The Hamiltonian constraint operator in Loop Quantum Gravity acts ultralocally. Smolin has argued that this ultralocality seems incompatible with the existence of a quantum dynamics which propagates perturbations between macroscopically…
We propose a modification of a recently introduced generalized translation operator, by including a $q$-exponential factor, which implies in the definition of a Hermitian deformed linear momentum operator $\hat{p}_q$, and its canonically…
We present a continuum operator map that inverts the role of particles and antiparticles in three dimensional QED. This is accomplished by the attachment of specific holomorphic Wilson lines to Dirac fermions. We show that this nonlocal map…
Well defined quantum field theory (QFT) for the electroweak force including quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the weak force is obtained by considering natural unitary representations of a group $K\subset U(2,2)$, where $K$ is locally…
The microscopic spectral density of the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator is computed numerically in quenched lattice QCD. We demonstrate that the results given for fixed index of the Wilson-Dirac operator can be matched by the predictions…
In this paper, building on a previous analysis [1] of exact diagonalization of the space-discretized evolution operator for the study of properties of non-relativistic quantum systems, we present a substantial improvement to this method. We…
A particular initial state for the construction of a perturbative QCD expansion is investigated. It is formed as a coherent superposition of zero momentum gluon pairs and shows Lorentz as well as global $SU(3)$ symmetries. The general form…
We take up the idea of Nelson's stochastic processes, the aim of which was to deduce Schr\"odinger's equation. We make two major changes here. The first one is to consider deterministic processes which are pseudo-random but which have the…
We derive exact formulas for circular Wilson loops in the $\mathcal{N}=4$ and $\mathcal{N}=2^{* }$ theories with gauge groups $U(N)$ and $SU(N)$ in the $k$-fold symmetrized product representation. The formulas apply in the limit of large…
Open quantum systems that interact with a Markovian environment can be described by a Lindblad master equation. The generator of time-translation is given by a Liouvillian superoperator $\mathcal{L}$ acting on the density matrix of the…
Density operators are one of the key ingredients of quantum theory. They can be constructed in two ways: via a convex sum of `doubled kets' (i.e. mixing), and by tracing out part of a `doubled' two-system ket (i.e. dilation). Both…

We study second order perturbation theory for embedded eigenvalues of an abstract class of self-adjoint operators. Using an extension of the Mourre theory, under assumptions on the regularity of bound states with respect to a conjugate…
In the spirit of classic works of Wilson on the renormalization group and operator product expansion, a new framework for the study of the theory space of euclidean quantum field theories has been introduced. This formalism is particularly…
The conformal algebra provides powerful constraints, which guarantee that renormalized conformally covariant operators exist in the hypothetical conformal limit of the theory, where the $\beta$-function vanishes. Thus, in this limit also…
We study a generalized version of the Hamiltonian constraint operator in nonperturbative loop quantum gravity. The generalization is based on admitting arbitrary irreducible SU(2) representations in the regularization of the operator, in…
The correlation functions of open Wilson line operators in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the noncommutative torus are computed exactly. The correlators are expressed in two equivalent forms. An instanton expansion involves only…
In this paper, we provide a representation theory for the Feynman operator calculus. This allows us to solve the general initial-value problem and construct the Dyson series. We show that the series is asymptotic, thus proving Dyson's…
We compute the simplest non-trivial Operator Product Expansion of Wilson-'t Hooft loop operators in N=4 and N=2 Super-Yang-Mills theory with gauge group G=PSU(3). This amounts to finding the Euler characters of certain vector bundles,…
A result from Dodd and Gibbs[1] for the second virial coefficient of particles in 1 dimension, subject to delta-function interactions, has been obtained by direct integration of the wave functions. It is shown that this result can be…
