Well known methods of measure theory on infinite dimensional spaces are used to study physical properties of measures relevant to quantum field theory. The difference of typical configurations of free massive scalar field theories with…
Properties of the space $\Ab$ of generalized connections in the Ashtekar framework are investigated. First a construction method for new connections is given. The new parallel transports differ from the original ones only along paths that…
This review is devoted to measure theoretical methods in the canonical quantization of scalar field theories. We present in some detail the canonical quantization of the free scalar field. We study the measures associated with the free…
It is known that the $k$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on a $k$-dimensional submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is closely related to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that the Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure on the space of…
We show that the Ashtekar-Isham extension of the classical configuration space of Yang-Mills theories (i.e. the moduli space of connections) is (topologically and measure-theoretically) the projective limit of a family of finite dimensional…
A positive, diffeomorphism-invariant generalized measure on the space of metrics of a two-dimensional smooth manifold is constructed. We use the term generalized measure analogously with the generalized measures of Ashtekar and Lewandowski…
Free scalar field theory on a flat spacetime can be cast into a generally covariant form known as parametrised field theory in which the action is a functional of the scalar field as well as the embedding variables which describe arbitrary,…
We show that the Feynman path integral together with the Schr\"odinger representation gives rise to a rigorous and functorial quantization scheme for linear and affine field theories. Since our target framework is the general boundary…
We explore the quantization of a $(1+1)$-dimensional inhomogeneous scalar field theory in which Poincar\'{e} symmetry is explicitly broken. We show the `classical equivalence' between a scalar field theory on curved spacetime background and…
We investigate the asymptotic growth of the canonical measures on the fibers of morphisms between vector spaces over local fields of arbitrary characteristic. For non-archimedean local fields we use a version of the {\L}ojasiewicz…
In order to test the canonical quantization programme for general relativity we introduce a reduced model for a real sector of complexified Ashtekar gravity which captures important properties of the full theory. While it does not…
The properties of the space $\A$ of regular connections as a subset of the space $\Ab$ of generalized connections in the Ashtekar framework are studied. For every choice of compact structure group and smoothness category for the paths it is…
Hardy's theorem states that the hidden variables of any realistic theory of quantum measurement, whose predictions agree with ordinary quantum theory, must have a preferred Lorentz frame. This presents the conflict between special…
We investigate the effect of planar univalent harmonic mappings on the Lebesgue measure of measurable sets in the complex plane. Motivated by Problem 3.25 of Koh and Kovalev (HQM2010), we establish sharp quantitative area distortion…
We prove lower bounds for the entropy of limit measures associated to non-degenerate sequences of eigenfunctions on locally symmetric spaces of non-positive curvature. In the case of certain compact quotients of the space of positive…
The notion of a measure on the space of connections modulo gauge transformations that is invariant under diffeomorphisms of the base manifold is important in a variety of contexts in mathematical physics and topology. At the formal level,…
Let P -> M be a principal G-bundle. Using techniques from the loop representation of gauge theory, we construct well-defined substitutes for ``Lebesgue measure'' on the space A of connections on P and for ``Haar measure'' on the group Ga of…
In a paper of Ashtekar and Campiglia, residual diffeomorphisms have been used to single out the standard representation of the reduced holonomy-flux algebra in homogeneous loop quantum cosmology (LQC). We show that, in the homogeneous…
We study the hybrid quantization of the linearly polarized Gowdy $T^3$ model with a massless scalar field with the same symmetries as the metric. For simplicity, we quantize its restriction to the model with local rotational symmetry. Using…
We discuss the problem of canonical quantization of electromagnetic field in the Schwarzschild spacetime. It is shown that a consistent procedure of canonical quantization of the field can be carried out without taking into account the…
