A simple construction of Heat Kernels and conformal anomalies via Fedosov deformation quantization
Thomas Basile, Evgeny Skvortsov
We propose a new approach to the systematic computation of the heat-kernel expansion and, in particular, of conformal anomalies, based on Fedosov deformation quantization. The appr…
Closed string trajectories from a new "tiling"
Thomas Basile, Chrysoula Markou
Based on an efficient technology for the excavation of entire open string trajectories of physical states, we propose an algorithmic method of constructing the largely unknown clos…
Reframing classical mechanics: An AKSZ sigma model perspective
Thomas Basile, Nicolas Boulanger, Arghya Chattopadhyay
The path-integral re-formulation due to E. Gozzi, M. Regini, M. Reuter and W. D. Thacker of Koopman and von Neumann's original operator formulation of a classical Hamiltonian syste…
Massless chiral fields in six dimensions
Thomas Basile
Massless chiral fields of arbitrary spin in six spacetime dimensions, also known as higher spin singletons, admit a simple formulation in terms of …
