The deformation star product of smooth functions on the momentum phase space of covariant (polysymplectic) Hamiltonian field theory is introduced.
We study a natural Hodge theoretic generalization of rational (or $\mathbb{Q}$-)homology manifolds through an invariant ${\rm HRH(Z)}$ where $Z$ is a complex algebraic variety. The defining property of this notion encodes the difference…
We review and discuss the role of diffeomorphism symmetry in quantum gravity models. Such models often involve a discretization of the space-time manifold as a regularization method. Generically this leads to a breaking of the symmetries to…
It is shown that q-deformed quantum mechanics (systems with q-deformed Heisenberg commutation relations) can be interpreted as an ordinary quantum mechanics on Kaehler manifolds, or as a quantum theory with second (or first)- class…
We prove the analog of Kostant's Theorem on Lie algebra cohomology in the context of quantum groups. We prove that Kostant's cohomology formula holds for quantum groups at a generic parameter $q$, recovering an earlier result of Malikov in…
The original de Rham cohomology due to Souriau and the singular cohomology in diffeology are not isomorphic to each other in general. This manuscript introduces a singular de Rham complex endowed with an integration map into the singular…
This paper summarizes a new proposal to define rigorously a sector of loop quantum gravity at the diffeomorphism invariant level corresponding to homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies, thereby enabling a detailed comparison of results in…
In this paper we define a new cohomology of a smooth manifold called Lichnerowicz type cohomology attached to a function. Firstly, we study some basic properties of this cohomology as: a de Rham type isomorphism, dependence on the function,…
The quantum deformation $CP_q(N)$ of complex projective space is discussed. Many of the features present in the case of the quantum sphere can be extended. The differential and integral calculus is studied and $CP_q(N)$ appears as a quantum…
We define a homomorphism from (a certain extension of) the fundamental group of the Hamiltonian automorphism group of a symplectic manifold to the group of invertibles in its quantum cohomology ring. The manifold must satify a technical…
Quantum Lefschetz theorem by Coates and Givental gives a relationship between the genus 0 Gromov-Witten theory of X and the twisted theory by a line bundle L on X. We prove the convergence of the twisted theory under the assumption that the…
Let X be a smooth projective curve over a field k of characteristic zero. The differential fundamental group of X is defined as the Tannakian dual to the category of vector bundles with (integrable) connections on X. This work investigates…
We characterize Lie group actions for which there exists, at least locally, an evaluation map that defines a cochain map from the differential complex of invariant forms on a manifold to the De Rham complex for the quotient.
Let X be a smooth projective variety. Using modified psi classes on the stack of genus zero stable maps to X, a new associative quantum product is constructed on the cohomology space of X. When X is a homogeneous variety, this structure…
In this paper we study the quantum sheaf cohomology of Grassmannians with deformations of the tangent bundle. Quantum sheaf cohomology is a (0,2) deformation of the ordinary quantum cohomology ring, realized as the OPE ring in A/2-twisted…
We generalize Coulomb-branch-based gauged linear sigma model (GLSM)-based computations of quantum cohomology rings of Fano spaces. Typically such computations have focused on GLSMs without superpotential, for which the IR phase of the GLSM…
We study the behaviors of quantum groups under an edge contraction. We show that there exists an explicit embedding induced by an edge contraction operation. We further conjecture that this explicit embedding is a section of an explicit…
We discuss some applications of the Morse-Novikov theory to some problems in modern physics, where appears a non-exact closed 1-form $\omega$ (a multi-valued functional). We focus mainly our attention to the cohomology of the de Rham…
Quantum decoherence is the effect that bridges quantum physics to well-understood classical physics. As such, it plays a crucial role in understanding the mysterious nature of quantum physics. Quantum decoherence is also a source of quantum…
Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of elliptic cohomology theories. It is the orbifold K-theory of a space of constant loops. For global quotient orbifolds, it can be expressed in terms of equivariant K-theories. Thus, the constructions…
