I discuss some issues of perturbative quantum gravity, namely of a theory of self-interacting massless spin-2 quantum gauge fields, the gravitons, on flat space-time, in the framework of causal perturbation theory. The central aspects of…
We study certain aspects of the recently proposed notion of nonrelativistic diffeomorphism invariance. In particular, we consider specific examples of invariant actions, extended gauge symmetry as well as an application to the theory of…
This is an expanded version of the third author's lecture in String-Math 2015 at Sanya. It summarizes some of our works in quantum cohomology. After reviewing the quantum Lefschetz and quantum Leray--Hirsch, we discuss their applications to…
In this paper, we propose an approach based on the theory of an axiomatic $S$ matrix and partially switching on an interaction, which is extremely suitable for describing the phenomenon of oscillations within the framework of quantum field…
We give a framework to describe gauge theory in which a nonassociative Moufang loop takes the place of the structure group. The structure of such gauge theory has many formal similarities with that of Yang-Mills theory. We extend the gauge…
I discuss motivations for introducing Hopf algebra symmetries in noncommutative field theories and briefly describe twisting of main symmetry transformations. New results include an extended list of twisted gauge invariants (which may help…
We define a quantum loop group $\mathbf{U}^+_Q$ associated to an arbitrary quiver $Q=(I,E)$ and maximal set of deformation parameters, with generators indexed by $I \times \mathbb{Z}$ and some explicit quadratic and cubic relations. We…

The paper discusses quantum graphs with a vertex coupling which interpolates between the common one of the $\delta$ type and a coupling introduced recently by two of the authors which exhibits a preferred orientation. Describing the…
Kappa-Minkowski space-time is an example of noncommutative space-time with potentially interesting phenomenology. However, the construction of field theories on this space is plagued with ambiguities. We propose to resolve certain…
The Lie algebra of Feynman graphs gives rise to two natural representations, acting as derivations on the commutative Hopf algebra of Feynman graphs, by creating or eliminating subgraphs. Insertions and eliminations do not commute, but…
The dynamics of nonlinear flip-flop quantum walk with amplitude-dependent phase shifts with pertubing potential barrier is investigated. Through the adjustment between uniform local perturbations and a Kerrlike nonlinearity of the medium we…
The Yukawa interaction is considered in 0+1 dimensions as a pedagogical example to illustrate quantum field theory methods. From the quantum mechanical point of view the system is trivially exactly solvable, but this can be difficult to see…
We study the dual constructions of quantum loop groups and Feigin-Odesskii type shuffle algebras for an arbitrary quiver, for which the arrow parameters are arbitrary non-zero elements of any field. Examples of our setup include…
We study the shuttling instability in an array of three quantum dots the central one of which is movable. We extend the results by Armour and MacKinnon on this problem to a broader parameter regime. The results obtained by an efficient…
Quantum field theory provides us with the means to calculate scattering amplitudes. In recent years a dramatic new development has lead to great simplification of such calculations. This is based on the discovery of the``amplituhedron'' in…
It was recently proposed that the kinematic algebra featuring in the colour-kinematics duality for scattering amplitudes in heavy-mass effective field theory (HEFT) and Yang-Mills theory is a quasi-shuffle Hopf algebra. The associated…
We study the perturbative quantization of gauge theories and gravity. Our investigations start with the geometry of spacetimes and particle fields. Then we discuss the various Lagrange densities of (effective) Quantum General Relativity…
In this note we investigate U(N) gauge theories with matter in the fundamental and adjoint representations of the gauge group, interacting via generalized Yukawa terms of the form Tr[Q \Phi^n {\tilde Q}]. We find agreement between the…
We use the homological perturbation lemma to produce explicit formulas computing the class in the twisted de Rham complex represented by an arbitrary polynomial. This is a non-asymptotic version of the method of Feynman diagrams. In…
