We use time-independent canonical transformation methods to discuss the energy eigenfunctions for the simple linear potential, pedagogically setting the stage for some field theory calculations to follow. We then discuss the Schr\"odinger…

We consider the quantum Lobachevsky space ${\bf L}_q^3$, which is defined as subalgebra of the Hopf algebra ${\cal A}_q(SL_2({\bf C}))$. The Iwasawa decomposition of ${\cal A}_q(SL_2({\bf C}))$ introduced by Podles and Woronowicz allows to…
We invistigate exact solutions for the two-dimensional quantum field theories called Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) models. A WZNW model is a sigma model whose classical fields are applications from a bidimensional space-time (a Riemann…
Using explicit results for the four-point correlation functions of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model we discuss the conformal embedding osp(4|4)_(1) = osp(2|2)_(-2) + su(2)_(0). This embedding has emerged in Bernard and LeClair's…
We consider an analogue of Witten's $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ action on three-dimensional QFTs with $U(1)$ symmetry for $2k$-dimensional QFTs with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ $(k-1)$-form symmetry. We show that the $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ action only closes up to a…

In this contribution we present the results of a series of investigations of dimensional reduction, applied to SU(3) gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions. We review earlier results, present a new reduced model with Z(3) symmetry, and discuss…
We investigate the phase space of a typical model of 1+1 dimensional gravity (Jackiw-Teitelboim model with cylindrical topology) using its reformulation as a non abelian gauge theory based on the sl(2,R) algebra. Modifying the conventional…
