We examine the variational and conformal structures of higher order theories of gravity which are derived from a metric-connection Lagrangian that is an arbitrary function of the curvature invariants. We show that the constrained first…
We revisit the generalized connection of Double Field Theory. We implement a procedure that allow us to re-write the Double Field Theory equations of motion in terms of geometric quantities (like generalized torsion and non-metricity…
Defects are a useful tool in the study of quantum field theories. This is illustrated in the example of two-dimensional conformal field theories. We describe how defect lines and their junction points appear in the description of symmetries…
An elliptic version of quantum groups is proposed. It comes form the quantization of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov- Bernard equation on the torus. The relation with elliptic IRF models is explained.
A rigorous (and simple) proof is given that there is a one-to-one correspondence between causal anti-deSitter covariant quantum field theories on anti-deSitter space and causal conformally covariant quantum field theories on its conformal…
A covariant description of the canonical theory for interacting classical fields is developed on a space-like hypersurface. An identity invariant under the canonical transformations is obtained. The identity follows a canonical equation in…
The Langlands functoriality conjecture envisaged in the bisemialgebra framework is proved to correspond to the nonorthogonal completely reducible cuspidal representations of the bilinear algebraic semigroups.
Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…
We construct a set of non-rational conformal field theories that consist of deformations of Toda field theory for sl(n). Besides conformal invariance, the theories still enjoy a remnant infinite-dimensional affine symmetry. The case n=3 is…
We consider the coupling of quantum fields to classical gravity in the formalism of ensembles on configuration space, a model that allows a consistent formulation of interacting classical and quantum systems. Explicit calculations show that…
We study conformal field theory on two-dimensional orbifolds and show this to be an effective way to analyze physical effects of geometric singularities with angular deficits. They are closely related to boundaries and cross caps.…
We consider deformations of quantum exterior algebras extended by finite groups. Among these deformations are a class of algebras which we call truncated quantum Drinfeld Hecke algebras in view of their relation to classical Drinfeld Hecke…
We consider the relation between affine Toda field theories (ATFT) and Landau-Ginzburg Lagrangians as alternative descriptions of deformed 2d CFT. First, we show that the two concrete implementations of the deformation are consistent once…
The paper is devoted to the symmetry aspects of 2D nonlocal field theory, which is the simplest deformation of the conformally invariant quantum field theory with one free bosonic field. The inverse problem of representation theory is…
The quantum loop algebra $U_{v}(\mathcal{L}\mathfrak{g})$ was defined as a generalization of the Drinfeld's new realization of the quantum affine algebra to the loop algebra of any Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. It has been shown by…
We prove that the Grothendieck rings of category $\mathcal{C}^{(t)}_Q$ over quantum affine algebras $U_q'(\g^{(t)})$ $(t=1,2)$ associated to each Dynkin quiver $Q$ of finite type $A_{2n-1}$ (resp. $D_{n+1}$) is isomorphic to one of category…
The main result of this paper is the construction of a conformally covariant operator in two dimensions acting on scalar fields and containing fourth order derivatives. In this way it is possible to derive a class of Lagrangians invariant…
We demonstrate in detail how the space of two-dimensional quantum field theories can be parametrized by off-shell states of a free closed string moving in a flat background. The dynamic equation corresponding to the condition of conformal…
Using tangent bundle geometry we construct an equivalent reformulation of classical field theory on flat spacetimes which simultaneously encodes the perspectives of multiple observers. Its generalization to curved spacetimes realizes a new…
Inspired by various quantum gravity approaches, we explore quantum field theory where spacetime exhibits scaling properties and dimensional reduction with changing energy scales, effectively behaving as a multifractal manifold. Working…
