The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of Poincare symmetry, positivity of total energy, and the existence of a unique, Poincare invariant vacuum state. These and other key features of quantum…

The global Minkowski Bessel (M-B) modes, whose explicit form allows the identification and description of the condensed vacuum state resulting from the operation of a pair of accelerated refrigerators, are introduced. They span the…

We study the symplectic geometry of the moduli spaces of polygons in the Minkowski 3-space. These spaces naturally carry completely integrable systems with periodic flows. We extend the Gelfand-Tsetlin method to pseudo-unitary groups and…
