Recent conjectures of the c-theorem in four and higher dimensions have suggested that the coefficient of the Euler characteristic in the trace anomaly could measure the degrees of freedom in field theory and decrease along the…

Static, spherically symmetric solutions to the semi-classical Einstein equation are studied, including the effect of the quantum energy-momentum tensor for conformal matters with 4D Weyl anomaly. Through both perturbative and…

In this work, corrections for the Weyl law and Weyl conjecture in d dimensions are obtained and effects related to the polarization and area term are analyzed. The derived formalism is applied on the quasithermodynamics of the…

We study the spectral asymptotics of wave equations on certain compact spacetimes where some variant of the Weyl asymptotic law is valid. The simplest example is the spacetime $S^1 \times S^2$. For the Laplacian on $S^1 \times S^2$ the Weyl…

We use the method of Weyl-gauging in the determination of the Wess-Zumino conformal anomaly action, to show that in any even ($d = 2 k$) dimensions all the hierarchy of correlation functions involving traces of the energy-momentum tensor is…

The Weyl-Heisenberg symmetries originate from translation invariances of various manifolds viewed as phase spaces, e.g. Euclidean plane, semi-discrete cylinder, torus, in the two-dimensional case, and higher-dimensional generalisations. In…

We study particular classes of states on the Weyl algebra $\mathcal{W}$ associated with a symplectic vector space $S$ and on the von Neumann algebras generated in representations of $\mathcal{W}$. Applications in quantum physics require an…

Weyl conformal geometry is a gauge theory of scale invariance that naturally brings together the Standard Model (SM) and Einstein gravity. The SM embedding in this geometry is possible without new degrees of freedom beyond SM and Weyl…

We show that conformal Chern-Simons gravity in three dimensions has various holographic descriptions. They depend on the boundary conditions on the conformal equivalence class and the Weyl factor, even when the former is restricted to…

We argue that the Weyl coordinates and the rod-structure employed to construct static axisymmetric solutions in higher dimensional Einstein gravity can be generalized to the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. As a concrete application of the…

We review the Weyl-Wigner formulation of quantum mechanics in phase space. We discuss the concept of Narcowich-Wigner spectrum and use it to state necessary and sufficient conditions for a phase space function to be a Wigner distribution.…

We apply the Weyl method, as sanctioned by Palais' symmetric criticality theorems, to obtain those -highly symmetric -geometries amenable to explicit solution, in generic gravitational models and dimension. The technique consists of…

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for the Einstein equations in a first-order generalized harmonic formulation. We impose boundary conditions that preserve the constraints and control the incoming gravitational…

It is an old idea of ours (H. B. "Nielsen Dual Models" section 6 "Catastrophe Theory Program" Scottish University Summer school 1976) that a most general material with only translation symmetry, but otherwise no symmetries should…

We investigate Weyl anomalies on a curved world sheet to second order in a weak field expansion. Using a local version of the exact renormalization group equations, we obtain nonperturbative results for the tachyon/graviton/dilaton system.…

In this work we present a derivation of Dirac's equation in a curved space-time starting from a Weyl-invariant action principle in 4+K dimensions. The Weyl invariance of Dirac's equation (and of Quantum Mechanics in general) is made…

A new 8-dim conformal gauging solves the auxiliary field problem and eliminates unphysical size change from Weyl's electromagnetic theory. We derive the Maurer-Cartan structure equations and find the zero curvature solutions for the…

We consider the Weyl-Dirac theory within the framework of the weak field approximation and show that the resulting gravitational potential differs from that of Newtonian by a repulsive correction term increasing with distance. The scale of…

We consider a gravitational model in a Weyl-Cartan space-time, in which the Weitzenb\"{o}ck condition of the vanishing of the sum of the curvature and torsion scalar is also imposed. Moreover, a kinetic term for the torsion is also included…

The first purpose of this article is to provide conditions for a bounded operator in $L^2(\R^n)$ to be the Weyl (resp. anti-Wick) quantization of a bounded continuous symbol on $\R^{2n}$. Then, explicit formulas for the Weyl (resp.…
