We summarize our recently proposed approach to quantum field theory on noncommutative curved spacetimes. We make use of the Drinfel'd twist deformed differential geometry of Julius Wess and his group in order to define an action functional…

A new method of metric space investigation, based on classification of its finite subspaces, is suggested. It admits to derive information on metric space properties which is encoded in metric. The method describes geometry in terms of only…

A realistic measurement-free theory for the quantum physics of multiple qubits is proposed. This theory is based on a symbolic representation of a fractal state-space geometry which is invariant under the action of deterministic and locally…

We study the Hilbert space structure of gauge-invariant operators emergent in large-$N$ multi-matrix quantum mechanics. Building on the framework of \cite{deMelloKoch:2025ngs}, we identify a class of light single-trace operators that behave…

We prove a number of results on integrability and extendability of Lie algebras of unbounded skew-symmetric operators with common dense domain in Hilbert space. By integrability for a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we mean that there is an…

We investigate the incorporation of space noncommutativity into field theory by extending to the spectral continuum the minisuperspace action of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator propagator with an enlarged Heisenberg algebra. In…

A general `quantum history theory' can be characterised by the space of histories and by the space of decoherence functionals. In this note we consider the situation where the space of histories is given by the lattice of projection…

The main achievements of Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics and its distinction with the indefinite-metric quantum theories are reviewed. The issue of the non-uniqueness of the metric operator and its consequences for defining the…

We develop two approaches to Quantum (or Non-commutative) Graphs based on arbitrary von Neumann algebras $M\subseteq\mathcal B(H)$: one looking at operator bimodules of Hilbert--Schmidt (instead of bounded) operators, and the second looking…

This paper explores the Invariant Subspace Problem in operator theory and functional analysis, examining its applications in various branches of mathematics and physics. The problem addresses the existence of invariant subspaces for bounded…

Based on the success of a well-known method for solving higher order linear differential equations, a study of two of the most important mathematical features of that method, viz. the null spaces and commutativity of the product of…

We show how quantum mechanics can be understood as a space-time theory provided that its spatial continuum is modelled by a variable real number (qrumber) continuum. Such a continuum can be constructed using only standard Hilbert space…

We establish a previously unexplored conservation law for the Quantum Fisher Information Matrix (QFIM) expressed as follows; when the QFIM is constructed from a set of observables closed under commutation, i.e., a Lie algebra, the spectrum…

This note is an introduction to methods of construction for Hilbert space realizations of relativistic quantum physics. The realizations satisfy a revision to Wightman's functional analytic axioms and exhibit interaction in physical…

The space, on which quantum field operators are given, is constructed in any theory, in which the usual product between test functions is substituted by the $\star$-product (the Moyal-type product). The important example of such a theory is…
