We discuss the functional representation of fermions, and obtain exact expressions for wave-functionals of the Schwinger model. Known features of the model such as bosonization and the vacuum angle arise naturally. Contrary to expectations,…

In this paper, we present a variational treatment of the linear dependence for a non-orthogonal time-dependent basis set in solving the Schr\"odinger equation. The method is based on: i) the definition of a linearly independent working…
We consider the Schr\"odinger equation \begin{equation*} i \displaystyle\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} +Hu=0,\quad H=a(x,D), \end{equation*} where the Hamiltonian $a(z)$, $z=(x,\xi)$, is assumed real-valued and smooth, with bounded…
Application of the so-called refined algebraic quantization scheme for constrained systems to the relativistic particle provides an inner product that defines a unique Fock representation for a scalar field in curved space-time. The…
For Klein-Gordon fields, it is well known that there exist an infinite number of nonequivalent Fock representations of the canonical commutation relations and, therefore, of inequivalent quantum theories. A context in which this kind of…
We study polarized Gowdy cosmologies on the three torus coupled to a massive scalar field. The phase space of the model admits a simple splitting between homogeneous and inhomogeneous sectors after a suitable gauge fixing. The presence of…
In the language of Feynman path integrals the quantization of gauge theories is most easily carried out with the help of the Schr\"odinger Functional (SF). Within this formalism the essentially unique gauge fixing condition is $A_{\circ} =…
