Theories with generalised conformal structure contain a dimensionful parameter, which appears as an overall multiplicative factor in the action. Examples of such theories are gauge theories coupled to massless scalars and fermions with…

We built up a explicit realization of (0+1)-dimensional q-deformed superspace coordinates as operators on standard superspace. A q-generalization of supersymmetric transformations is obtained, enabling us to introduce scalar superfields and…

In the first part of the thesis we focus on local symmetries. We review a self-consistent framework that we employed in order to discuss the dynamics of the theories of interest. Its merit lies in that we can make the symmetry group act…

Let $\{S_i\}_{i\in \Lambda}$ be a finite contracting affine iterated function system (IFS) on ${\Bbb R}^d$. Let $(\Sigma,\sigma)$ denote the two-sided full shift over the alphabet $\Lambda$, and $\pi:\Sigma\to {\Bbb R}^d$ be the coding map…

In this paper we analyze the quantum homological invariants (the Poincar\'e polynomials of the $\mathfrak{sl}_N$ link homology). In the case when the dimensions of homologies of appropriate topological spaces are precisely known, the…

We define and develop a framework to understand functional integrals as countable families of Banach-valued Haar integrals on locally compact topological groups. The definition forgoes the goal of constructing a genuine measure on an…

We study the problem of how to derive conformal symmetry in the framework of quantum gravity. We start with a generic gravitational theory which is invariant under both the general coordinate transformation (GCT) and Weyl transformation (or…

In this note, we present an alternative representation of the conformal block with external scalars in general spacetime dimensions in terms of a finite summation over Appell fourth hypergeometric function ${\bf{F}}_4$. We also construct…

The Hamiltonian dynamics of \(2 + 1\) dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) is reformulated in gauge invariant, geometric variables, as in earlier work on the \(3 + 1\) dimensional case. Physical states in electric field…

This paper addresses problems in functional metric geometry that arise in the study of data such as signals recorded on geometric domains or on the nodes of weighted networks. Datasets comprising such objects arise in many domains of…

(This is a report for the Proceedings of ``Journees Relativistes 1993'' written in September 1993. Containes a short description of the results published elsewhere in the joint paper with A. Ashtekar) Integral calculus on the space of gauge…

(I.) We consider generalizations of an iterated function system and the associated Markov operators. A Markov operator, defined on the space of (deficient) topological measures on a locally compact space, is an infinite convex linear…

The path-integral measure of linearized gravity around a saddle-point background with the cosmological term is considered in order to study the conformal rotation prescription proposed by Gibbons, Hawking and Perry. It is also argued that…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the gauge symmetry of classical field theories in integral formalism. A gauge invariant theory is defined in terms of the invariance of the physical observables under the coordinate…

Integration is the final key step when turning an infinitesimal argument into a result applicable to quantities of finite size. Conceptually, it is about combining infinitesimal contributions to a finite whole. We make a first step towards…

This work investigates the geometrical properties of self-gravitating $N$-body systems from the perspective established by Henri Poincar\'e and Albert Einstein concerning the operational nature of measured geometry. Utilizing recent…

The geometric concept of geodesic completeness depends on the choice of the metric field or "metric frame". We develop a frame-invariant concept of "generalised geodesic completeness" or "time completeness". It is based on the notion of…

A geometric approach to integrability and reduction of dynamical system is developed from a modern perspective. The main ingredients in such analysis are the infinitesimal symmetries and the tensor fields that are invariant under the given…

We initiate a systematic study of intrinsic dimensional versions of classical functional inequalities which capture refined properties of the underlying objects. We focus on model spaces: Euclidean space, Hamming cube, and manifolds of…

The ultimate goal of our book is to present a unified approach to the dynamics, ergodic theory, and geometry of elliptic functions from $\C$ to $\oc$. We consider elliptic functions as a most regular class of transcendental meromorphic…
