Real-valued triplet of scalar fields as source gives rise to a metric which tilts the scalar, not the light cone, in 2+1-dimensions. The topological metric is static, regular and it is characterized by an integer $\kappa =\pm 1,\pm 2,...$.…
In the uniformly discrete case of virtual persistence diagram groups $K(X,A)$, we construct a translation-invariant heat semigroup. The kernels are supported on a countable subgroup $H$, and the restriction to $H$ has Fourier exponent…

The worldline formalism has in recent years emerged as a powerful tool for the computation of effective actions and heat kernels. However, implementing nontrivial boundary conditions in this formalism has turned out to be a difficult…
We investigate how topological Chern numbers can be defined when single-particle states hybridize with continua. We do so exemplarily in a bosonic Haldane model at zero temperature with an additional on-site decay of one boson into two and…
