Geometric (Clifford) algebra provides an efficient mathematical language for describing physical problems. We formulate general relativity in this language. The resulting formalism combines the efficiency of differential forms with the…
Familiar formulations of classical and quantum mechanics are shown to follow from a general theory of mechanics based on pure states with an intrinsic probability structure. This theory is developed to the stage where theorems from quantum…
We develop a new approach to geometric quantization using the theory of convergence of metric measure spaces. Given a family of K\"ahler polarizations converging to a non-singular real polarization on a prequantized symplectic manifold, we…
Membranes holomorphically embedded in flat noncompact space are constructed in terms of the degrees of freedom of an infinite collection of 0-branes. To each holomorphic curve we associate infinite-dimensional matrices which are static…
In this article we develop tools to compute the Geometric Quantization of a symplectic manifold with respect to a regular Lagrangian foliation via sheaf cohomology and obtain important new applications in the case of real polarizations. The…
We define theta blocks as products of Jacobi theta functions divided by powers of the Dedekind eta-function and show that they give a powerful new method to construct Jacobi forms and Siegel modular forms, with applications also in lattice…
This review paper is concerned with the generalizations to field theory of the tangent and cotangent structures and bundles that play fundamental roles in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics. The paper…
Properties of four quintic theta functions are developed in parallel with those of the classical Jacobi null theta functions. The quintic theta functions are shown to satisfy analogues of Jacobi's quartic theta function identity and…
I present a method of quantization using cohomology groups extended via coefficient groups of different types. This is possible according to the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT). I also show that by using this method new features of…
We give a local parametric description of all holomorphic hypersurfaces in complex Euclidean and projective spaces with constant index of relative nullity, together with applications. This is a complex analogue to the parametrization for…
Given a partial action $\theta$ of a group on a set with an algebraic structure, we construct a reflector of $\theta$ in the corresponding subcategory of global actions and study the question when this reflector is a globalization. In…
The main goal of this thesis is to quantize the Einstein-Hilbert action extended by the quadratic curvature terms within the canonical quantization approach, thus formulating quantum geometrodynamics of the higher derivative theories. The…
Let $M$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a pre-quantum line bundle $L$. In [9], using $T$-symmetry, we constructed a polarization $\mathcal{P}_{\mathrm{mix}}$ on $M$, which generalizes real polarizations on toric manifolds. In…
The $\beta$ function for a scalar field theory describes the dependence of the coupling constant on the renormalization mass scale. This dependence is affected by the choice of regularization scheme. I explicitly relate the…
In this paper we classify the singular curves whose theta divisors in their generalized Jacobians are algebraic, meaning that they are cut out by polynomial analogs of theta functions. We also determine the degree of an algebraic theta…
It is shown that the equations of relativistic Bohmian mechanics for multiple bosonic particles have a dual description in terms of a classical theory of conformally "curved" space-time. This shows that it is possible to formulate quantum…
We review a notion of completeness in QFT arising from the analysis of basic properties of the set of operator algebras attached to regions. In words, this completeness asserts that the physical observable algebras produced by local degrees…
We present a rigorous and functorial quantization scheme for affine field theories, i.e., field theories where local spaces of solutions are affine spaces. The target framework for the quantization is the general boundary formulation,…
The physical variables of classical thermodynamics occur in conjugate pairs such as pressure/volume, entropy/temperature, chemical potential/particle number. Nevertheless, and unlike in classical mechanics, there are an odd number of such…
We study the bundles of generalized theta functions constructed from moduli spaces of sheaves over abelian surfaces. In degree 0, the splitting type of these bundles is expressed in terms of indecomposable semihomogeneous factors.…
