Group field theories represent a 2nd quantized reformulation of the loop quantum gravity state space and a completion of the spin foam formalism. States of the canonical theory, in the traditional continuum setting, have support on graphs…
We extend the definition of relative Gromov--Witten invariants with negative contact orders to all genera. Then we show that relative Gromov--Witten theory forms a partial CohFT. Some cycle relations on the moduli space of stable maps are…
In 1970s Segal outlined proofs of two theorems relating spaces of Fredholm and self-adjoint Fredholm operators with Quillen's constructions used to define higher algebraic K-theory. In the present paper we provide detailed proofs of these…
This paper introduces a new Floer homology for periodic Reeb orbits on the boundaries of Liouville domains. The construction of this Constrained Floer Homology (CFH) is based on the symplectic area functional, restricted to loops satisfying…
In this paper, we have obtained a generalization of the Grothendieck's theorem for the space of continuous mappings $C_{\lambda,\mu}(X,Y)$ where $Y$ is a complete uniform space with the uniformity $\mu$ endowed with the topology of uniform…
Under natural restrictions it is known that a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is a Hamiltonian PDE which defines a symplectic flow on a symplectic Hilbert space preserving the Hilbert norm. When the potential is one-periodic in time and…
Within the general framework of $f(R)$ gravity, we introduce a function of the electromagnetic curvature invariant $f(\mathbb{F})$ that couples minimally to gravitation to ensure a consistent treatment of curvature functions in these…
We review the generalization of field theory to space-time with noncommuting coordinates, starting with the basics and covering most of the active directions of research. Such theories are now known to emerge from limits of M theory and…
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
On a large class of asymptotically flat spacetimes which includes radiative perturbations of Minkowski space, we define a distinguished global Feynman propagator for massive Klein-Gordon fields by means of the microlocal approach to…
The ultraconfined light of plasmonic modes put their effective wavelength close to the mean free path of electrons inside the metal electron gas. The Drude model, which can not take the repulsive interactions of electrons into account, then…
In this work we study representations of the Poincare group defined over symplectic manifolds, deriving the Klein-Gordon and the Dirac equation in phase space. The formalism is associated with relativistic Wigner functions; the Noether…
We consider classes of diffeomorphisms of Euclidean space with partial asymptotic expansions at infinity; the remainder term lies in a weighted Sobolev space whose properties at infinity fit with the desired application. We show that two…
We show a general theorem of existence of temporal foliations in a general causal set, under mild constraints. Then we study automorphisms of infinite causal sets (which satisfy further requirements) and show that they fall under one of two…
Group field theories are a generalization of matrix models which provide both a second quantized reformulation of loop quantum gravity as well as generating functions for spin foam models. While states in canonical loop quantum gravity, in…
The main purpose of this paper is to give a generalization of Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. Consider a morphism from a smash product of spectra E,F to another spectrum G. We construct a TQFT for E-oriented manifolds using a representative of an…
Floer theory relates the dynamics of Hamiltonian isotopies and the homology of the ambient manifold. It was extended to similarly relate the dynamics of symplectic isotopies and the Novikov homology associated to their flux. We discuss this…
It is the goal of this paper to present the first steps for defining the analogue of Hamiltonian Floer theory for covariant field theory, treating time and space relativistically. While there already exist a number of competing geometric…
We review various methods to investigate the statics and the dynamics of collective composition fluctuations in dense polymer mixtures within fluctuating-field approaches. The central idea of fluctuating-field theories is to rewrite the…
Fulton and MacPherson introduced the notion of bivariant theories and Grothendieck transformations related to Riemann-Roch-theorems. But there are many situations, where such a bivariant theory or a corresponding Grothendieck transformation…
