Algebraic quantum field theory is considered from the perspective of the Hochschild cohomology bicomplex. This is a framework for studying deformations and symmetries. Deformation is a possible approach to the fundamental challenge of…
Non-Hermitian systems having parity-time ($\mathcal {PT}$) symmetry can undergo a transition, spontaneously breaking the symmetry. Ultracold atomic gases provide an ideal platform to study interaction effects on the transition. We consider…
We exploit the geometrical superfield formalism to derive the local, covariant and continuous Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) symmetry transformations and the non-local, non-covariant and continuous dual-BRST symmetry transformations for…
The BRST-Antifield reformulation of the deformation problem is reviewed in a self-contained and heuristic way. The focus is on finding all consistent interaction terms for fields propagating on a Minkowskian D-dimensional spacetime.…
A novel perturbative analysis for the 2+1 local supercritical field theory of pomerons is developed. It is based on the PT symmetry of the model which allows to study a similar Hamiltonian with the same real perturbative spectrum. In the…
It is well known that typical PT-symmetric systems suffer symmetry breaking when the strength of the gain-loss terms exceeds a certain critical value. We present a summary of recently published and newly produced results which demonstrate…
We study the $T\bar T$ deformation using its formulation as a CFT coupled to two-dimensional dynamical gravity. Working within the BRST formalism, we apply the intertwiner construction of arXiv:2411.08865 to obtain a unitary "dressing" map…
Recently, much research has been carried out on Hamiltonians that are not Hermitian but are symmetric under space-time reflection, that is, Hamiltonians that exhibit PT symmetry. Investigations of the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem…
We construct new families of deformed supersymmetric field theories which break space-time symmetries but preserve half of the original supersymmetry. We do this by writing deformations as couplings to background multiplets. In many cases…
The constraints of $BF$ topological gauge theories are used to construct Hamiltonians which are anti-commutators of the BRST and anti-BRST operators. Such Hamiltonians are a signature of Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFT's). By…
A new kind of symmetry called partial PT symmetry has been considered for non-hermitian quadratic boson operators obtained from a bi-orthogonal set of vectors in C2. The symmetry behaviour has been understood in Fock space considered as a…
Within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we show the existence of (i) a couple of off-shell nilpotent (i.e. fermionic) BRST and co-BRST symmetry transformations, and (ii) a full set of non-nilpotent (i.e. bosonic)…
A new method to work out the Hermitian correspondence of a PT-symmetric quantum mechanical Hamiltonian is proposed. In contrast to the conventional method, the new method ends with a local Hamiltonian of the form p^2/2+m^2x^2/2+v(x) without…
Perturbative QFT is developed in terms of off-shell fields (that is, functionals on the configuration space not restricted by any field equation), and by quantizing the (underlying) free theory by an $\hbar$-dependent deformation of the…
Recently developed methods for PT-symmetric models can be applied to quantum-mechanical matrix and vector models. In matrix models, the calculation of all singlet wave functions can be reduced to the solution a one-dimensional PT-symmetric…
Supersymmetry between bosons and fermions is modeled within PT- symmetric quantum mechanics. A non-Hermitian alternative to the Witten's supersymmetric quantum mechanics is obtained.

We study the relationship between the equations of first order Lagrangian field theory on fiber bundles and the covariant Hamilton equations on the finite-dimensional polysymplectic phase space of covariant Hamiltonian field theory. The…
The quantum action principle of renormalisation theory is applied to the antibracket-antifield formalism for Hamiltonian systems. General results on the local BRST cohomology allow one to prove that the anomalies appear in the time…
