The question of the asymptotic form of the perturbation expansion in scalar field theories is reconsidered. Renewed interest in the computation of terms in the epsilon-expansion, used to calculate critical exponents, has been frustrated by…
It is shown that the perturbative expansions of the correlation functions of a relativistic quantum field theory at finite temperature are uniquely determined by the equations of motion and standard axiomatic requirements, including the KMS…
Application of the geometrically-inspired representations to the epsilon-expansion of the two-point function with different masses is considered. Explicit result for an arbitrary term of the expansion is obtained in terms of log-sine…
This letter examines diagrammatic cancellations for Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in the general linear gauge. These cancellations combine Feynman graphs of various topologies and provide a method to reconstruct the gauge dependence of the…
Feynman's Lagrangian path integral was an outgrowth of Dirac's vague surmise that Lagrangians have a role in quantum mechanics. Lagrangians implicitly incorporate Hamilton's first equation of motion, so their use contravenes the uncertainty…
We show in this paper how to construct Symanzik polynomials and the Schwinger parametric representation of Feynman amplitudes for gauge theories in an unspecified covariant gauge. The complete Mellin representation of such amplitudes is…
We construct Quantum Representation Theory which describes quantum analogue of representations in frame of "non-commutative linear geometry" developed by Manin. To do it we generalise the internal hom-functor to the case of adjunction with…
We derive a spacetime formulation of quantum general relativity from (hamiltonian) loop quantum gravity. In particular, we study the quantum propagator that evolves the 3-geometry in proper time. We show that the perturbation expansion of…
This is a self-contained and hopefully readable account on the method of creation and annihilation operators (also known as the Fock space representation or the "second quantization" formalism) for non-relativistic quantum mechanics of many…
In the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the phase factor Exp[iS(x[t])] is associated with every path x[t]. Summing this factor over all paths yields Feynman's propagator as a sum-over-paths. In the original formulation, the…
In this note we verify certain statement about the operator $Q\_K$ constructed by Donaldson in [3] by using the full asymptotic expansion of Bergman kernel obtained in [2] and [4].
The complex exponential weighting of Feynman formalism is seen to happen at the classical level. (Finiteness of) Feynman path integral formula is suspected then to appear as a consistency condition for the existence of certain Dirac…
Many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) is widely used in quantum physics, chemistry, and materials science. At the heart of MBPT is the Feynman diagrammatic expansion, which is, simply speaking, an elegant way of organizing the…
We consider a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian for a particle confined to a finite interval with perfectly reflecting boundary conditions. In some cases, one obtains negative energy states which seems to…
We review the constructions and tests of the dilatation operator and of the spectrum of composite operators in the flavour SU(2) subsector of N=4 SYM in the planar limit by explicit Feynman graph calculations with emphasis on analyses…
We evaluate a one-loop, two-point, massless Feynman integral $I_{D,m}(p,q)$ relevant for perturbative field theoretic calculations in strongly anisotropic $d=D+m$ dimensional spaces given by the direct sum $\mathbb R^D\oplus\mathbb R^m$.…
We prove that every completely monotone function defined on a right-unbounded open interval admits a Newton series expansion at every point of that interval. This result can be viewed as an analog of Bernstein's little theorem for…
This is the second paper on semiclassical approach based on the density matrix given by the Euclidean time path integral with fixed coinciding endpoints. The classical path, interpolating between this point and the classical vacuum, called…
We introduce the tools of intersection theory to the study of Feynman integrals, which allows for a new way of projecting integrals onto a basis. In order to illustrate this technique, we consider the Baikov representation of maximal cuts…
We study mesonic line operators in Chern-Simons theories with bosonic or fermionic matter in the fundamental representation. In this paper, we elaborate on the classification and properties of these operators using all loop resummation of…
