In the paper we begin a description of functional methods of quantum field theory for systems of interacting q-particles. These particles obey exotic statistics and are the q-generalization of the colored particles which appear in many…
We analyze the convergence of the electron density and relative energy with respect to a perfect crystal of a class of volume defects that are compactly contained along one direction while being of infinite extent along the other two using…
Quantization of relativistic point particles coupled to three-dimensional Einstein gravity naturally leads to field theories living on the Lorentz group in their momentum representation. The Lie group structure of momentum space can be…
We argue that QCD belongs to a topologically ordered phase similar to many well-known condensed matter systems with a gap such as topological insulators or superconductors. Our arguments are based on an analysis of the so-called "deformed…
We present a mesoscale description of deformations and defects in thin, flexible sheets with crystalline order, tackling the interplay between in-plane elasticity, out-of-plane deformation, as well as dislocation nucleation and motion. Our…
Application of the so-called refined algebraic quantization scheme for constrained systems to the relativistic particle provides an inner product that defines a unique Fock representation for a scalar field in curved space-time. The…
We present a new variational model for computing the electronic first-order density matrix of a crystalline material in presence of a local defect. A natural way to obtain variational discretizations of this model is to expand the…
A new non-perturbative approach to quantum theory in curved spacetime and to quantum gravity, based on a generalisation of the Wigner equation, is proposed. Our definition for a Wigner equation differs from what have otherwise been…
Quantum groups in general and the quantum Anti-de Sitter group $U_q(so(2,3))$ in particular are studied from the point of view of quantum field theory. We show that if $q$ is a suitable root of unity, there exist finite-dimensional, unitary…
For $\mathfrak g$ a Kac-Moody algebra of affine type, we show that there is an $\text{Aut}\, \mathcal O$-equivariant identification between $\text{Fun}\,\text{Op}_{\mathfrak g}(D)$, the algebra of functions on the space of ${\mathfrak…
We discuss some aspects of the deformed W-algebras W_{q,t}[g]. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the Kac determinant, and discuss the center when t^2 is a primitive k-th root of unity. The relation of the structure of…
The problem of determining maximal ideals in universal affine vertex algebras is difficult for levels beyond admissible, since there are no simple character formulas which can be applied. Here we investigate when certain quotient $\mathcal…
Let $G$ be a subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1})\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ obtained by adding a translation part to a torsion-free discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1})$ dividing a convex cone in the sense of Benoist. We…
Deformations of quantum field theories which preserve Poincar\'e covariance and localization in wedges are a novel tool in the analysis and construction of model theories. Here a general scenario for such deformations is discussed, and an…
We construct an $\epsilon$-deformation of W algebras, corresponding to the additive version of quiver $\text{W}_{q,t^{-1}}$ algebras which feature prominently in the 5d version of the BPS/CFT correspondence and refined topological strings…
A q-deformed two-dimensional phase space is studied as a model for a noncommutative phase space. A lattice structure arises that can be interpreted as a spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry. The eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian that…
We construct a new family of q-deformed coherent states $|z>_q$, where $0 < q < 1$. These states are normalizable on the whole complex plane and continuous in their label $z$. They allow the resolution of unity in the form of an ordinary…

In this article a novel characterization of Bose-Einstein condensates is proposed. Instead of relying on occupation numbers of a few dominant modes, which become macroscopic in the limit of infinite particle numbers, it focuses on the…
We give a realization of quantum affine Lie algebra $U_q(\hat A_{N-1})$ in terms of anyons defined on a two-dimensional lattice, the deformation parameter $q$ being related to the statistical parameter $\nu$ of the anyons by $q =…
