We construct a Heisenberg-like algebra for the one dimensional quantum free Klein-Gordon equation defined on the interval of the real line of length $L$. Using the realization of the ladder operators of this type Heisenberg algebra in terms…
We discuss the problem of the quantization and dynamic evolution of a scalar free field in the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole. A unitary approach to the dynamics of the quantized field is proposed: a time-dependent Hamiltonian…
We provide a general scheme for dualizing higher-spin gauge fields in arbitrary irreducible representations of GL(D,R). We also give a recipe for constructing Fronsdal-like field equations and Lagrangians for such exotic fields.
The great innovation of the Generalized Theorem is that it gives us the philosophy to work out the knowledge that the number of roots of an equation depends on the subfields of the functional terms of the equation they generate. Thus, the…
We generalize the well-known analogies between m^2 \phi^2 and R + R^2 theories to include the selfinteraction \lambda \phi^4-term for the scalar field. It turns out to be the R + R^3 Lagrangian which gives an appropriate model for it.…
Segal's hypothesis that physical theories drift toward simple groups follows from a general quantum principle and suggests a general quantization process. I general-quantize the scalar meson field in Minkowski space-time to illustrate the…
While the notion of open quantum systems is itself old, most of the existing studies deal with quantum mechanical systems rather than quantum field theories. After a brief review of field theoretical/path integral tools currently available…
We show that the Bianchi I Einstein field equations in a perfect fluid scalar field cosmology are equivalent to a linear Schrodinger equation. This is achieved through a special case of the recent FLRW Schrodinger-type formulation, and…
In Quantum Field Theory, scattering amplitudes are computed from propagators which, for internal lines, are built upon spin/polarization-sum relationships. In turn, these are normally constructed upon plane-wave solutions of the free field…
We study quantization of a self-interacting scalar field within the unfolded dynamics approach. To this end we find and analyze a classical unfolded system describing 4d off-shell scalar field with a general self-interaction potential. Then…
Stationary distributions of complex Langevin equations are shown to be the complexified path integral solutions of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of the associated quantum field theory. Specific examples in zero dimensions and on a lattice…
The Dirac equation for massive free electrically neutral spin 1/2 particles in a gravitation field is considered. The secondary quantization procedure is applied to it and the Hilbert space of multiparticle quantum states is constructed.
The classical field equations of general relativity can be expressed as a single geodesic equation, describing the free fall of a point particle in superspace. Based on this formulation, a ``worldline'' quantization of gravity, analogous to…
We revisit the problem of relaxation in scalar gravitational field theory proposing a novel numerical solution to the problem.
Spontaneous scalarization is an interesting mechanism for modification of gravity by nonminimal coupling of a scalar field to matter or curvature invariants in the context of scalar-tensor theories, and its onset is signaled by linear…
We re-examine the quantization of a class of non-polynomial scalar field theories which interpolates continuously from a free one to $\phi^4$ theory. The quantization of such theories is problematic because the Feynman rules may not be…
The paper studies existence of solutions for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a general bounded external magnetic field. In particular, no lattice periodicity of the magnetic field or presence of external electric field is…
We propose a method for numerical relativity in which the spatial grid is finite and no outer boundary condition is needed. As a "proof of concept" we implement this method for the case of a self-gravitating, spherically symmetric scalar…
Present day quantum field theory (QFT) is founded on canonical quantization, which has served quite well, but also has led to several issues. The free field describing a free particle (with no interaction term) can suddenly become…
A field-enlarging transformation in the chiral electrodynamics is performed. This introduces an additional gauge symmetry to the model that is unitary and anomaly-free and allows for comparison of different models discussed in the…
