Holomorphic Methods in Mathematical Physics

Course material for mathematical methods of theoretical physics intended for an undergraduate audience.

These are notes from a 15 week course aimed at graduate mathematicians. They provide an essentially self-contained introduction to some of the ideas and terminology of QFT.

This note explains how the two measures used to define the $\mu$-deformed Segal-Bargmann space are natural and essentially unique structures. As is well known, the density with respect to Lebesgue measure of each of these measures involves a Macdonald function. Our primary result is that these densities are the solution of a system of ordinary differential equations which is naturally associated with this theory. We then solve this system and find the known densities as well ...

In this series of lectures directed towards a mainly mathematically oriented audience I try to motivate the use of operator algebra methods in quantum field theory. Therefore a title as ``why mathematicians are/should be interested in algebraic quantum field theory'' would be equally fitting. Besides a presentation of the framework and the main results of local quantum physics these notes may serve as a guide to some frontier research problems in mathematical physics with app...

In this paper we study the quantum evolution in a flat Riemannian manifold. The holomorphic functions are defined on the cotangent bundle of this manifold. We construct Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions in which the scalar product is defined using the exponential map. The quantum evolution is proposed by means of an infinitesimal propagator and the holomorphic Feynman integral is developed via the exponential map. The integration corresponding to each step of the Feynma...

We study systems of holomorphic Hermite functions in the Segal-Bargmann spaces, which are Hilbert spaces of entire functions on the complex Euclidean space, and are determined by the Bargmann-type integral transform on the real Euclidean space. We prove that for any positive parameter which is strictly smaller than the minimum eigenvalue of the positive Hermitian matrix associated with the transform, one can find a generator of holomorphic Hermite functions whose anihilation ...

In these lectures we present a few topics in Quantum Field Theory in detail. Some of them are conceptual and some more practical. They have been selected because they appear frequently in current applications to Particle Physics and String Theory.

These Notes deal with various areas of mathematics, and seek reciprocal combinations, explore mutual relations, ranging from abstract objects to problems in physics.

These are expanded notes of a course on basics of quantum field theory for mathematicians given by the author at MIT.

We present a Riesz-like hyperholomorphic functional calculus for a set of non-commuting operators based on the Clifford analysis. Applications to the quantum field theory are described. Keywords: Functional calculus, Weyl calculus, Riesz calculus, Clifford analysis, quantization, quantum field theory. AMSMSC Primary:47A60, Secondary: 81T10
