Quantizing the electromagnetic field with a group formalism faces the difficulty of how to turn the traditional gauge transformation of the vector potential, $A_{\mu}(x)\rightarrow A_{\mu}(x)+\partial_{\mu}\varphi(x)$, into a group law. In…

We investigate continuous regularization methods for linear inverse problems of static and dynamic type. These methods are based on dynamic programming approaches for linear quadratic optimal control problems. We prove regularization…
The quantisation of gauge invariant systems usually proceeds through some gauge fixing procedure of one type or another. Typically for most cases, such gauge fixings are plagued by Gribov ambiguities, while it is only for an admissible…

Contrary to the conventional view point of quantization that breaks the gauge symmetry, a gauge invariant formulation of quantum electrodynamics is proposed. Instead of fixing the gauge, some frame is chosen to yield the locally invariant…
We discuss the problem of gauge fixing for the partition function in generalized quantum (or trace) dynamics, deriving analogs of the De Witt-Faddeev-Popov procedure and of the BRST invariance familiar in the functional integral context.
Taking the induced action for gauge fields coupled to affine currents as an example, we show how loop calculations in non-local two-dimensional field theories can be regulated. Our regularisation method for one loop is based on the method…
We establish a result which states that regularizing an inverse problem with the gauge of a convex set $C$ yields solutions which are linear combinations of a few extreme points or elements of the extreme rays of $C$. These can be…
In recent work by the authors, a connection between Feynman's path integral and Fourier integral operator $\zeta$-functions has been established as a means of regularizing the vacuum expectation values in quantum field theories. However,…
A new renormalization scheme for theories with nontrivial internal symmetry is proposed. The scheme is regularization independent and respects the symmetry requirements.
This article reviews the status of several solutions to all the constraints of quantum gravity that have been proposed in terms of loops and extended loops. We discuss pitfalls of several of the results and in particular discuss the issues…

Within the framework of Quantum Reduced Loop Gravity we quantize the Hamiltonian for a gauge vector field. The regularization can be performed using tools analogous to the ones adopted in full Loop Quantum Gravity, while the matrix elements…
Quantum field theory is assumed to be gauge invariant. However it is well known that when certain quantities are calculated using perturbation theory the results are not gauge invariant. The non-gauge invariant terms have to be removed in…
