We propose a new axiom system for unitary quantum field theories on curved space-time backgrounds, by postulating that the partition function and the correlators extend analytically to a certain domain of complex-valued metrics. Ordinary…
We analyze simple models of classical chaotic open systems and of their quantizations (open quantum maps on the torus). Our models are similar to models recently studied in atomic and mesoscopic physics. They provide a numerical…
Degeneracy points of parameter-dependent Hermitian matrices play a fundamental role in quantum physics, as illustrated by the concept of Berry phase in quantum dynamics, the Weyl semimetals in condensed-matter physics, and the robust…
We present a new family of quantum Weyl algebras where the polynomial part is the quantum analog of functions on homogeneous spaces corresponding to symmetric matrices, skew symmetric matrices, and the entire space of matrices of a given…
Topological strings on toric Calabi--Yau threefolds can be defined non-perturbatively in terms of a free Fermi gas of N particles. Using this approach, we propose a definition of quantum mirror curves as quantum distributions on phase…

We study semi-classical limits of eigenfunctions of a quantized linear hyperbolic automorphism of the torus ("cat map"). For some values of Planck's constant, the spectrum of the quantized map has large degeneracies. Our first goal in this…

Generalised Wigner and Weyl transformations of quantum operators are defined and their properties, as well as those of the algebraic structure induced on the phase-space are studied. Using such transformations, quantum linear evolution…
According to theorems of Shnirelman and followers, in the semiclassical limit the quantum wavefunctions of classically ergodic systems tend to the microcanonical density on the energy shell. We here develop a semiclassical theory that…
This discussion examines recent developments in the theory of a Weyl-like, Cartan geometry with natural Schr\"odinger field behavior proposed previously. In that model, very nearly exactly a coupled Einstein-Maxwell- Schr\"odinger,…
The Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space - the Wigner function - which acts like a probability distribution. In the context of statistical mechanics, this…
We study relevant features of the spectrum of the quantum open baker map. The opening consists of a cut along the momentum $p$ direction of the 2-torus phase space, modelling an open chaotic cavity. We study briefly the classical forward…
Recently proposed quantization in field theory based on an analogue of Hamiltonian formulation which treats space and time on equal footing (the so-called De Donder-Weyl theory) is applied to General Relativity in metric variables. We…
The formalism of classical and quantum mechanics on phase space leads to symplectic and Heisenberg group representations, respectively. The Wigner functions give a representation of the quantum system using classical variables. The…
Let f be a meromorphic self-map on a compact Kaehler manifold whose topological degree is strictly larger than the other dynamical degrees. We show that repelling periodic points are equidistributed with respect to the equilibrium measure…
We discover three-dimensional intertwined Weyl phases, by developing a theory to create topological phases. The theory is based on intertwining existing topological gapped and gapless phases protected by the same crystalline symmetry. The…
For a class of $\mathbb{R}^d$-ations and $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions on the $n$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, we characterize their unique ergodicity and establish a theorem of Weyl type. This result allows us to establish an isomorphism…

We prove a Egorov theorem, or quantum-classical correspondence, for the quantised baker's map, valid up to the Ehrenfest time. This yields a logarithmic upper bound for the decay of the quantum variance, and, as a corollary, a quantum…
