I start with a scenario where the universe is an abstract space $\mathcal{M}$ having $d$ dimensions. There is a two dimensional surface embedded in it. Embedding is a map from the embedded surface to $\mathcal{M}$ that has a field theory…
An intrinsic metric tensor, a flat connexion and the corresponding distance-like function are constructed in the configuration space formed by velocity field {\bf and} the thermodynamic variables of an inviscid fluid. The kinetic-energy…
While it is generally agreed that the nature of spacetime must be drastically different at the Planck scale, it has been a common practice to assume that spacetime is endowed with a full pseudo-Riemannian geometry regardless of the physical…
This paper explores in some detail a recent proposal (the Rieffel induction/refined algebraic quantization scheme) for the quantization of constrained gauge systems. Below, the focus is on systems with a single constraint and, in this…
In the geometrodynamical setting of general relativity in Lagrangian form, the objects of study are the {\it Riemannian} metrics (and their time derivatives) over a given 3-manifold $M$. It is our aim in this paper to study the gauge…
We investigate the consequences of reparametrizations in the geometric description of thermodynamics analyzing the effects on the thermodynamic phase space. It is known that the contact and Riemannian structures of the thermodynamic phase…
We give a notion of entropy for general gemetric structures, which generalizes well-known notions of topological entropy of vector fields and geometric entropy of foliations, and which can also be applied to singular objects, e.g. singular…
Starting from the vacuum, iterated Grassmann-algebra formation consecutively introduces vector spaces and groups with the structure first of charge, then of isospin, then of color.
The dynamical properties of the gauge theory of Born-Infeld type action, which is expected as the high-energy effective theory, are investigated by adding a complex scalar field to this gauge system. Especially the Coleman-Weinberg…
Cylindrical gravitational waves of Einstein gravity are described by an integrable system (Ernst system) whose quantization is a long standing problem. We propose to bootstrap the quantum theory along the following lines: The quantum theory…
Symmetries impose structure on the Hilbert space of a quantum mechanical model. The mathematical units of this structure are the irreducible representations of symmetry groups and I consider how they function as conceptual units of…
Diffeomorphisms and an internal symmetry (e.g., local Lorentz invariance) are typically regarded as the symmetries of any geometrical gravity theory, including general relativity. In the first-order formalism, diffeomorphisms can be thought…
Our primary task is to demonstrate that the logarithmic nonlinearity in the quantum wave equation can cause the spontaneous symmetry breaking and mass generation phenomena on its own, at least in principle. To achieve this goal, we view the…
We will pursue a way of building up an algebraic structure that involves, in a mathematical abstract way, the well known Grassmann variables. The problem arises when we tried to understand the grassmannian polynomial expansion on the scope…
We provide a mechanism of gauging a theory based on a particular way to embed a theory on a target space such that a nontrivial fibration is produced. A connection over a nontrivial fibration with monodromy provides a natural framework for…
It is shown that the geometry of quantum theory can be derived from geometrical structure that may be considered more fundamental. The basic elements of this reconstruction of quantum theory are the natural metric on the space of…
We show that the massive noncommutative U(1) theory is embedded in a gauge theory using an alternative systematic way, which is based on the symplectic framework. The embedded Hamiltonian density is obtained after a finite number of steps…
This work presents a matrix formulation for the induced metric on a brane, where non-commutative gauge fields play a central role. By starting from a general embedding of a p-brane in a higher-dimensional bulk, we derive the induced metric…
We introduce the notion of coarse metric. Every coarse metric induces a coarse structure on the underlying set. Conversely, we observe that all coarse spaces come from a particular type of coarse metric in a unique way. In the case when the…
We study the approach in which independent variables describing gravity are functions of the space-time embedding into a flat space of higher dimension. We formulate a canonical formalism for such a theory in a form, which requires imposing…
