The implications of manifestly covariant formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics depending on a scalar evolution parameter, canonically conjugated to the variable mass, is still an unsettled issue. In this work we find a complete set…

The polarized Gowdy ${\bf T}^3$ vacuum spacetimes are characterized, modulo gauge, by a ``point particle'' degree of freedom and a function $\phi$ that satisfies a linear field equation and a non-linear constraint. The quantum Gowdy model…

According to a fundamental result in quantum computing, any unitary transformation on a composite system can be generated using so-called 2-local unitaries that act only on two subsystems. Beyond its importance in quantum computing, this…

The perturbative approach to quantum field theory using retarded functions is extended to noncommutative theories. Unitarity as well as quantized equations of motion are studied and seen to cause problems in the case of space-time…

Unitarity is a difficult concept to implement in canonical quantum gravity because of state non-normalizability and the problem of time. We take a realist approach based on pilot-wave theory to address this issue in the Ashtekar formulation…

We consider the one-loop effective action due to gravitons in a FLRW background with constant epsilon=-(dH/dt)/H^2. By expanding around epsilon=0 (corresponding to an expansion around de Sitter space), we can study how the deviation from de…

In this work, we investigate the relativistic quantum dynamics of spin-0 massive charged particles in a 4D curved space-time, the generalization of a cosmic string space-time. We investigate the Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of…

Current quantum theories of an elementary free particle assume unitary space inversion and anti-unitary time reversal operators. In so doing robust classes of possible theories are discarded. The present work shows that consistent theories…

We develop a theory of the Klein-Gordon equation on curved spacetimes. Our main tool is the method of (non-autonomous) evolution equations on Hilbert spaces. This approach allows us to treat low regularity of the metric, of the…

We treat space and time as bona fide quantum degrees of freedom on an equal footing in Hilbert space. Motivated by considerations in quantum gravity, we focus on a paradigm dealing with linear, first-order Hamiltonian and momentum…

Quantum timeless approaches solve the problem of time by recovering the usual unitary evolution of quantum theory relative to a clock in a stationary quantum Universe. For some Hamiltonians of the Universe, such as those including an…

Quantum field theory in curved space-times is a well developed area in mathematical physics which has had important phenomenological applications to the very early universe. However, it is not commonly appreciated that on time dependent…

We advocate that the dual picture of spacetime noncommutativity , i.e. the existence of a curved momentum space, could be a way out to solve some of the open conceptual problems in the field, such as the basis dependence of observables. In…

Before we ask what the quantum gravity theory is, it is a legitimate quest to formulate a robust quantum field theory in curved spacetime (QFTCS). Several conceptual problems, especially unitarity loss (pure states evolving into mixed…

In this paper we study the quantisation of scalar field theory in $\kappa$-deformed space-time. Using a quantisation scheme that use only field equations, we derive the quantisation rules for deformed scalar theory, starting from the…

We apply the linked cluster expansion as well as the quench action approach to study the time evolution of one-point functions after a quantum quench in integrable field theories. We argue that the relaxation towards the stationary value…

It is found that de-Sitter spacetime, the constant-curvature matter-free solution of the Einstein equations with a positive cosmological constant, becomes classically unstable due to the dynamic effects of a certain type of vector field…

One of the axioms of quantum field theory is the property of unitarity of the evolution operator. However, if one considers the quantum electrodynamics in the external field in the leading order of perturbation theory, one will find that…

We are studying the dynamics of a one-dimensional field in a non-commutative Euclidean space. The non-commutative space we consider is the one that emerges in the context of three dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity: it is a deformation…

We consider the unitary time evolution of a one-dimensional quantum system which is in a stationary state for negative times and then undergoes a sudden change (quench) of a parameter of its Hamiltonian at t=0. For systems possessing a…
