We examine deformed Poincar\'e algebras containing the exact Lorentz algebra. We impose constraints which are necessary for defining field theories on these algebras and we present simple field theoretical examples. Of particular interest…
This is the first in a series of articles devoted to deformation quantization of gerbes. Here we give basic definitions and interpret deformations of a given gerbe as Maurer-Cartan elements of a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA). We…
In this work we introduce new scalar field models and study the defect solutions they may engender. The investigation is based on the deformation procedure, which greatly simplify the calculations, leading us to new models together with the…
An approach to study a generalization of the classical-quantum transition for general systems is proposed. In order to develop the idea, a deformation of the ladder operators algebra is proposed that contains a realization of the quantum…
In this paper, we first discuss cohomology and a one-parameter formal deformation theory of Lie-Yamaguti algebras. Next, we study finite group actions on Lie-Yamaguti algebras and introduce equivariant cohomology for Lie-Yamaguti algebras…
The recently proposed Holography-inspired approach to quantum gravity is reviewed and expanded. The approach is based on the foliation of the background spacetime and reduction of the offshell states to the physical states. Careful…
This work is a continuation of studies presented in the papers arXiv:0911.5597, arXiv:1003.4523. In the work it is demonstrated that with the use of one and the same parameter deformation may be described for several cases of the General…
This review explores recent advances in the theory of $T\bar{T}$ deformation, an irrelevant yet solvable deformation of quantum field theories defined via the quadratic form of the energy-momentum tensor. It addresses classical and quantum…
We develop the notion of deformations using a valuation ring as ring of coefficients. This permits to consider in particular the classical Gerstenhaber deformations of associative or Lie algebras as infinitesimal deformations and to solve…
Classical physics is reformulated as a constrained Hamiltonian system in the history phase space. Dynamics, i.e. the Euler-Lagrange equations, play the role of first-class constraints. This allows us to apply standard methods from the…
We investigate deformations of lagrangian manifolds with singularities. We introduce a complex similar to the de Rham-complex whose cohomology calculates deformation spaces. Examples of singular lagrangian varieties are presented and…
In this paper we review recent results by the author on the problem of quantization of measures. More precisely, we propose a dynamical approach, and we investigate it in dimensions 1 and 2. Moreover, we discuss a recent general result on…
This paper discusses the notion of a deformation quantization for an arbitrary polynomial Poisson algebra A. We examine the Hochschild cohomology group H^3(A) and find that if a deformation of A exists it can be given by bidifferential…
Although classical mechanics and quantum mechanics are separate disciplines, we live in a world where Planck's constant \hbar>0, meaning that the classical and quantum world views must actually {\it coexist}. Traditionally, canonical…
We introduce a new cohomology theory related to deformations of Lie algebra morphisms. This notion involves simultaneous deformations of two Lie algebras and a homomorphism between them.
We review recent progress with the understanding of quantum fields, including ideas how gravity might turn out to be a renormalizable theory after all.
A technique to linearize gravitational field equations is developed in which the perturbation metric coefficients are treated as second rank, symmetric, 1-form fields belonging to the Minkowski background spacetime by using the exterior…
In this paper some techniques useful to perform quantum field theory computations in a covariant manner are reviewed. In particular the background field gauge, the zeta function regularization and the heat kernel approach are highlighted.…
The paper develop the alternative formulation of quantum mechanics known as the phase space quantum mechanics or deformation quantization. It is shown that the quantization naturally arises as an appropriate deformation of the classical…
