Supersymmetry is an algebraic property of a quantum Hamiltonian that, by giving every boson a fermionic superpartner and vice versa, may underpin physics beyond the Standard Model. Fractional bosonic and fermionic quasiparticles are…
Some symmetries can be broken in the quantization process (anomalies) and this breaking is signalled by a non-invariance of the quantum path integral measure. In this talk we show that it is possible to formulate also classical field…
In this paper, we introduce the paths space $\mathcal C_0^{\mathrm{gBm}}$ which is consists of generalized Brownian motion path-valued continuous functions on $[0,T]$. We next present several relevant examples of the paths space integral.…
The one-sided bouncer and the symmetric bouncer involve a one-dimensional particle in a piecewise linear potential. For such problems, the time-dependent quantum mechanical propagator cannot be found in closed form. The semiclassical…
We build up the anticommutator algebra for the fermionic coordinates of open superstrings attached to branes with antisymmetric tensor fields. We use both Dirac quantization and the symplectic Faddeev Jackiw approach. In the symplectic case…
The quantum mechanically admissible definitions of the factor $\exp\big[(i/\hbar)S(\gamma)\big]$ in the Feynman integral are put in bijection with the prequantisations of Kostant and Souriau. The different allowed expressions of this factor…
The Arnold conjecture yields a lower bound to the number of periodic classical trajectories in a Hamiltonian system. Here we count these trajectories with the help of a path integral, which we inspect using properties of the spectral flow…

The Feynman path integral is defined over the space $\mathbb{R}^T$ of all possible paths; it has been a powerful tool to develop Quantum Mechanics. The absolute value of Feynman's integrand is not integrable, then Lebesgue integration…
We develop covariant fermionic fields of space-like particles. As an application of the formalism we discuss the example of superluminous tachyons with imaginary rest mass and spin 1/2 forming fermionic ensembles that is relativistically…
Barrier crossing is a widespread phenomenon across natural and engineering systems. While an abundant cross-disciplinary literature on the topic has emerged over the years, the stochastic underpinnings of the process are yet to be linked…
Topological invariants and their associated anomalies have played a crucial role in understanding low-energy phenomena in quantum field theories. In lattice gauge theory, the standard $\mathbb{Z}$-valued Atiyah-Singer index is formulated…
The resolvent of supersymmetric Dirac Hamiltonian is studied in detail. Due to supersymmetry the squared Dirac Hamiltonian becomes block-diagonal whose elements are in essence non-relativistic Schr\"odinger-type Hamiltonians. This enables…
We derive a formalism to express the spin algebra $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ in a spin $s$ representation in terms of the algebra of $L$ fermionic operators that obey the Canonical Anti-commutation Relations. We also give the reverse direction of…
We study the ground states of lattice Hamiltonians that are invariant under permutations, in the limit where the number of lattice sites, N -> \infty. For spin systems, these are product states, a fact that follows directly from the quantum…
We construct path integral representations for the evolution operator of q-oscillators with root of unity values of q-parameter using Bargmann-Fock representations with commuting and non-commuting variables, the differential calculi being…
This case study proposes robustness quantifications of many classical sample path properties of Brownian motion in terms of the (mean) deviation frequencies along typical a.s.~approximations. This includes L\'evy's construction of Brownian…
A general quantum-mechanical setting is proposed for the field-antifield formalism as a unique hyper-gauge theory in the field-antifield space. We formulate a Schr\"odinger-type equation to describe the quantum evolution in a "current time"…
For a non-zero parameter $q$, we define Hermite trace polynomials, which are multivariate polynomials indexed by permutations. We prove several combinatorial properties for them, such as expansions and product formulas. The linear…
Scalar field systems containing higher derivatives are studied and quantized by Hamiltonian path integral formalism. A new point to previous quantization methods is that field functions and their derivatives with time are considered as…
