The gauge approach to the theory of gravity has been widely discussed as an alternative to standard general relativity. The Poincar{\'e} group, as a symmetry group of all relativistic theories in the absence of gravitation, constitutes the…
The loop momenta of a single Feynman diagram in momentum space can be assigned unambiguously within the 'Dyson scheme' without referring to the other Feynman diagrams in the complete set to some order of coupling constant for the certain…
The propagator of a gauge boson, like the massless photon or the massive vector bosons $W^\pm$ and $Z$ of the electroweak theory, can be derived in two different ways, namely via Green's functions (semi-classical approach) or via the vacuum…
In quantum electrodynamics, optical processes are theoretically described by double-sided Feynman diagrams. This formalism is powerful in the case of molecules but proves inappropriate to account for light-matter interactions within complex…
General N=(1,1) dilaton supergravity in two dimensions allows a background independent exact quantization of the geometric part, if these theories are formulated as specific graded Poisson-sigma models. The strategy developed for the…
The method of differential equations in canonical form has proven a powerful tool for solving multiloop Feynman integrals. In this note we test this procedure away from four dimensions. Namely, we consider the simple example of a massless…
We discuss the equivalence of the standard covariant expressions and light-front expressions of the three fundamental one loop Feynman diagrams of Quantum Electrodynamics viz. vertex correction, fermion self-energy and vacuum polarization…
Algebraic non-covariant gauges are used often in string theory, Chern-Simons theory, gravitation and gauge theories. Loop integrals, however, have spurious singularities that need to be regularized. The most popular and consistent…
For distinguishable particles it is well known that Brownian motion and a Feynman-Kac functional can be used to calculate the path integral (for imaginary times) for a general class of scalar potentials. In order to treat identical…
Hybrid inverse problems such as Acousto-Electric Tomography, Current Density Imaging or Magnetic Resonance Electric Impedance Tomography are concerned with reconstructing the electrical conductivity from interior measurements. For a…
In order to popularize the so called Schwinger's method we reconsider the Feynman propagator of two non-relativistic systems: a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and a charged harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field.…
In this paper, we study the singularities of Feynman integrals using homological techniques. We analyse the Feynman integrals by compactifying the integration domain as well as the ambient space by embedding them in higher-dimensional…
The gauge principle is at the heart of a good part of fundamental physics: Starting with a group G of so-called rigid symmetries of a functional defined over space-time Sigma, the original functional is extended appropriately by additional…
The physical interpretation of cold dark matter perturbations is clarified by associating Bertschinger's Poisson gauge with a Eulerian/observer's frame of reference. We obtain such an association by using a Lagrangian approach to…
There is solid consensus among physicists and philosophers that, in gauge field theory, for a quantity to be physically meaningful or real, it must be gauge-invariant. Yet, every "elementary" field in the Standard Model of particle physics…
We develop a unified approach to both infrared and ultraviolet asymptotics of the fermion Green functions in the condensed matter systems that allow for an effective description in the framework of the Quantum Electrodynamics. By applying a…
The formalism of the reduced density matrix is pursued in both length and velocity gauges of the perturbation to the crystal Hamiltonian. The covariant derivative is introduced as a convenient representation of the position operator. This…
We study pure SU(N) lattice gauge theory with a plaquette weight factor given by an inverse determinant which can be written as an integral over auxiliary bosonic fields (modifying a proposal of Budczies and Zirnbauer). We derive conditions…
Standard practice attempts to remove coordinate influence in physics through the use of invariant equations. Trans-coordinate physics proceeds differently by not introducing space-time coordinates in the first place. Differentials taken…
Quantum measurement problem is still unconsensus since it has existed many years and inspired a large of literature in physics and philosophy. We show it can be subsumed into the quantum theory if we extend the Feynman path integral by…
