In this paper we present a model of Riemannian loop quantum cosmology with a self-adjoint quantum scalar constraint. The physical Hilbert space is constructed using refined algebraic quantization. When matter is included in the form of a…
The relativistic spinning particle model, proposed in [3,4], is analyzed in a Hamiltonian framework. The spin is simulated by extending the configuration space by introducing a light-like four vector degree of freedom. The model is heavily…
In this paper we generalize the kinetic mixing idea to time reparametrization invariant theories, namely, relativistic point particles and cosmology in order to obtain new insights for dark matter and energy. In the first example, two…
We study equivariant localization formulas for phase space path integrals when the phase space is a multiply connected compact Riemann surface. We consider the Hamiltonian systems to which the localization formulas are applicable and show…

Having started with the general formulation of the quantum theory of the real scalar field (QFT) in the general Riemannian space--time $ V_{1,3} $, the general--covariant quasinonrelativistic quantum mechanics of a point-like spinless…
Recent work has argued that the concepts of entanglement and nonlocality must be taken seriously even in systems consisting of only a single particle. These treatments, however, are nonrelativistic and, if single particle entanglement is…
The purpose of this work is to explore the existence and properties of reproducing kernel Hilbert subspaces of $L^2(\C, \, d^2z/\pi)$ based on subsets of complex Hermite polynomials. The resulting coherent states (CS) form a family…
We review an attempt to set a suitable foundational principle for consistent quantization of gravity based on the canonical formulation. It requires extending the spacetime description of the relativistic postulates to also encompass an…

The problems which arise for a relativistic quantum mechanics are reviewed and critically examined in connection with the foundations of quantum field theory. The conflict between the quantum mechanical Hilbert space structure, the locality…
Spinning particle models can be used to describe higher spin fields in first quantization. In this paper we discuss how spinning particles with gauged O(N) supersymmetries on the worldline can be consistently coupled to conformally flat…
The properties which give quantum mechanics its unique character - unitarity, complementarity, non-commutativity, uncertainty, nonlocality - derive from the algebraic structure of Hermitian operators acting on the wavefunction in complex…
We have previously presented a version of the Weak Equivalence Principle for a quantum particle as an exact analog of the classical case, based on the Heisenberg picture analysis of free particle motion. Here, we take that to a full…
We consider the world-line quantisation of a system invariant under the symmetries of reciprocal relativity. Imposition of the first class constraint, the generator of local time reparametrisations, on physical states enforces…
In physics, one is often misled in thinking that the mathematical model of a system is part of or is that system itself. Think of expressions commonly used in physics like "point" particle, motion "on the line", "smooth" observables, wave…
There are constructed exact solutions of the quantum-mechanical equation for a spin S=1 particle in 2-dimensional Riemannian space of constant negative curvature, hyperbolic plane, in presence of an external magnetic field, analogue of the…
The hyperplane and proper time formalisms are discussed mainly for the spin-half particles in the quantum case. A connection between these covariant Hamiltonian formalisms is established. It is showed that choosing the space-like…
Using the approach to quantum entanglement based on the quantum fluctuations of observables, we show the existence of perfect entangled states of a single "spin-1" particle. We give physical examples related to the photons, condensed matter…
