Presented is a quantum computing model of a quantum field theory for a system of fermions interacting via a massive gauge field. The model describes a relativistic superconducting fluid and uses a metric tensor field to both encode the…
We introduce a geometric construction of a gauge field theory of a complex adaptive system. It is based on a suitable simplicial formulation of a discrete geometry that manifests relevant properties valid in the classical differentiable…
The Berry curvature is a geometrical property of an energy band which can act as a momentum space magnetic field in the effective Hamiltonian of a wide range of systems. We apply the effective Hamiltonian to a spin-1/2 particle in two…
We explain how multiplicative bundle gerbes over a compact, connected and simple Lie group $G$ lead to a certain fusion category of equivariant bundle gerbe modules given by pre-quantizable Hamiltonian $LG$-manifolds arising from…
We construct a cubic field theory which provides all genus amplitudes of the topological A-model for all non-compact Calabi-Yau toric threefolds. The topology of a given Feynman diagram encodes the topology of a fixed Calabi-Yau, with…
We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension…
We use bundle gerbes and their connections and curvings to obtain an explicit formula for a de Rham representative of the string class of a loop group bundle. This is related to earlier work on calorons.
While the equations of general relativity take the same form in any coordinate system, choosing a suitable set of coordinates is essential in any practical application. This poses a challenge in background-independent quantum gravity, where…
We present a geometric construction of a lattice that emulates the action of a gauge field on a fermion. The construction consists of a square lattice made of polymeric sites, where all clustered atoms are identical and represented by…
We present for the first time a Friedmann-like construction in the framework of an osculating Finsler-Randers-Sasaki geometry. In particular, we consider a vector field in the metric on a Lorentz tangent bundle, and thus the curvatures of…
A manifestly covariant formulation of quantum field Maslov complex-WKB theory (semiclassical field theory) is investigated for the case of scalar field. The main object of the theory is "semiclassical bundle". Its base is the set of all…

A new formalism for spinors on curved spaces is developed in the framework of variational calculus on fibre bundles. The theory has the same structure of a gauge theory and describes the interaction between the gravitational field and…
We use the mathematical structure of group algebras and $H^{+}$-algebras for describing certain problems concerning the quantum dynamics of systems of angular momenta, including also the spin systems. The underlying groups are ${\rm SU}(2)$…
The natural representation of the quantized affine algebra of type A can be defined via the deformed Fock space by Misra and Miwa. This relates the classes of Weyl modules for a type A quantum group at a root of unity to the action of the…
We construct twisting functors for quantum group modules. First over the field $\mathbb{Q}(v)$ but later over any $\mathbb{Z} [v,v^{-1}]$-algebra. The main results in this paper are a rigerous definition of these functors, a proof that they…
In this paper we will analyse some interesting structures that occur in scalar quantum field theory. We will quantize this theory using path integrals. We will analyse the Bogomolny Bound for scalar quantum field theory in two dimensions.…
This paper further develops the combinatorial approach to quantization of the Hamiltonian Chern Simons theory advertised in \cite{AGS}. Using the theory of quantum Wilson lines, we show how the Verlinde algebra appears within the context of…
Conventional quantum field theory is a method for studying structureless elementary particles. Non-elementary particles, on the other hand, are those with internal structure or particles that are made up of elementary constituents like the…
