چکیده
The fundamental laws of physics can be derived from the requirement of invariance under suitable classes of transformations on the one hand, and from the need for a well-posed mathematical theory on the other hand. As a part of this programme, the present paper shows under which conditions the introduction of pseudo-differential boundary operators in one-loop Euclidean quantum gravity is compatible both with their invariance under in-finitesimal diffeomorphisms and with the requirement of a strongly elliptic theory. Suitable assumptions on the kernel of the boundary operator make it therefore possible to overcome problems resulting from the choice of purely local boundary conditions.

An integral representation of Boundary quantum
We study boundary quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations associated with quantum affine symmetry Uq(ŝln). We consider the case where the deformation parameter q satisfies |q| = 1, and the difference parameter λ > 0. We give an integral representation of boundary quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. Our approach is based on the free field realizations of the vertex operators and the bound...
متن کاملBoundary Operators in Quantum Field Theory
When quantum fields are studied on manifolds with boundary, the corresponding one-loop quantum theory for bosonic gauge fields with linear covariant gauges needs the assignment of suitable boundary operators for elliptic differential operators of Laplace type. It is here shown that, on requiring that the full boundary operator should be a projector, at least two sets of such operators are found...
متن کاملSome Boundary Effects in Quantum Field Theory *
We have constructed a quantum field theory in a finite box, with periodic boundary conditions, using the hypothesis that particles living in a finite box are created and/or annihilated by the creation and/or annihilation operators, respectively, of a quantum harmonic oscillator on a circle. An expression for the effective coupling constant is obtained showing explicitly its dependence on the di...

We consider two calculi of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with fibered boundary: Mazzeo’s edge calculus, which has as local model the operators associated to products of closed manifolds with asymptotically hyperbolic spaces, and the φ calculus of Mazzeo and the second author, which is similarly modeled on products of closed manifolds with asymptotically Euclidean spaces. We construc...
متن کاملSemiclassical Strings on AdS 5 × S 5 / Z M and Operators in Orbifold Field Theories
We show agreements, at one-loop level of field theory, between energies of semiclassical string states on AdS 5 ×S 5 /Z M and anomalous dimensions of operators in N = 0, 1, 2 orbifold field theories originating from N = 4 SYM. On field theory side, one-loop anomalous dimension matrices can be regarded as Hamiltonians of spin chains with twisted boundary conditions. These are solvable by Bethe a...
