A path-integral quantization method is proposed for dynamical systems whose classical equations of motion do \textit{not} necessarily follow from the action principle. The key new notion behind this quantization scheme is the Lagrange…
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold equipped with a conformal structure, $E[w]$ the space of densities with the the conformal weight $w$ and $D_{w,w+\de}$ the space of differential operators from $E[w]$ to $E[w+\delta]$. Conformal quantization $Q$…
We describe a set of methods to calculate gauge theory renormalization constants from string theory, all based on a consistent prescription to continue off shell open bosonic string amplitudes. We prove the consistency of our prescription…
In this paper we consider Witten's bosonic open string field theory in the presence of a constant background of the second-rank antisymmetric tensor field $B_{ij}$. We extend the operator formulation of Gross and Jevicki in this situation…
One-loop quantities in QFT can be computed in an efficient way using the worldline formalism. The latter rests on the ability of calculating 1D path integrals on the circle. In this paper we give a systematic discussion for treating zero…
Quantization of coordinates leads to the non-commutative product of deformation quantization, but is also at the roots of string theory, for which space-time coordinates become the dynamical fields of a two-dimensional conformal quantum…
We investigate the dynamics of an arbitrary Dirichlet (D-) string in presence of general curved backgrounds following a path-integral formalism. In particular, we consider the interaction of D-string with the massless excitations of closed…
{}From the ordinary tensile string we derive a geometric action for the tensionless ($T=0$) string and discuss its symmetries and field equations. The Weyl symmetry of the usual string is shown to be replaced by a global space-time…
We present a list of formulae useful for Weyl-Heisenberg integral quantizations, with arbitrary weight, of functions or distributions on the plane. Most of these formulae are known, others are original. The list encompasses particular cases…
The Liouville action emerges as the effective action of 2-d gravity in the process of path integral quantization of the bosonic string. It yields a measure of the violation of classical symmetries of the theory at the quantum level. Certain…
A method of constructing a canonical gauge invariant quantum formulation for a non-gauge classical theory depending on a set of parameters is advanced and then applied to the theory of closed bosonic string interacting with massive…
It is rather well-known that spacetime singularities are not covariant under field redefinitions. A manifestly covariant approach to singularities in classical gravity was proposed in arXiv:2008.09387. In this paper, we start to extend this…
The string quantum kernel is normally written as a functional sum over the string coordinates and the world--sheet metrics. As an alternative to this quantum field--inspired approach, we study the closed bosonic string propagation amplitude…
We study the $N=2$ string with a real structure on the $(2,2)$ spacetime, using BRST methods. Several new features emerge. In the diagonal basis, the operator $\exp(\lambda \int^z J^{\rm tot})$, which is associated with the moduli for the…
In this paper the relativistic quantum mechanics is considered in the framework of the nonstandard synchronization scheme for clocks. Such a synchronization preserves Poincar{\'e} covariance but (at least formally) distinguishes an inertial…
We propose a discrete path integral formalism over graphs fundamental to quantum mechanics (QM) based on our interpretation of QM called Relational Blockworld (RBW). In our approach, the transition amplitude is not viewed as a sum over all…
We corroborate the previously applied spectral approach to compute the vacuum polarization energy of string configurations in models similar to the standard model of particle physics. The central observation underlying this corroboration is…
We analyse the classical symmetries of bosonic D-string actions and generalizations thereof. Among others, we show that the simplest actions of this type have infinitely many nontrivial rigid symmetries which act nontrivially and…
