The Schr{\"o}dinger inequality is known to underlie the Kennard-Robertson inequality, which is the standard expression of quantum uncertainty for the product of variances of two observables $A$ and $B$, in the sense that the latter is…

The (4,0) supermultiplet in 6 dimensions contains a 4th rank tensor gauge field with the symmetries of the Riemann tensor and is superconformal, with 32+32 supersymmetries. Dimensional reduction on a circle gives the 5D N=8 supergravity…
We study a quantum mechanics with the usual postulates but in which the Heisenberg algebra of canonical commutation relations and the Poincare algebra are replaced by the Lie algebra of the homogeneous Lorentz group SO(5,1). It arises from…
In this paper we apply known techniques from semigroup theory to the Schr\"odinger problem with initial conditions. To this end, we define the regularized Schr\"odinger semigroup acting on a space-time domain and show that it is strongly…
The proper time of an observer can be introduced as a degree of freedom in quantum cosmology, additional to the existing fields. We review two arguments for using the Schr\"odinger equation to evolve the corresponding wavefunction. We…

We consider a nonstandard $D=2+1$ gravity described by a translational Chern--Simons action, and couple it to the nonrelativistic point particles. We fix the asymptotic coordinate transformations in such a way that the space part of the…
In the groupoid approach to noncommutative quantization of gravity, gravitational field is quantized in terms of a C*-algebra A of complex valued funcions on a groupoid G (with convolution as multiplication). In the noncommutative quantum…
We consider the Schr\''odinger equation \begin{equation}\label{eq_abstract} i\partial_t u(t)=-\Delta u(t)~~~~~\text{ on }\Omega(t) \tag{$\ast$} \end{equation}where $\Omega(t)\subset\mathbb{R}$ is a moving domain depending on the time $t\in…
We consider the Schr\"odinger equation with a Hamiltonian given by a second order difference operator with nonconstant growing coefficients, on the half one dimensional lattice. This operator appeared first naturally in the construction and…

We continue our previous work [Ling-Bing He, Xuguang Lu and Mario Pulvirenti, Comm. Math. Phys., 386(2021), no. 1, 143223.] on the limit of the spatially homogeneous quantum Boltzmann equation as the Planck constant $\epsilon$ tends to…
The Sommerfeld boundary conditions, applied to an asymptotically weak gravitational field, are shown to imply that the 1/r part of the curvature tensor of a space-time, satisfying the Einstein equations, is of type null in the Petrov…
We give explicit analytic criteria for two problems associated with the Schr\"odinger operator $H = -\Delta + Q$ on $L^2(\R^n)$ where $Q\in D'(\R^n)$ is an arbitrary real- or complex-valued potential. First, we obtain necessary and…
Schr\"odinger symmetry emerged in a ``fluid limit" from a full superspace to several mini-superspace models. We consider two spherically-symmetric static mini-superspace models with matter fields and verify the robustness of this emergent…
For want of a more natural proposal, it is generally assumed that the back-reaction of a quantised matter field on a classical metric is given by the expectation value of its energy-momentum tensor, evaluated in a specified state. This…
We present a framework which unifies a large class of non-commutative spacetimes that can be described in terms of a deformed Heisenberg algebra. The commutation relations between spacetime coordinates are up to linear order in the…
