Quantum mechanics in fractional and other anomalous spacetimes [PDF]

, 2012
We formulate quantum mechanics in spacetimes with real-order fractional geometry and more general factorizable measures. In spacetimes where coordinates and momenta span the whole real line, Heisenberg's principle is proven and the wave-functions ...

A Model for Topological Fermions [PDF]

, 1999
We introduce a model designed to describe charged particles as stable topological solitons of a field with values on the internal space S^3. These solitons behave like particles with relativistic properties like Lorentz contraction and velocity ...

From BPS spectra of Argyres-Douglas theories to families of 3d TFTs

Journal of High Energy Physics
Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) arise in protected subsectors of supersymmetric quantum field theories, notably in 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories (SCFT) via the Schur sector and in twisted 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 theories via

A novel connection between scalar field theories and quantum mechanics

, 2018
This work deals with scalar field theories and supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The investigation is inspired by a recent result, which shows how to use the reconstruction mechanism to describe two distinct field theories from the very same quantum ...

Twisted Superalgebras and Cohomologies of the N=2 Superconformal Quantum Mechanics

, 2011
We prove that the invariance of the N=2 superconformal quantum mechanics is controlled by subalgebras of a given twisted superalgebra made of 6 fermionic (nilpotent) generators and 6 bosonic generators (including a central charge).

A universe of processes and some of its guises [PDF]

, 2010
Our starting point is a particular `canvas' aimed to `draw' theories of physics, which has symmetric monoidal categories as its mathematical backbone.

Lectures on quantization of gauge systems [PDF]

, 2010
A gauge system is a classical field theory where among the fields there are connections in a principal G-bundle over the space-time manifold and the classical action is either invariant or transforms appropriately with respect to the action of the gauge ...

$\hbar$ as parameter of Minkowski metric in effective theory

, 2009
With the proper choice of the dimensionality of the metric components, the action for all fields becomes dimensionless. Such quantities as the vacuum speed of light c, the Planck constant \hbar, the electric charge e, the particle mass m, the Newton ...

Perturbative Stability and Error-Correction Thresholds of Quantum Codes

PRX Quantum
Topologically ordered phases are stable to local perturbations, and topological quantum error-correcting codes enjoy thresholds to local errors. We connect the two notions of stability by constructing classical statistical mechanics models for decoding ...

Quantum Mechanics and Black Holes in Four-Dimensional String Theory

, 1991
In previous papers we have shown how strings in a two-dimensional target space reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, thanks to an infinite set of conserved quantum numbers, ``W-hair'', associated with topological soliton-like states.
