The general formalism of the free Dirac fermions on spatially flat $(1+3)$-dimensional Friedmann-Lema\^ itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes is developed in momentum representation. The mode expansions in terms of the fundamental spinors…
The Feynman propagator for a free bosonic scalar field on the discrete spacetime of a causal set is presented. The formalism includes scalar field operators and a vacuum state which define a scalar quantum field theory on a causal set. This…
The propagators of the Dirac fermions on the expanding portion of the (1+3)-dimensional de Sitter spacetime are considered as mode sums in momentum representation with a fixed vacuum of Bunch-Davies type. The principal result reported here…
In this master thesis a configuration space method presented by C. Dullemond and E. van Beveren for computing all propagators of a scalar field (Wightman, Hadamard and Schwinger functions,retarded, advanced and Feynman propagator) is…
We first construct generalized Riemann-normal coordinates by using autoparallels, instead of geodesics, in an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan spacetime. With the aid of generalized Riemann-normal coordinates and their associated orthonormal…
A generalized canonical formulation of the theory of the electromagnetic Fokker interaction for a system of two particles is proposed. The functional integral on the generalized phase space is defined as the initial one in quantum theory.…
Given that the free massive scalar propagator in 2 + 1 dimensional Euclidean space is $D(x-y)=\frac{1}{4\pi \rho} 0.25cm e^{-m \rho} $ with $\rho^2=(x-y)^2$ we present the counterpart of $D(x-y)$ in curved space with a suitably modified…
The propagator of the discrete Schr\"odinger equation is computed and its properties are revealed through a Feynman path summation in discrete space. Initial data problems such as diffraction in discrete space and continuous time are…
We study the spin factor problem both in $3+1$ and $2+1$ dimensions which are essentially different for spin factor construction. Doing all Grassmann integrations in the corresponding path integral representations for Dirac propagator we…
We have obtained propagators in the position space as an expansion over Landau levels for the charged scalar particle, fermion, and massive vector boson in a constant external magnetic field. The summation terms in the resulting expressions…
The renormalized Feynman propagator for a scalar field in the background of a cosmic dispiration (a disclination plus a screw dislocation) is derived, opening a window to investigate vacuum polarization effects around a cosmic string with…
The symmetries of a scalar field theory in multifractional spacetimes are analyzed. The free theory realizes the Poincar\'e algebra, and the associated symmetries are modifications of ordinary translations and Lorentz transformations. In…
We construct the Feynman propagator for Dirac fermions on anti-de Sitter space-time and present an analytic expression for the bi-spinor of parallel transport. We then renormalise the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor and…
By appeal to Distribution Theory we discuss in rigorous fashion, without appealing to {\bf any conjecture} (as usually done by other authors), the boundary-bulk propagators for the scalar field, both in the non-massive and massive cases.…
In previous work, a lattice scalar propagator was rigorously defined in $d=1$ flat space and shown to equal the known Klein-Gordon propagator of QFT. This work generalizes this lattice propagator to manifolds whose universal cover is the…
Here we examine the propagation of relativistic fields in spacetime using the viewpoint applied to derive the Rayleigh--Sommerfeld diffraction integral in three--dimensional space. We use this theory to find the propagators for both the…
In a spacetime with no global timelike Killing vector, we do not have a natural choice for the vacuum state of matter fields, leading to an ambiguity in defining the Feynman propagators. In this paper, taking the vacuum state to be the…
We develop a theory of Feynman propagators for the massive Klein--Gordon equation with asymptotically static perturbations. Building on our previous work on the causal propagators, we employ a framework based on propagation of singularities…
Recently quantum walks have been considered as a possible fundamental description of the dynamics of relativistic quantum fields. Within this scenario we derive the analytical solution of the Weyl walk in 2+1 dimensions. We present a…
We construct the retarded Green function and the Hadamard function in the Lorentzian (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime for the Poincar\'e coordinate by performing the mode integration directly. We explore the structure of…
