Gauging the Schwarzian Action
A. Pinzul, A. Stern, Chuang Xu
In this work, we promote the global symmetry of the Schwarzian derivative to a local gauge symmetry. To achieve this, we develop a procedure that potentially can…
Geodesic equation in noncommutative space: a field theory perspective
Carolina Matté Gregory, Tajron JuriÄ, Aleksandr Pinzul
We derive the geodesic equation for point particles propagating in Moyal-type noncommutative spacetimes using a field-theoretic approach based on the quasi-classical limit of the n…
On a non-geometric approach to noncommutative gauge theories
Guilherme Barrocas, Aleksandr Pinzul
In this work, we generalize the non-geometrical construction of gauge theories, due to S. Deser, to a noncommutative setting. We show that in a free theory, along with the usual lo…
On temperature of a diamond
Ravi Mistry, Aleksandr Pinzul
We revisit the definition of the temperature of a causal diamond for the case of a free massless scalar field. The stress is given to the intrinsic, direction-dependent character o…
Embedding Space Approach to JT Gravity
A. Pinzul, A. Stern, Chuang Xu
We present a coordinate-free background space construction of Euclidean Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. It is written as a gauge theory that utilizes the Killing vectors and conformal K…
