The notion of a measure on the space of connections modulo gauge transformations that is invariant under diffeomorphisms of the base manifold is important in a variety of contexts in mathematical physics and topology. At the formal level,…

Consistent dynamics which couples classical and quantum degrees of freedom exists. This dynamics is linear in the hybrid state, completely positive and trace preserving. Starting from completely positive classical-quantum master equations,…

While symplectic manifolds have no local invariants, they do admit many global numerical invariants. Prominent among them are the so-called symplectic capacities. Different capacities are defined in different ways, and so relations between…

This paper is devoted to the study of symplectic manifolds and their connection with Hamiltonian dynamical systems. We review some properties and operations on these manifolds and see how they intervene when studying the complete…

The study of algebraic properties of groups of transformations of a manifold gives rise to an interplay between different areas of mathemathics such as topology, geometry, and dynamical systems. Especially, in this paper, we point out some…

The classical invariants of a Hamiltonian system are expected to be derivable from the respective quantum spectrum. In fact, semiclassical expressions relate periodic orbits with eigenfunctions and eigenenergies of classical chaotic…

We formulate Lagrangian descriptors (LDs) in the path integral framework. Averaging the classical LD over fluctuations about extremal trajectories defines a quantum LD that incorporates quantum effects. Invariant manifolds, which sharply…

We examine the topology of the subset of controls taking a given initial state to a given final state in quantum control, where "state" may mean a pure state |\psi>, an ensemble density matrix \rho, or a unitary propagator U(0,T). The…

We study the space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary. We show that the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants can be extended to the class of semi-positive manifolds with convex boundary. This…

Certain phase space path integrals can be evaluated exactly using equivariant cohomology and localization in the canonical loop space. Here we extend this to a general class of models. We consider hamiltonians which are {\it a priori}…

We introduce topological contact dynamics of a smooth manifold carrying a cooriented contact structure, generalizing previous work in the case of a symplectic structure [MO07] or a contact form [BS12]. A topological contact isotopy is not…

We describe the time evolution of quantum systems in a classical background space-time by means of a covariant derivative in an infinite dimensional vector bundle. The corresponding parallel transport operator along a timelike curve $\cC$…

It is generally believed that a full-fledged theory of quantum gravity should exhibit background independence and diffeomorphism invariance. In its most general form, the latter comprises field redefinitions, which are diffeomorphisms in…

In this paper we continue the development of Quantum Holonomy Theory, which is a candidate for a fundamental theory, by constructing separable strongly continuous representations of its algebraic foundation, the quantum…

We give a mathematical definition of some path integrals, emphasizing those relevant to the quantization of symplectic manifolds (and more generally, Poisson manifolds) $\unicode{x2013}$ in particular, the coherent state path integral. We…

We study analysis over infinite dimensional manifolds consisted by sequences of almost K\"ahler manifolds. In particular we develop moduli theory of pseudo holomorphic curves into the spaces with high symmetry. As applications, we study…
