We study the decomposition of the Hilbert space of quantum field theory in $(d+1)$ dimensional de Sitter spacetime into Unitary Irreducible Representations (UIRs) of its isometry group \SO$(1,d+1)$. Firstly, we consider multi-particle…

We construct the Wightman function for symmetric traceless tensors and Dirac fermions in dS$_{d+1}$ in a coordinate and index free formalism using a $d+2$ dimensional ambient space. We expand the embedding space formalism to cover spinor…

A class of vector-tensor theories arises naturally in the framework of quadratic gravity in spacetimes with linear vector distortion. Requiring the absence of ghosts for the vector field imposes an interesting condition on the allowed…

The fermion propagator is derived in detail from the model of fermion coupled to loop quantum gravity. As an ingredient of the propagator, the vacuum state is defined as the ground state of some effective fermion Hamiltonian under the…

We explicitly rewrite the path integral for the free or critical $O(N)$ (or $U(N)$) bosonic vector models in $d$ space-time dimensions as a path integral over fields (including massless high-spin fields) living on ($d+1$)-dimensional…

The existence of a minimal and fundamental length scale, say, the Planck length, is a characteristic feature of almost all the models of quantum gravity. The presence of the fundamental length is expected to lead to an improved ultra-violet…

Geometric models of quantum relativistic rotating oscillators in arbitrary dimensions are defined on backgrounds with deformed anti-de Sitter metrics. It is shown that these models are analytically solvable, deriving the formulas of the…

We discuss the symmetry aspects of quantum field theory in global four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime linked to $SO(1,4)$ isometries. For the unitary irreducible representations relevant to elementary particles, we obtain explicit…

In this short note, we verify explicitly in static coordinates that the non trivial asymptotic Killing vectors at spatial infinity for anti-de Sitter space-times correspond one to one to the conformal Killing vectors of the conformally flat…

The hypothesis of path integral duality provides a prescription to evaluate the propagator of a free, quantum scalar field in a given classical background, taking into account the existence of a fundamental length, say, the Planck length,…

We propose a new form of dimensional reduction that constrains dilatation instead of a component of momentum. It corresponds to replacing toroidal compactification in a Cartesian coordinate with that in the logarithm of the radius. Massive…

A propagator-based approach is investigated for Monte-Carlo (MC) modeling of neutral particles transport in fusion boundary plasmas. The propagator is essentially a Green function for the neutral kinetic equation, which depends on the…
