We present a perturbative construction of interacting quantum field theories on smooth globally hyperbolic (curved) space-times.
We develop a purely local version of the Stückelberg–Bogoliubov–Epstein–Glaser method of renormalization by using techniques
from microlocal analysis. Relying on recent results of Radzikowski, K?hler and the authors about a formulation of a local
spectrum condition in terms of wave front sets of correlation functions of quantum fields on curved space-times, we construct
time-ordered operator-valued products of Wick polynomials of free fields. They serve as building blocks for a local (perturbative)
definition of interacting fields. Renormalization in this framework amounts to extensions of expectation values of time-ordered
products to all points of space-time. The extensions are classified according to a microlocal generalization of Steinmann
scaling degree corresponding to the degree of divergence in other renormalization schemes.
As a result, we prove that the usual perturbative classification of interacting quantum field theories holds also on curved
space-times. Finite renormalizations are deferred to a subsequent paper.
As byproducts, we describe a perturbative construction of local algebras of observables, present a new definition of Wick
polynomials as operator-valued distributions on a natural domain, and we find a general method for the extension of distributions
which were defined on the complement of some surface.

We consider a renormalization group transformation for analytic Hamiltonians in two or more dimensions, and use this transformation to construct invariant tori, as well as
sequences of periodic orbits with rotation vectors approaching that of the invariant torus. The construction of periodic and
quasiperiodic orbits is limited to near-integrable Hamiltonians. But as a first step toward a non-perturbative analysis, we
extend the domain of to include any Hamiltonian for which a certain non-resonance condition holds.

We investigate the electromagnetic duality properties of an Abelian gauge theory on a compact oriented four-manifold by analysing
the behaviour of a generalised partition function under modular transformations of the dimensionless coupling constants. The
true partition function is invariant under the full modular group but the generalised partition function exhibits more complicated
behaviour depending on topological properties of the four-manifold concerned. It is already known that there may be “modular
weights” which are linear combinations of the Euler number and Hirzebruch signature of the four-manifold. But sometimes the
partition function transforms only under a subgroup of the modular group (the Hecke subgroup). In this case it is impossible
to define real spinor wave-functions on the four-manifold. But complex spinors are possible provided the background magnetic
fluxes are appropriately fractional rather than integral.
This gives rise to a second partition function which enables the full modular group to be realised by permuting the two partition
functions, together with a third. Thus the full modular group is realised in all cases. The demonstration makes use of various
constructions concerning integral lattices and theta functions that seem to be of intrinsic interest.

The correlation functions of supersymmetric gauge theories on a four-manifold X can sometimes be expressed in terms of topological invariants of X. We show how the existence of superconformal fixed points in the gauge theory can provide nontrivial information about four-manifold
topology. In particular, in the example of gauge group SU(2) with one doublet hypermultiplet, we derive a theorem relating classical topological invariants such as the Euler character
and signature to sum rules for Seiberg–Witten invariants. A short account of this paper can be found in [1].

We consider 1-D Schr?dinger operators on L
2(R
+) with slowly decaying potentials. Under some conditions on the potential, related to the first integrals of the KdV equation,
we prove that the a.c. spectrum of the operator coincides with the positive semiaxis and the singular spectrum is unstable.
Examples show that for special classes of sparse potentials these results can not be improved.

We obtain the explicit reduction of the Oscillator representation of the symplectic group, on the subgroups of automorphisms of certain vector-valued skew forms | of "Clifford type"-equivalently, of automorphisms of Lie algebras of Heisenberg type. These subgroups are of the form G · \Spin(k), with G a real reductive matrix group, in general not compact, commuting with Spin(k) with finite intersection. The reduction turns out to be free of multiplicity in all the cases studied here, which include some where the factors do not form a Howe pair. If G is maximal compact in G, the restriction to K · \Spin(k) is essentially the action on the symmetric algebra on a space of spinors. The cases when this is multiplicity-free are listed in [R]; our examples show that replacing K by G does make a difference. Our question is motivated to a large extent by the geometric object that comes with such a |: a Fock-space bundle over a sphere, with G acting fiberwise via the oscillator representation. It carries a Dirac operator invariant under G and determines special derivations of the corresponding gauge algebra. 相似文献

We give a new proof of persistence of quasi-periodic, low dimensional elliptic tori in infinite dimensional systems. The
proof is based on a renormalization group iteration that was developed recently in [BGK] to address the standard KAM problem,
namely, persistence of invariant tori of maximal dimension in finite dimensional, near integrable systems. Our result covers
situations in which the so called normal frequencies are multiple. In particular, it provides a new proof of the existence
of small-amplitude, quasi-periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations with periodic boundary conditions.

In a previous work [M], we proved the existence of absolutely continuous invariant measures for contracting Lorenz-like maps,
and constructed Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen measures f or the flows that generate them. Here, we prove stochastic stability for such
one-dimensional maps and use this result to prove that the corresponding flows generating these maps are stochastically stable
under small diffusion-type perturbations, even though, as shown by Rovella [Ro], they are persistent only in a measure theoretical
sense in a parameter space. For the one-dimensional maps we also prove strong stochastic stability in the sense of Baladi
and Viana[BV].

The differential algebra on the fuzzy sphere is constructed by applying Connes' scheme. The U(1) gauge theory on the fuzzy sphere based on this differential algebra is defined. The local U(1) gauge transformation on the fuzzy sphere is identified with the left U(N+1) transformation of the field, where a field is a bimodule over the quantized algebra . The interaction with a complex scalar field is also given.

Let the DRO (Diffeomorphism, Reparametrization, Observer) algebra?DRO(N) be the extension of diff(N)⊕ diff(1) by its four inequivalent Virasoro-like cocycles. Here diff(N) is the diffeomorphism algebra in N-dimensional spacetime and diff(1) describes reparametrizations of trajectories in the space of tensor-valued p-jets. DRO(N) has a Fock module for each p and each representation of gl(N). Analogous representations for gauge algebras (higher-dimensional Kac–Moody algebras) are also given. The reparametrization
symmetry can be eliminated by a gauge fixing procedure, resulting in previously discovered modules. In this process, two DRO(N) cocycles transmute into anisotropic cocycles for diff(N). Thus the Fock modules of toroidal Lie algebras and their derivation algebras are geometrically explained.

Anosov systems are mathematical models for chaotic systems in statistical mechanics and fluid dynamics. Most of these systems
enjoy the property of positive entropy production. We introduce the concept of specific information gain (or specific relative
entropy) h(μ+,μ−) in Anosov systems and prove that it is identical to the entropy production rate e
p
(μ+) defined by Ruelle and Gallavotti in Anosov systems. From this point of view, the entropy production rate e

We consider massless Gaussian fields with covariance related to the Green function of a long range random walk on Êd. These are viewed as Gibbs measures for a linear-quadratic interaction. We establish thermodynamic identities and prove a version of Gibbs' variational principle, showing that translation invariant Gibbs measures are characterized as minimizers of the relative entropy density. We then study the large deviations of the empirical field of a Gibbs measure. We show that a weak large deviation principle holds at the volume order, with rate given by the relative entropy density. 相似文献

We introduce an enhanced multiscale analysis that yields subexponentially decaying probabilities for bad events. For quantum and classical waves in random media, we obtain exponential decay for the resolvent of the corresponding
random operators in boxes of side L with probability higher than 1 − e −
L
ζ, for any 0<ζ<1. The starting hypothesis for the enhanced multiscale analysis only requires the verification of polynomial
decay of the finite volume resolvent, at some sufficiently large scale, with probability bigger than 1 − (d is the dimension). Note that from the same starting hypothesis we get conclusions that are valid for any 0 < ζ < 1. This
is achieved by the repeated use of a bootstrap argument. As an application, we use a generalized eigenfunction expansion to
obtain strong dynamical localization of any order in the Hilbert–Schmidt norm, and better estimates on the behavior of the
eigenfunctions.

It is well known that a measured groupoid G defines a von Neumann algebra W
*(G), and that a Lie groupoid G canonically defines both a C
*-algebra C
*(G) and a Poisson manifold A
*(G). We construct suitable categories of measured groupoids, Lie groupoids, von Neumann algebras, C
*-algebras, and Poisson manifolds, with the feature that in each case Morita equivalence comes down to isomorphism of objects.
Subsequently, we show that the maps G↦W
*(G), G↦C
*(G), and G↦A
*(G) are functorial between the categories in question. It follows that these maps preserve Morita equivalence.

We make a precision test of a recently proposed conjecture relating Chern–Simons gauge theory to topological string theory
on the resolution of the conifold. First, we develop a systematic procedure to extract string amplitudes from vacuum expectation
values (vevs) of Wilson loops in Chern–Simons gauge theory, and then we evaluate these vevs in arbitrary irreducible representations
of SU(N) for torus knots. We find complete agreement with the predictions derived from the target space interpretation of the string
amplitudes. We also show that the structure of the free energy of topological open string theory gives further constraints
on the Chern–Simons vevs. Our work provides strong evidence towards an interpretation of knot polynomial invariants as generating
functions associated to enumerative problems.
