We develop the noncommutative geometry (bundles, connections etc.) associated to algebras that factorise into two subalgebras. An example is the factorisation of matrices $M_2(\C)=\C\Z_2\cdot\C\Z_2$. We also further extend the coalgebra…
We propose a generalization of the classical theta function to higher cohomology of the polarization line bundle on a family of complex tori with positive index. The constructed cocycles vary horizontally with respect to the (projective)…
We explicitly apply localization results to study the interpolation between three and two dimensional mirror symmetry for Abelian gauge theories with four supercharges. We first use the ellipsoid S_b^3 partition functions to verify the…
A geometric quantization of a K\"{a}hler manifold, viewed as a symplectic manifold, depends on the complex structure compatible with the symplectic form. The quantizations form a vector bundle over the space of such complex structures.…
The theory of geometric zeta functions for locally symmetric spaces as initialized by Selberg and continued by numerous mathematicians is generalized to the case of higher rank spaces. We show analytic continuation, describe the divisor in…
We provide geometric quantization of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system in the action-angle variables around an invariant torus with respect to polarization spanned by almost-Hamiltonian vector fields of angle variables. The…
Using geometric quantization procedure, the quantization of algebra of observables for physical system with Ricci-flat phase space is obtained. In the classical case the appointed physical system is reduced to harmonic oscillator when the…
The continuity, in a suitable topology, of algebraic and geometric operations on real analytic manifolds and vector bundles is proved. This is carried out using recently arrived at seminorms for the real analytic topology. A new…
The unsatisfactory status of the search for a consistent and predictive quantization of gravity is taken as motivation to study the question whether geometrical laws could be more fundamental than quantization procedures. In such an…
We consider Abelian extensions of global symmetries of the form $A \to G \to K$, with $A$ finite (and similar higher-group structures). For a quantum field theory $\mathcal{T}$ with symmetry $G$, we compare gauging $G$ directly with gauging…
We present a rigorous quantization scheme that yields a quantum field theory in general boundary form starting from a linear field theory. Following a geometric quantization approach in the K\"ahler case, state spaces arise as spaces of…
The basic elements of the geometric approach to a consistent quantization formalism are summarized, with reference to the methods of the old quantum mechanics and the induced representations theory of Lie groups. A possible relationship…
On logarithmic paper some real algebraic curves look like smoothed broken lines. Moreover, the broken lines can be obtained as limits of those curves. The corresponding deformation can be viewed as a quantization, in which the broken line…
We construct the geometric quantization of a compact surface using a singular real polarization coming from an integrable system. Such a polarization always has singularities, which we assume to be of nondegenerate type. In particular, we…
Starting with the generally well accepted opinion that quantizing an arbitrary Hamiltonian system involves picking out some additional structure on the classical phase space (the {\sl shadow} of quantum mechanics in the classical theory),…
In the past year several constructions of non-invertible symmetries in Quantum Field Theory in $d\geq 3$ have appeared. In this paper we provide a unified perspective on these constructions. Central to this framework are so-called theta…
We study conformal field theories (CFTs) and their classifications from a modern perspective based on the abstract algebraic formalism of symmetries or conserved charges, known as symmetry topological field theories (SymTFTs). By studying…
In canonical gravity, general covariance is implemented by hypersurface-deformation symmetries on phase space. The different versions of hypersurface deformations required for full covariance have complicated interplays with one another,…
In this paper we propose a general framework to study the quantum geometry of $\sigma$-models when they are effectively localized to small quantum fluctuations around constant maps. Such effective theories have surprising exact descriptions…
We present a generally covariant approach to quantum mechanics in which generalized positions, momenta and time variables are treated as coordinates on a fundamental "phase-spacetime." We show that this covariant starting point makes…
