Equivariant Localization in Stochastic Quantization and Quenched Matrix Models
Levent Akant
It is shown that Parisi-Sourlas supersymmetry of stochastic quantization is a Cartan model of equivariant cohomology. Equivariant cohomological structure of stochastic quantization…

Deformation Quantization of Odd Dimensional anti-de Sitter Spaces as Contact Manifolds
Levent Akant
We quantize odd dimensional anti-de Sitter spaces by applying the method of deforming contact manifolds proposed by Rajeev. The construction in the present paper consists of the id…

Equivariant Symplectic Geometry of Gauge Fixing in Yang-Mills Theory
Levent Akant
The Faddeev-Popov gauge fixing in Yang-Mills theory is interpreted as equivariant localization. It is shown that the Faddeev-Popov procedure amounts to a construction of a symplect…
