We prove new identities between the values of Rogers dilogarithm function and describe a connection between these identities and spectra in conformal field theory.

The deformation quantization formalism is applied to the linearized gravitational field. Standard aspects of this formalism are worked out before the ground state Wigner functional is obtained. Finally, the propagator for the graviton is…

We discuss here the possibility to write the Liouville-Vlasov equation for the Wigner-function of a spinor field coupled to a gauge field with field strength tensor $F^{\mu\nu}$ in a curved space-time versus a local Lorentz manifold…

In the literature various notions of nonlocal curvature can be found. Here we propose a notion of nonlocal curvature tensor. This we do by generalizing an appropriate representation of the classical curvature tensor and by exploiting some…

This is the last in a series of papers where we prove a conjecture of Deser and Schwimmer regarding the algebraic structure of ``global conformal invariants''; these are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars.…

We revisit the gauge symmetry related to integrable projective transformations in metric-affine formalism, identifying the gauge field of the Weyl (conformal) symmetry as a dynamical component of the affine connection. In particular, we…

This work concerns maps of commutative noetherian local rings containing a field of positive characteristic. Given such a map $\varphi$ of finite flat dimension, the results relate homological properties of the relative Frobenius of…

This is an extensive survey of the techniques used to formulate generalizations of the Mittag-Leffler Theorem from complex analysis. With the techniques of the theory of differential forms, sheaves and cohomology, we are able to define the…

The local Callan-Symanzik equation describes the response of a quantum field theory to local scale transformations in the presence of background sources. The consistency conditions associated with this anomalous equation imply non-trivial…

This article is a survey of results involving conformal deformation of Riemannian metrics and fully nonlinear equations.

A new conformal field theory description of two-dimensional turbulence is proposed. The recently established class of rational logarithmic conformal field theories provides a unique candidate solution which resolves many of the drawbacks of…

The paper aims to initiate a systematic study of conformal mappings between Finsler spacetimes and, more generally, between pseudo-Finsler spaces. This is done by extending several results in pseudo-Riemannian geometry which are necessary…

This is a review of two-dimensional conformal field theory including some of the relations to integrable models. An effort is made to develop the basic formalism in a way which is as elementary and flexible as possible at the same time.…

We derive the basic correlation functions of twist fields coming from arbitrary twisted sectors in symmetric $Z_N$ orbifold conformal field theories, keeping all the admissible marginal perturbations, in particular those corresponding to…

The local limit of a quantum field theory on the loop space is studied. It is proved that the invariance of the theory with respect to the group of diffeomorphisms leads to Feynman diagrams convergence in the local limit.

We present the correspondence between Lax integrable systems with spectral parameter on a Riemann surface, and Conformal Field Theories, in quite general set-up suggested earlier by the author. This correspondence turns out to give a…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $\mathcal{D}(R)$ denote the derived category of $R$-modules. We investigate the theory of local homology in conjunction with Gorenstein flat modules. Let $X$ be a…

A general form of contractive idempotent functionals on coamenable locally compact quantum groups is obtained, generalising the result of Greenleaf on contractive measures on locally compact groups. The image of a convolution operator…

This paper surveys some selected topics in the theory of conformal metrics and their connections to complex analysis, partial differential equations and conformal differential geometry.

I give a brief introduction to the relation between loop quantum gravity and twistor theory, and comment on some perspectives on the problem of time.
