An outline is given of a recently discovered technique for building a quantum effective action that is completely independent of gauge-fixing choices and ghost determinants. One makes maximum use of the geometry and fibre-bundle structure…
We discuss aspects of non-perturbative unitarity in quantum field theory. The additional ghost degrees of freedom arising in "truncations" of an effective action at a finite order in derivatives could be fictitious degrees of freedom. Their…
We present a new point of view on the quantization of the massive gravitational field, namely we use exclusively the quantum framework of the second quantization. The Hilbert space of the many-gravitons system is a Fock space ${\cal…
Vacuum entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum field theory exhibiting rich structure that is not completely understood. Here, we provide a complete characterization of the entanglement between two bounded spacelike-separated…
We review some of the recent results which can be useful for better understanding of the problem of stability of vacuum and in general classical solutions in higher derivative quantum gravity. The fourth derivative terms in the purely…
Parallels between the concepts of symmetry, supersymmetry and (recently introduced) PT-symmetry are reviewed and discussed, with particular emphasis on the new insight in quantum theory which is rendered possible by their combined use.
A simple and self-contained treatment of the superstring BRST no-ghost theorem at non-zero momentum and arbitrary picture number is presented. We prove by applying the spectral sequence that the absolute BRST cohomology is isomorphic to two…
We present unitarily represented supersymmetric canonical commutation relations which are subsequently used to canonically quantize massive and massless chiral,antichiral and vector fields. The massless fields, especially the vector one,…

A simpler method of quantization is given for massive gauge theories. This method gives the same results as those of the conventional massive gauge theory with ghost and Higgs fields under the Higgs mass. Besides, we point out physical…
We review and develop the formalism of ghost number cohomologies, outlined in our previous work, to classify the quantum states of M-theory. We apply this formalism to the matrix formulation of M-theory to obtain NSR superstring action from…
A new approach is suggested which allows to describe phenomenologically arbitrary topologies of the Universe. It consists in a generalizaton of third quantization. This quantization is carried out for the case of asymptotic closeness to a…
We present a Fock quantization with unitary dynamics for the massless scalar field in de Sitter spacetime.
We adress the problem of Fock space representations of (free) multiplet component fiels encountered in supersymmetric quantum field theory insisting on positivity and causality. We look in detail on the scalar and Majorana components of the…
We quantise integrable point-particle systems with opposite-sign kinetic terms and nontrivial interactions. Using methods from separability theory, we show that previously determined classical stability conditions also imply discrete…
We formulate the Gupta-Bleuler canonical, covariant and gauge invariant supersymmetric quantization of the supersymmetric (massless) vector field. Our main tool is the recently introduced Hilbert-Krein structure of the N=1 superspace.
We investigate the non-perturbative quantization of phantom and ghost degrees of freedom by relating their representations in definite and indefinite inner product spaces. For a large class of potentials, we argue that the same physical…
We consider the simplest nontrivial supersymmetric quantum mechanical system involving higher derivatives. We unravel the existence of additional bosonic and fermionic integrals of motion forming a nontrivial algebra. This allows one to…
We investigate the details of the canonical quantization of effective quantum field theories in anti-de Sitter spacetime, emphasizing the stability of the quantum vacuum. We take the scalar and Maxwell fields as examples. For the…
We discuss the quantum-mechanical scattering of a massless scalar field on a $\delta$-potential in a ghost-free theory and obtain analytic solutions for the scattering coefficients. Due to the non-locality of the ghost-free theory the…
