We consider an ensemble of classical particles coupled to a Klein-Gordon field. For the resulting nonlinear system of partial differential equations, which we call the relativistic Vlasov-Klein-Gordon system, we prove the existence of…
We propose a distinguished set of positive and negative energy modes of the Klein-Gordon equation as a time independent definition of the vacuum state of a quantized scalar field.
Recently, a new choice of variables was identified to understand how the quantum group structure appeared in three-dimensional gravity [1]. These variables are introduced via a canonical transformation generated by a boundary term. We show…
We determine the coefficients of the terms multiplying the gauge fields, gravitational field and cosmological term in a scheme whereby properties are characterized by $N$ anticommuting scalar Grassmann variables. We do this for general $N$,…
In the complete system of equations of evolution of the classical system of charges and the electromagnetic field generated by them, the field variables are excluded. An exact closed relativistic non-Hamiltonian system of nonlocal kinetic…
Positive-energy solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation form a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the future tube. This domain is interpreted as an extended phase space for the associated classical particle, the extra dimensions being…
A number of arguments purport to show that quantum field theory cannot be given an interpretation in terms of localizable particles. We show, in light of such arguments, that the classical $\hbar\to 0$ limit can aid our understanding of the…
We study the equivalence of microcanonical and canonical ensembles in continuous systems, in the sense of the convergence of the corresponding Gibbs measures. This is obtained by proving a local central limit theorem and a local large…
The quantization of the family of linearly polarized Gowdy $T^3$ spacetimes is discussed in detail, starting with a canonical analysis in which the true degrees of freedom are described by a scalar field that satisfies a Klein-Gordon type…
Starting from the Schr\"odinger-equation of a composite system, we derive unified dynamics of a classical harmonic system coupled to an arbitrary quantized system. The classical subsystem is described by random phase-space coordinates…
In the algebraic theory of algebra-valued noncommutative probability spaces, for a unital algebra B, a mild reformulation of Speicher's noncrossing B-valued cumulants for random variables in these spaces is used to construct canonical…
Evolution of systems in which Hamiltonians are generators of gauge transformations is a notion that requires more structure than the canonical theory provides. We identify and study this additional structure in the framework of relational…
Two alternative ways of description an evolution constrained by mass-shell equation are given by the hyperbolic and the periodic angles. In the both cases the angles are proportional to the mass. The differential operators with respect to…
We present a relativistic formulation of noncommutative mechanics were the object of noncommutativity $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ is considered as an independent quantity. Its canonical conjugate momentum is also introduced, what permits to obtain an…
A fundamental problem with attempting to quantize general relativity is its perturbative non-renormalizability. However, this fact does not rule out the possibility that non-perturbative effects can be computed, at least in some…
Subject of our investigations is QCD formulated in terms of physical degrees of freedom. Starting from the Faddeev-Popov procedure, the canonical formulation of QCD is derived for static gauges. Particular emphasis is put on obstructions…

We construct a field theory to describe energy averaged quantum statistical properties of systems which are chaotic in their classical limit. An expression for the generating function of general statistical correlators is presented in the…
We consider a generalization of the quintessence type scalar field cosmological models, by adding a multiplicative dissipative term in the scalar field Lagrangian, which is represented in an exponential form. The generalized dissipative…
