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…
We show that measure theoretical results concerning the Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure in the space of generalized connections have direct analogues in the context of the Bohr compactification of the line and associated Haar measure. We…
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,…
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…
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…
In this paper we study the relationship between three compactifications of the moduli space of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a fixed Hermitian vector bundle over a projective algebraic manifold of arbitrary dimension. Via the…
We study the deformation theory of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system on a principal bundle with a compact structure group over a compact manifold. We first construct, as an application of the general slice theorem of Diez and Rudolph, a smooth…
This paper is a continuation of our work on the functional-analytic core of the classical Furstenberg-Zimmer theory. We introduce and study (in the framework of lattice-ordered spaces) the notions of total order-boundedness and uniform…
Much of the work in loop quantum gravity and quantum geometry rests on a mathematically rigorous integration theory on spaces of distributional connections. Most notably, a diffeomorphism invariant representation of the algebra of basic…
It is proven that the physical measure for the two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory is purely singular with respect to the kinematical Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure. For this, an explicit decomposition of the gauge orbit space into supports of…
The Tamari lattice and the associahedron provide methods of measuring associativity on a line. The real moduli space of marked curves captures the space of such associativity. We consider a natural generalization by considering the moduli…
In this paper we consider the classification problem of extensions of Yang-Mills-type (YMT) theories. For us, a YMT theory differs from the classical Yang-Mills theories by allowing an arbitrary pairing on the curvature. The space of YMT…
A manifestly diffeomorphism invariant extension of Einstein gravity is constructed, which includes singular metrics, and whose ADM formulation is Ashtekar's gravity. The latter is shown to be locally equivalent to the covariant theory. It…
We prove that the Yang-Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two-dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a…
We analyze a recent proposal to map a massless scalar field theory onto a Yang-Mills theory at classical level. It is seen that this mapping exists at a perturbative level when the expansion is a gradient expansion. In this limit the…
This paper is dedicated to prove that the space of circle expanding maps of degree 2 preserving Lebesgue measure is an arc-connected space homeomorphic to an infinite-dimensional Lie group whose fundamental group is $\mathbb{Z}$. The…
A distance function on the set of physical equivalence classes of Yang-Mills configurations considered by Feynman and by Atiyah, Hitchin and Singer is studied for both the $2+1$ and $3+1$-dimensional Hamiltonians. This set equipped with…
We introduce a framework of structural approximation to represent Lorentz-invariant Minkowski space-time as the limit of finite cyclic lattices, each equipped with the action of a finite quasi-Lorentz group. This construction provides a…
We classify extended Abelian Chern-Simons theories with gauge group $U(1)^n$ as extended $(2+1)$-dimensional topological quantum field theories. For an even integral nondegenerate lattice $(\Lambda,K)$, let $(G_K,q_K)$ denote its…
The status of several representative gauge theories on various quantum space-times, mainly focusing on Yang-Mills type extensions together with a few matrix model formulations is overviewed. The common building blocks are derivation based…
