Gauge theories on deformed spaces.

Blaschke, Daniel N., Kronberger, Erwin, Sedmik, René I.P., Wohlgenannt, Michael (2010)

SIGMA. Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications [electronic only]

Gerstenhaber and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras; algebraic, geometric, and physical aspects

Claude Roger (2009)

Archivum Mathematicum

We shall give a survey of classical examples, together with algebraic methods to deal with those structures: graded algebra, cohomologies, cohomology operations. The corresponding geometric structures will be described(e.g., Lie algebroids), with particular emphasis on supergeometry, odd supersymplectic structures and their classification. Finally, we shall explain how BV-structures appear in Quantum Field Theory, as a version of functional integral quantization.

Global Waves with Non-Positive Energy in General Relativity

Bachelot, Alain (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Lxx, 35Pxx, 81Uxx, 83Cxx.The theory of the waves equations has a long history since M. Riesz and J. Hadamard. It is impossible to cite all the important results in the area, but we mention the authors related with our work: J. Leray [34] and Y. Choquet-Bruhat [9] (Cauchy problem), P. Lax and R. Phillips [33] (scattering theory for a compactly supported perturbation), L. H¨ ormander [27] and J-M. Bony [7] (microlocal analysis). In all these domains, V. Petkov has...

Gravity, strings, modular and quasimodular forms

P. Marios Petropoulos, Pierre Vanhove (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Modular and quasimodular forms have played an important role in gravity and string theory. Eisenstein series have appeared systematically in the determination of spectrums and partition functions, in the description of non-perturbative effects, in higher-order corrections of scalar-field spaces, ...The latter often appear as gravitational instantons i.e. as special solutions of Einstein’s equations. In the present lecture notes we present a class of such solutions in four dimensions, obtained by...
