We study a structure of holomorphic quantum contributions to the effective action for ${\cal N}={1/2}$ noncommutative Wess-Zumino model. Using the symbol operator techniques we present the one-loop chiral effective potential in a form of…

The bilocal effective action is developed as a viable tool to study mesons in the large-N limit of QCD. Several results from current algebra are derived in a new way using this action. The question of gauge invariance is discussed in an…
The conformal anomaly in curved spacetime with antisymmetric torsion is reconsidered, taking into account new important details. We formulate, for the first time, the covariant solution of the anomaly-induced effective action. The covariant…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of a class of linear non-local measure-valued differential equations with time delay. Our main result states that the solutions asymptotically exhibit a parabolic like behaviour in the large…

Nonlocality is a defining feature of quantum mechanics and has long served as a key indicator of quantum resources since the formulation of Bell's inequalities. Identifying the contribution of nonlocality to extractable work remains a…

We use different methods to calculate the imaginary part of the gravitational effective action due to a massless scalar field, with a view on perturbative vs. non-pertubative and the results of ArXiv:2305.18521.
We show that the action of a dynamical system can be supplemented by an effective action for its environment to reproduce arbitrary coordinate dependent ohmic dissipation and gyroscopic forces. The action is a generalization of the harmonic…
We explicitly compute the local invariants (heat kernel coefficients) of a conformally deformed non-commutative $d$-torus using multiple operator integrals. We derive a recursive formula that easily produces an explicit expression for the…
The one--loop effective action for the case of a massive scalar loop in the background of both a scalar potential and an abelian or non--abelian gauge field is written in a one--dimensional path integral representation. From this the…
This paper aims to study the asymptotic behaviour of the fundamental solutions (heat kernels) of non-local (partial and pseudo differential) equations with fractional operators in time and space. In particular, we obtain exact asymptotic…
Thermal correlation functions and the associated effective statistical potential are computed in two- and three-dimensional non-commutative space using an operator formulation that makes no reference to a star product. The corresponding…
