We rederive the characters of all unitary irreducible representations of the $(d+1)$-dimensional de Sitter spacetime isometry algebra $\mathfrak{so}(1,d+1)$, and propose a dictionary between those representations and massive or (partially)…
We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations generated during de Sitter inflation in the singleton gravity theory. This theory is composed of a dipole ghost pair in addition to tensor. We obtain the singleton power spectra which…
I here investigate what is arguably the most significant residual challenge for the proposal of phenomenologically viable "DSR deformations" of relativistic kinematics, which concerns the description of composite particles, such as atoms.…
Quantum field theory on d+1-dimensional anti-deSitter space-time admits a re-interpretation as a quantum field theory with conformal symmetry on d-dimensional Minkowski space-time. This conjecture originally emerged from string theory…
After a brief review of the historical development and CLASSICAL properties of the BLACK HOLES, we discuss how our present knowledge of some of their QUANTUM properties shed light on the very concept of ELEMENTARY PARTICLE. As an…
We study the effects of asymptotically anti-de Sitter wormholes in low-energy field theory and give a general prescription for obtaining the local effective interaction terms induced by them. The choice of vacuum for the matter fields…
In the presence of a cosmological constant, interpreted as a purely geometric entity, absence of matter is represented by a de Sitter spacetime. As a consequence, ordinary Poincare' special relativity is no longer valid and must be replaced…
We revisit the problem of building consistent interactions for a multiplet of partially massless spin-2 fields in (anti-)de Sitter space. After rederiving and strengthening the existing no-go result on the impossibility of Yang-Mills type…
Relevant deformations of gravity present an exciting window of opportunity to probe the rigidity of gravity on cosmological scales. For a single-graviton theory, the leading relevant deformation constitutes a graviton mass term. In this…
Some general remarks are made about the quantum theory of scalar fields and the definition of momentum in curved space. Special emphasis is given to field theory in anti-de Sitter space, as it represents a maximally symmetric space-time of…
Lie-type deformations provide a systematic way of generalising the symmetries of modern physics. Deforming the isometry group of Minkowski spacetime through the introduction of a minimal length scale $\ell$ leads to anti de Sitter spacetime…
New fundamental physical theories can, so far a posteriori, be seen as emerging from existing ones via some kind of deformation. That is the basis for Flato's ``deformation philosophy", of which the main paradigms are the physics…
The two-particle models in de Sitter space-time with time-asymmetric retarded-advanced interactions are constructed. Particular cases of the field-type electromagnetic and scalar interactions are considered. The manifestly covariant…
We propose that de-Sitter space-time originates from Gaussian distribution in a quantum harmonic oscillator system. This equation associates with a massless Klein-Gordon equation. We discover that every excited states of quantum oscillator…
Particles propagating in de Sitter spacetime can be described by the topological BF $\SO(4,1)$ theory coupled to point charges. Gravitational interaction between them can be introduced by adding to the action a symmetry breaking term, which…
We investigate how deformations of special relativity in momentum space can be extended to position space in a consistent way, such that the dimensionless contraction between wave-vector and coordinate-vector remains invariant. By using a…
Deformable self-propelled particles provide us with one of the most important nonlinear dissipative systems, which are related, for example, to the motion of microorganisms. It is emphasized that this is a subject of localized objects in…
We consider spherically symmetric Einstein-massless-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant in five dimensions and analyze evolution of small perturbations of anti-de Sitter spacetime using the recently proposed resonant…
We review aspects of certain time-dependent deformations of $AdS/CFT$ containing cosmological singularities and their gauge theory duals. Towards understanding these solutions better, we explore similar singular deformations of de Sitter…
Anti--de Sitter spacetime is important in general relativity and modern field theory. We review its geometrical features and properties of light signals and free particles moving in it. Applying only elementary tools of tensor calculus we…
