It is known that there is a proportionality factor relating the $\beta$-function and the equations of motion viz. the Zamolodchikov metric. Usually this factor has to be obtained by other methods. The proper time equation, on the other…
We study the quantum properties of an oscillator in proper time. This proper time oscillator is a particle model with mass that is on shell. Its internal time can be treated as a self-adjoint operator. The displaced time and displaced time…
We introduce a `proper time' formalism to study the instability of the vacuum in a uniform external electric field due to particle production. This formalism allows us to reduce a quantum field theoretical problem to a quantum-mechanical…
The paper is devoted to the description a measurable time-interval (``proper time'') in the Hamiltonian version of general relativity with the Dirac-ADM metric. To separate the dynamical parameter of evolution from the space metric we use…
The paper introduces a method to solve inverse problems for hyperbolic systems where the leading order terms are non-linear. We apply the method to the coupled Einstein-scalar field equations and study the question whether the structure of…
An exact solution for the field of a charge in a uniformly accelerated noninertial frame of reference (NFR) alongside the "Equivalent Situation Postulate" allows one to find space-time structure as well as fields from arbitrarily shaped…
The definition of invariant time is fundamental to relativistic symmetry. Invariant time may be formulated as a degenerate orthogonal metric on a flat phase space with time, position, energy and momentum degrees of freedom that is also…
In the present paper, we consider a non self adjoint hyperbolic operator with a vector field and an electric potential that depend not only on the space variable but also on the time variable. More precisely, we attempt to stably and…
An exact renormalization group equation is written down for the world sheet theory describing the bosonic open string in general backgrounds. Loop variable techniques are used to make the equation gauge invariant. This is worked out…
The tensionless limit of the free bosonic string is space-time conformally symmetric classically. Requiring invariance of the quantum theory in the light cone gauge tests the reparametrization symmetry needed to fix this gauge. The full…
We provide existence and uniqueness of renomalized solutions to a general nonlinear parabolic equation with merely integrable data on a Lipschitz bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Namely we study \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l }…
The study considers advantages of the introduced measure of time based on the entropy change under irreversible processes (entropy production). Using the example of non-equilibrium expansion of an ideal gas in vacuum, such a measure is…
We consider the inverse problem of determining the time dependent magnetic field of the Schr\"odinger equation in a bounded open subset of $R^n$, with $n \geq 1$, from a finite number of Neumann data, when the boundary measurement is taken…
We consider inverse problems for the Einstein equation with a time-depending metric on a 4-dimensional globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold $(M,g)$. We formulate the concept of active measurements for relativistic models. We do this by…
For causal graphs we propose a definition of proper time which for small scales is based on the concept of volume, while for large scales the usual definition of length is applied. The scale where the change from "volume" to "length" occurs…
The renormalization group flow equation obtained by means of a proper time regulator is used to calculate the two loop beta function and anomalous dimension eta of the field for the O(N) symmetric scalar theory. The standard perturbative…
The Effective One-Body formalism of the gravitational two-body problem in general relativity is reconsidered in the light of recent scattering amplitude calculations. Based on the kinematic relationship between momenta and the effective…
This work discloses some inconsistencies of quantum mechanics (QM) in two different contexts. On the one hand the equivalence principle in his two formulations is the starting point of all gravitational theories; yet there is no way to make…
Building on our previous work, we investigate the identification of the electromagnetic field as a local gauge field of a restricted group of synchrony transformations. We begin by arguing that the inability to measure the one-way speed of…
