-sheet logarithmic operators in string theory. These operators generate the normalizable zero modes (discrete states) in target space, which restore the symmetries of the theory broken…
Gauge-invariant boundary conditions in Euclidean quantum gravity can be obtained by setting to zero at the boundary the spatial components of metric perturbations, and a suitable class of gauge-averaging functionals. This paper shows that,…
We study infinite weighted graphs with view to \textquotedblleft limits at infinity,\textquotedblright or boundaries at infinity. Examples of such weighted graphs arise in infinite (in practice, that means \textquotedblleft…
We shall say that a densely defined closed operator $T$ on a Hilbert space is balanced if $\cD(T)=\cD(T^*)$. Balanced operators are described in terms of their phase operators abnd their moduli. Examples of balanced operators are developed.…
We study vertex operators in 4D conformal field theory derived from quantized gravity, whose dynamics is governed by the Wess-Zumino action by Riegert and the Weyl action. Conformal symmetry is equal to diffeomorphism symmetry in the…
We consider a regularization concept for the solution of ill--posed operator equations, where the operator is composed of a continuous and a discontinuous operator. A particular application is level set regularization, where we develop a…
Simple examples are used to introduce and examine symmetries of open quantum dynamics that can be described by unitary operators. For the Hamiltonian dynamics of an entire closed system, the symmetry takes the expected form which, when the…
The modern approach to $m$-form global symmetries in a $d$-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) entails specifying dimension $d-m-1$ topological generalized symmetry operators which non-trivially link with $m$-dimensional defect…
Topological gravity is the reduction of Einstein's theory to spacetimes with vanishing curvature, but with global degrees of freedom related to the topology of the universe. We present an exact Hamiltonian lattice theory for topological…
Boundary theories of static bulk topological phases of matter are obstructed in the sense that they cannot be realized on their own as isolated systems. The obstruction can be quantified/characterized by quantum anomalies, in particular…
We study homological structure of the filtrations of the spaces of self-adjoint operators by the multiplicity of the ground state. We consider only operators acting in a finite dimensional complex or real Hilbert space but infinite…
Local operators are the basic observables in quantum field theory which encode the physics observed by a local experimentalist. However, when gravity is dynamical, diffeomorphism symmetries are gauged which apparently obstructs a sensible…
A new class of operators, larger than $C$-symmetric operators and different than normal one, named $C$--normal operators is introduced. Basic properties are given. Characterizations of this operators in finite dimensional spaces using a…
We present a new method for constructing $C_0$-semigroups for which properties of the resolvent of the generator and continuity properties of the semigroup in the operator-norm topology are controlled simultaneously. It allows us to show…
The notion of a regular operator with compact supports between function spaces is introduced. On that base we obtain a characterization of absolute extensors for zero-dimensional spaces in terms of regular extension operators having compact…
We find the set of generalized symmetries associated with the free graviton theory in four dimensions. These are generated by gauge invariant topological operators that violate Haag duality in ring-like regions. As expected from general QFT…
An alternative expression for the length operator in loop quantum gravity is presented. The operator is background independent, symmetric, positive semidefinite, and well defined on the kinematical Hilbert space. The expression for the…
Semigroups generated by topological operations such as closure, interior or boundary are considered. It is noted that some of these semigroups are in general finite and noncommutative. The problem is formulated whether they are always…
