The aim of this paper is to formulate and analyze numerical discretizations of charged-particle dynamics (CPD) in a strong nonuniform magnetic field. A strategy is firstly performed for the two dimensional CPD to construct the…
We construct the worldline superfield massive superparticle actions which preserve 1/4 portion of the underlying higher-dimensional supersymmetry. The rest of supersymmetry is spontaneously broken and realized by nonlinear transformations.…
Recently, it was suggested that a large class of non-renormalizable theories may need no UV completion. By analogy with gravity where classical black holes are expected to be created in high-energy scatterings, it is conjectured that…

We consider a class of interacting particle systems with values in $[0,\8)^{\zd}$, of which the binary contact path process is an example. For $d \ge 3$ and under a certain square integrability condition on the total number of the…
We define a deterministic integral with respect to irregular paths as a limit of standard line integrals and completely describe a class of all paths for which this integral exists for functions with H\"older exponent in the range of (0,1].…
Motivated by the fact that both the classical and quantum description of nature rest on causality and a variational principle, we develop a novel and highly versatile discretization prescription for classical initial value problems (IVPs).…

Systems with constraints pose problems when they are quantized. Moreover, the Dirac procedure of quantization prior to reduction is preferred. The projection operator method of quantization, which can be most conveniently described by…
Path integrals represent a powerful route to quantization: they calculate probabilities by summing over classical configurations of variables such as fields, assigning each configuration a phase equal to the action of that configuration.…
