By decomposing the regular representation of a particular (Heisenberg-like) Lie supergroup into irreducible subspaces, we show that not all of them can be obtained by applying geometric quantization to coadjoint orbits with an even…

We present a noncommutative gauge theory that has the ordinary Standard Model as its low-energy limit. The model is based on the gauge group U(4) x U(3) x U(2) and is constructed to satisfy the key requirements imposed by noncommutativity:…

A result from Gromov ensures the existence of a contact structure on any connected non-compact odd dimensional Lie group. But in general such structures are not invariant under left translations of the Lie group. The problem of finding…

We discuss non-commutative field theories in coordinate space. To do so we introduce pseudo-localized operators that represent interesting position dependent (gauge invariant) observables. The formalism may be applied to arbitrary field…

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

For vacuum Maxwell theory in four dimensions, a supplementary condition exists (due to Eastwood and Singer) which is invariant under conformal rescalings of the metric, in agreement with the conformal symmetry of the Maxwell equations.…

Under suitable assumptions on the boundary conditions, it is shown that there is a bijective correspondence between equivalence classes of asymptotic reducibility parameters and asymptotically conserved n-2 forms in the context of…

This paper is concerned with the characterizations of quasi self-adjoint extensions of a class of formally non-self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian systems. Some properties of the solutions and the characterization of the minimal linear…

Dirac's quantization of the Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. First class constraints were found which are the same as in classical electrodynamics. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of…

We introduce the construction of induced corepresentations in the setting of locally compact quantum groups and prove that the resulting induced corepresentations are unitary under some mild integrability condition. We also establish a…

We give an explicit description of smoothly bounded Reinhardt domains with noncompact automorphism groups. In particular, this description confirms a special case of a conjecture of Greene/Krantz.

The correlation functions of supersymmetric gauge theories on a four-manifold X can sometimes be expressed in terms of topological invariants of X. We show how the existence of superconformal fixed points in the gauge theory can provide…

The matching of global anomalies of a supersymmetric gauge theory and its dual is seen to follow from similarities in their classical chiral rings. These similarities provide a formula for the dimension of the dual gauge group. As examples…

Noncommutative U(1) gauge theory in 4-dimensions is shown to be equivalent in some scaling limit to an ordinary non-linear sigma model in 2-dimensions . The model in this regime is solvable and the corresponding exact beta function is…

We formulate a 4-dimensional higher gauge theoretic Chern-Simons theory. Its symmetry is encoded in a semistrict Lie 2-algebra equipped with an invariant non singular bilinear form. We analyze the gauge invariance of the theory and show…

A deformation of the canonical algebra for kinematical observables of the quantum field theory in Minkowski space-time has been considered under the condition of Lorentz invariance. A relativistic invariant algebra obtained depends on…

We discuss some exact Seiberg--Witten-type maps for noncommutative electrodynamics. Their implications for anomalies in different (noncommutative and commutative) descriptions are also analysed.

We compute the Whitehead groups of the associative rings in a class which includes (twisted) formal power series rings and the augmentation localizations of group rings and polynomial rings. For any associative ring A, we obtain an…

We discuss the relationship between target space modular invariance and discrete gauge symmetries in four-dimensional orbifold-like strings. First we derive the modular transformation properties of various string vertex operators of the…

We consider models with a noncompact symmetry in the framework of $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry. Contrary to the conventional approach, the noncompact symmetry is realized linearly on all fields without constraints. The models are…
