We discuss massive scalar field with conformal coupling in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) Universe of special type with constant electromagnetic field. Treating an external gravitational-electromagnetic background exactly, at first time…

We consider quantum theory of fields \phi defined on a D dimensional manifold (bulk) with an interaction V(\phi) concentrated on a d<D dimensional surface (brane). Such a quantum field theory can be less singular than the one in d…

It has been recently shown that a certain non-topological spin foam model can be obtained from the Feynman expansion of a field theory over a group. The field theory defines a natural ``sum over triangulations'', which removes the cut off…

In this paper it is shown that an i phi^3 field theory is a physically acceptable field theory model (the spectrum is positive and the theory is unitary). The demonstration rests on the perturbative construction of a linear operator C,…

We propose a new systematic approach that allows one to derive the spin foam (state sum) model of a theory starting from the corresponding classical action functional. It can be applied to any theory whose action can be written as that of…

We study quantum mechanics in the stochastic formulation, using the functional integral approach. The noise term enters the classical action as a local contribution of anticommuting fields. The partition function is not invariant under…

We investigate the one-loop effective action for a test scalar field in a general Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background, specifically focusing on quantum corrections up to the second order in the interaction strength. By…

We study a non-local scalar quantum field theory in flat spacetime derived from the dynamics of a scalar field on a causal set. We show that this non-local QFT contains a continuum of massive modes in any dimension. In 2 dimensions the…

We treat a relativistically moving particle interacting with a quantum field from an open system viewpoint of quantum field theory by the method of influence functionals or closed-time-path coarse-grained effective actions. The particle…

Till now, the foundation of quantum physics is still mysterious. To explore the mysteries in the foundation of quantum physics, people always take it for granted that quantum processes must be some types of fields/objects on a rigid space.…

We discuss the construction of a scalar field theory with momentum space given by a coset. By introducing a generalized Fourier transform, we show how the dual scalar field theory actually lives in Snyder's space-time. As a side-product we…

A new approach to constructing the noncommutative scalar field theory is presented. Not only between x_i and p_j, we impose commutation relations between x_is as well as p_js, and give a new representation of x_i,p_js. We carry out both…

The effective action for quantum fields on a $d$-dimensional spacetime can be computed using a non local expansion in powers of the curvature. We show explicitly that, for conformal fields and up to quadratic order in the curvature, the non…

Following the idea of a field quantization of gravity as realized in group field theory, we construct a minisuperspace model where the wavefunction of canonical quantum cosmology (either Wheeler-DeWitt or loop quantum cosmology) is promoted…

The phase structure of the scalar field theory with arbitrary powers of the gradient operator and a local non-analytic potential is investigated by the help of the RG in Euclidean space. The RG equation for the generating function of the…

We propose a construction of actions of a quantum gauge field theory on a noncommutative space-time, based on a Fourier transform on the Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts group. This approach leads to a functional integral representation of the…

We study a class of perturbative scalar quantum field theories where dynamics is characterized by Lorentz-invariant or Lorentz-breaking non-local operators of fractional order and the underlying spacetime has a varying spectral dimension.…

We discuss the nonlocal nature of quantum mechanics and the link with relativistic quantum mechanics such as formulated by quantum field theory. We use here a nonlocal quantum field theory (NLQFT) which is finite, satisfies Poincar\'e…

We construct the covariant nonlocal action for recently suggested long-distance modifications of gravity theory motivated by the cosmological constant and cosmological acceleration problems. This construction is based on the special…

It is shown that a recently proposed model for the gravitational interaction in non relativistic quantum mechanics is the instantaneous action at a distance limit of a field theoretic model containing a negative energy field. It reduces to…
