We discuss a novel form of the variational approach in Quantum Field Theory in which the trial quantum configuration is represented directly in terms of relevant expectation values rather than, e.g., increasingly complicated structure from…
In recent works by Singer, Douglas and Gopakumar and Gross an application of results of Voiculescu from non-commutative probability theory to constructions of the master field for large $N$ matrix field theories have been suggested. In this…
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) developed in Rindler space-time and its thermal properties are analyzed by means of quantum groups approach. The quantum deformation parameter, labelling the unitarily inequivalent representations, turns out to be…
Several two-dimensional quantum field theory models have more than one vacuum state. Familiar examples are the Sine-Gordon and the $\phi^4_2$-model. It is known that in these models there are also states, called kink states, which…
We review briefly the motivations for introducing additional group-theoretic data in tensor models, leading to the richer framework of group field theories, themselves a field theory formulation of loop quantum gravity. We discuss how these…
The algebraic formulation of the quantum group covariant noncommutative geometry in the framework of the $R$-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is given. We consider structure groups taking values in the quantum groups and…
We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…
We analyse in detail the quantization of a simple noncommutative model of spontaneous symmetry breaking in zero dimensions taking into account the noncommutative setting seriously. The connection to the counting argument of Feyman diagrams…
We consider a twisted version of quantum groups corepresentations. This generalization amounts to include in the theory the case where quantum space coordinates and its endomorphism matrix entries belong to a non-commutative quadratic…
It is natural to consider a quantum system in the continuum limit of space-time configuration. Incorporating also, Einstein's special relativity, leads to the quantum theory of fields. Non-relativistic quantum mechanics and classical…
In the present paper we propose a new approach to quantum fields in terms of category algebras and states on categories. We define quantum fields and their states as category algebras and states on causal categories with partial involution…
We construct representations of the quantum algebras ~$U_{q{\bf q}}(gl(n))$ and ~$U_{q{\bf q}}(sl(n))$~ which are in duality with the multiparameter quantum groups ~$GL_{q{\bf q}}(n)$, ~$SL_{q{\bf q}}(n)$,~ respectively. These objects…
We outline the recent classification of differential structures for all main classes of quantum groups. We also outline the algebraic notion of `quantum manifold' and `quantum Riemannian manifold' based on quantum group principal bundles, a…
The 2-dimensional space-time sine-Gordon field theory is extended algebraically within the n-dimensional space of extended complex numbers. This field theory is constructed in terms of an adapted extension of standard vertex operators. A…
We consider isomorphisms and automorphisms of quantum groups. Let $k$ be a field and suppose $p, q\in k^*$ are not roots of unity. We prove that the two quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak {sl}_2)$ and $U_p(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ over a field $k$ are…
The main result of this work is to present the complete list of Uq(sl2)-symmetries of quantum plane. For that, the structure of quantum plane automorphisms is used. Our idea in classifying the above symmetries is in introducing some special…
Quantum groups and quantum homogeneous spaces - developed by several authors since the 80's - provide a large class of examples of algebras which for many reasons we interpret as `coordinate algebras' over noncommutative spaces. This…
A sketch is given of a circle of ideas relating quantum field theories with representation theory. The main mathematical ingredients are spinor geometry and the gauge group equivariant K-theory of the space of connections.
When the symmetry of a physical theory describing a finite system is deformed by replacing its Lie group by the corresponding quantum group, the operators and state function will lie in a new algebra describing new degrees of freedom. If…
These are introductory notes on symmetries in quantum field theory and how they apply to particle physics. The notes cover the fundamentals of group theory, their representations, Lie groups, and Lie algebras, along with an elaborate…
