The principles of a previously developed formalism for the covariant treatment of multi-scalar fields for which (as in a nonlinear sigma model) the relevant target space is not of affine type -- but curved -- are recapitulated. Their…
We propose a scalar-tensor representation of $f(R)$ theories with use of conformal transformations. In this representation, the model takes the form of the Brans-Dicke model with a potential function and a non-zero kinetic term for the…
The $sp(2M)$ invariant unfolded system is considered in the periodic twistor-like spinor space. Complete set of non-trivial charges corresponding to the global symmetry compatible with the periodicity conditions is constructed. Residual…
We revise the use of 8-dimensional conformal, complex (Cartan) domains as a base for the construction of conformally invariant quantum (field) theory, either as phase or configuration spaces. We follow a gauge-invariant Lagrangian approach…
After a brief review of recent rigorous results concerning the representation theory of rational chiral conformal field theories (RCQFTs) we focus on pairs (A,F) of conformal field theories, where F has a finite group G of global symmetries…
We propose a new inner product for scalar fields that are solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation with $m^2<0$. This inner product is non-local, bearing an integral kernel including Bessel functions of the second kind, and the associated…
Let V be a vector space of dimension n over a field K and let Symm(V) denote the space of symmetric bilinear forms defined on V x V. Let M be a subspace of Symm(V). We investigate a variety of hypotheses concerning the rank of elements in M…
General classical theories of material fields in an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan space are considered. For these theories, with the help of equations of balance, new non-trivially generalized, manifestly generally covariant expressions for…
We review the coset construction of conformal field theories; the emphasis is on the construction of the Hilbert spaces for these models, especially if fixed points occur. This is applied to the $N=2$ superconformal cosets constructed by…
The construction of field theories with space-time symmetries, including tensorial charges (i.e. of M-theory type), initiated in hep-th/9907011, is extended to include interaction. For SO(2,2) gravity in a tensorial space-time, with…
Using unfolded formulation of free equations for massless fields of all spins we obtain explicit form of higher-spin conformal conserved charges bilinear in 4d massless fields of arbitrary spins.
Spectral measures provide invariants for braided subfactors via fusion modules. In this paper we study joint spectral measures associated to the compact connected rank two Lie group $SO(5)$ and its double cover the compact connected,…
The Superspinorial Dual-covariant Field Theory (SSFT) developed in papers [1, 2] is treated in terms of Riemannian coordinates (RC) [7, 8] in space of the N dimensions unified manifold (UM). Metric tensor of UM (grand metric, GM) is built…
We show that the rank decomposition of a real matrix $r$, which is a $Spin(3,1)$ tensor, leads to $2k$ Majorana bispinors, where $k= rank\: r$. The Majorana bispinors are determined up to local $GL(k, \mathbb{R})$ transformations. The…
We generalize, to any space-time dimension, the unitarity bounds of highest weight UIR's of the conformal groups with Lie algebras $so(2,d)$. We classify gauge theories invariant under $so(2,d)$, both integral and half-integral spins. A…
We find conditions such that cup products induce isomorphisms in low degrees for extensions between stable polynomial representations of the general linear group. We apply this result to prove generalizations and variants of the Steinberg…

We investigate scalar and spinor field theories in a constant magnetic field at finite temperature and chemical potential. In an external constant magnetic field the exact solution of the two-point Green functions are obtained by using the…
