We discuss the notion of causality in Quantum Gravity in the context of sum-over-histories approaches, in the absence therefore of any background time parameter. In the spin foam formulation of Quantum Gravity, we identify the appropriate…
We propose a generalizing gauge-invariant model of propagating torsion which couples to the Maxwell field and to charged particles. As a result we have an Abelian gauge invariant action which leads to a theory with nonzero torsion and which…
Motivated by obtaining a consistent mathematical description for the radiation reaction of point charged particles in linear classical electrodynamics, a theory of generalized higher order tensors and differential forms is introduced. The…
The Proca model is quantized in an open-path dependent representation that generalizes the Loop Representation of gauge theories. The starting point is a gauge invariant Lagrangian that reduces to the Proca Lagrangian when certain gauge is…
A general diffeomorphism invariant SU(2) gauge theory is a gravity theory with two propagating polarizations of the graviton. We develop this description of gravity, in particular for future applications to the perturbative quantization.…
The Feynman propagator used in the conventional in-out formalism in quantum field theory is not a causal propagator as wave packets are propagated virtually instantaneously outside the causal region of the initial state. We formulate a…
We will derive a rigorous real time propagator for the Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanic $L^2$ transition probability amplitude and for the Non-relativistic wave function. The propagator will be explicitly given in terms of the time…
The Gr\"obner basis technique for calculating Feynman diagrams proposed in [O.V. Tarasov, Acta Physica Polonica, v. B29 (1998) 2655] is applied to the two-loop propagator type integrals with arbitrary masses and momentum. We describe the…
The Proca field describes a massive relativistic spin-$1$ particle and was originally formulated in Minkowski spacetime. Here we consider a variety of generalizations in globally hyperbolic spacetimes, including couplings between a number…
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…
Feynman path integrals provide an elegant, classically inspired representation for the quantum propagator and the quantum dynamics, through summing over a huge manifold of all possible paths. From computational and simulational…
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…
Quantum mechanics with a generalized uncertainty principle arises through a representation of the commutator $[\hat{x}, \hat{p}] = i f(\hat{p})$. We apply this deformed quantization to free scalar field theory for $f_\pm =1\pm \beta p^2$.…
An abelian version of standard general relativity in the Cartan-Palatini gauge-like formulation in four dimensions has been introduced. Traditional canonical analysis utilizing similarities to the akin Husain-Kuchar SU(2) version of gravity…
We investigate the possibility of generalizing Gopakumar's microscopic derivation [1] of Witten diagrams in large N free quantum field theory to interacting theories. For simplicity we consider a massless, matrix valued real scalar field…
We examine a large class of scalar quantum field theories where vertices are able to cancel adjacent propagators. These theories are obtained as diffeomorphisms of the field variable of a free field. Their connected correlations functions…
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…
Inspired by the Generalized Proca Theory, we study a vector-tensor model of inflation with massive vector fields and derivative self-interactions. The action under consideration contains a usual Maxwell-like kinetic term, a general…
We extend our new approach for numeric evaluation of Feynman diagrams to integrals that include fermionic and vector propagators. In this initial discussion we begin by deriving the Sinc function representation for the propagators of…
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…
