The anomaly of a quantum field theory is an expression of its projective nature. This starting point quickly leads to its manifestation as a special kind of field theory: a once-categorified invertible theory. We arrive at this statement…

In this paper we analyze perturbatively a g phi^4 classical field theory with and without temperature. In order to do that, we make use of a path-integral approach developed some time ago for classical theories. It turns out that the…

We argue that, ideally, the ways to measure magnitudes in non-quantum theories of physics (spacetime, field theory), limit drastically their possible mathematical models. In particular, gauge invariance in the Yang-Mills framework, is a…
