The main aim of this work is to relate integrability in QFT with a complete particle interpretation directly to the principle of causal localization, circumventing the standard method of finding sufficiently many conservation laws. Its…
We introduce and study equivariant Hilbert series of ideals in polynomial rings in countably many variables that are invariant under a suitable action of a symmetric group or the monoid $Inc(\mathbb{N})$ of strictly increasing functions.…
Underlying a general noncommutative algebra with both noncommutative coordinates and noncommutative momenta in a (1+1)-dimensional spacetime, a chiral boson Lagrangian with manifest Lorentz covariance is proposed by linearly imposing a…
We show that for any Hilbert space of distributions on $\textbf{R}^d$ which is translation and modulation invariant, is equal to $L^2(\textbf{R}^d)$, with the same norm apart from a multiplicative constant.
The change of variable theorem is proved under the sole hypothesis of differentiability of the transformation. Specifically, it is shown under this hypothesis that the transformed integral equals the given one over every measurable subset…
We consider the ring of coinvariants for modular representations of cyclic groups of prime order. For all cases for which explicit generators for the ring of invariants are known, we give a reduced Gr\"obner basis for the Hilbert ideal and…
Starting from the bi-local Klein-Gordon Equation with spin-independent squared-mass operator, we give a covariant quark representation of general composite meson systems with definite Lorentz transformation properties. For benefit of this…
Genus two partition functions of 2d chiral conformal field theories are given by Siegel modular forms. We compute their conformal blocks and use them to perform the conformal bootstrap. The advantage of this approach is that it imposes…
We prove a variety of results describing the possible diagonals of tuples of commuting hermitian operators in type $II_1$ factors. These results are generalisations of the classical Schur-Horn theorem to the infinite dimensional,…
We use the description of the Picard modular surface for discriminant $-3$ as a moduli space of curves of genus $3$ to generate all vector-valued Picard modular forms from bi-covariants for the action of ${GL}_2$ on the space of pairs of…
Second-order equations of motion on a group manifold that appear in a large class of so-called chiral theories are presented. These equations are presented and explicitely solved for cases of semi-simple, finite-dimensional Lie groups. With…
We study the moduli space C^2 of unitary two-dimensional conformal field theories with central charge c=2. We construct all the 28 nonexceptional nonisolated irreducible components of C^2 that may be obtained by an orbifold procedure from…
Many moduli spaces are constructed as quotients of group actions; this paper surveys the classical theory, as well as recent progress and applications. We review geometric invariant theory for reductive groups and how it is used to…
The first half of this dissertation reviews the basic notion of vector-valued modular forms and its connection to differential equations. The main purpose of the dissertation is to classify spaces of vector-valued modular forms associated…
Extending the seminal work of Bilal and Gervais, we construct a tachyon-free, modular invariant partition function for critical superstrings on four-dimensional Minkowski x two-dimensional black hole. This model may be thought of as an…
In one variable, there exists a satisfactory classification of commutative rings of differential operators. In several variables, even the simplest generalizations seem to be unknown and in this report we give examples and pose questions…
Modular invariance is known to constrain the spectrum of 2d conformal field theories. We investigate this constraint systematically, using the linear functional method to put new improved upper bounds on the lowest gap in the spectrum. We…
Local observation is an important problem both for the foundations of a quantum theory of gravity and for applications to quantum-cosmological problems such as eternal inflation. While gauge invariant local observables can't be defined, it…
In this paper we characterize spaces of continuous and $L^p$-functions on a compact Hausdorff space that are invariant under a transitive and continuous group action. This work generalizes Nagel and Rudin's 1976 results concerning unitarily…
A gauge-invariant field is found which describes physical configurations, i.e. gauge orbits, of non-Abelian gauge theories. This is accomplished with non-Abelian generalizations of the Poincare'-Hodge formula for one-forms. In a particular…
