We investigate the existence, normalization and explicit construction of edge zero modes in topologically ordered spin chains. In particular we give a detailed treatment of zero modes in a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ generalization of the Ising/Kitaev…
Recent results on zero modes of the Abelian Dirac operator in three dimensions support to some degree the conjecture that the Chern-Simons action admits only certain quantized values for gauge fields that lead to zero modes of the…
We study Lagrangian systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom that are non-local in time. We obtain an extension of Noether theorem and Noether identities to this kind of Lagrangians. A Hamiltonian formalism is then set up for this…
We study a conformally invariant equation involving the Dirac operator and a non-linearity of convolution type. This non-linearity is inspired from the conformal Einstein-Dirac problem in dimension 4. We first investigate the compactness,…
The combination of two-dimensional Dirac surface states with s-wave superconductivity is expected to generate localized topological Majorana zero modes in vortex cores. Putative experimental signatures of these modes have been reported for…
Space-time non-commutative theories are non-local in time. We develop the Hamiltonian formalism for non-local field theories in d space-time dimensions by considering auxiliary d+1 dimensional field theories which are local with respect to…
In this paper we analyze the conditions when the Einstein equations with cosmological constant and matter describe (2+1)-dimensional generic locally anisotropic (la) spacetimes of generalized Finsler type. New classes of solutions for such…
It is shown that the local axial anomaly in $2-$dimensions emerges naturally if one postulates an underlying noncommutative fuzzy structure of spacetime . In particular the Dirac-Ginsparg-Wilson relation on ${\bf S}^2_F$ is shown to contain…
We apply the nonlinear realizations method for constructing new Galilean conformal mechanics models. Our starting point is the Galilean conformal algebra which is a non-relativistic contraction of its relativistic counterpart. We calculate…
This work revolves around properties and applications of functions whose nonlocal gradient, or more precisely, finite-horizon fractional gradient, vanishes. Surprisingly, in contrast to the classical local theory, we show that this class…
According to the Hamiltonian formalism, nonrelativistic phase space may be considered as an arena of physics, with momentum and position treated as independent variables. Invariance of x^2+p^2 constitutes then a natural generalization of…
In this talk we review some recent results from random matrix models as applied to some non-perturbative issues in QCD. All of the issues we will discuss touched upon the important phenomenon related to the spontaneous breaking of chiral…
Following a recent proposal for integrable theories in higher dimensions based on zero curvature, new Lorentz invariant submodels of the principal chiral model in 2+1 dimensions are found. They have infinite local conserved currents, which…
We introduce and analyze the nonlocal variants of two Cahn-Hilliard type equations with reaction terms. The first one is the so-called Cahn-Hilliard-Oono equation which models, for instance, pattern formation in diblock-copolymers as well…
A class of nonlocal Lorentzian quantum field theories is introduced in arXiv:1502.01655 and arXiv:1411.6513, where the d'Alembertian operator $\Box$ is replaced by a non-analytic function of the d'Alembertian, $f(\Box)$. This is inspired by…
Within the framework of quantum mechanics working with one-dimensional, manifestly non-Hermitian Hamiltonians $H=T+V$ the traditional class of the exactly solvable models with local point interactions $V=V(x)$ is generalized. The…
Robust zero modes supported by defects is one of the key features of topological matter. Its presence renders a system topologically inhomegeneuous, thus having no well-defined global topological invariant. The quantities labeling different…

Eigenfunctions for normal modes of scalar fields in BTZ black hole spacetime are studied. Orthonormal relations among them are derived. Quantization for scalar fields is done and particle number, energy and angular momentum are expressed by…
In this chapter we present a status report of black hole-like solutions in non-local theories of gravity in which the Lagrangians are at least quadratic in curvature and contain specific non-polynomial (i.e., non-local) operators. In the…
