Differential cohomology and locally covariant quantum field theory (2016)
Journal Article
Becker, C., Schenkel, A., & Szabo, R. J. (2017). Differential cohomology and locally covariant quantum field theory. Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 29(1), Article 1750003. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0129055X17500039

We study differential cohomology on categories of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. The Lorentzian metric allows us to define a natural transformation whose kernel generalizes Maxwell's equations and fits into a restriction of the fundamental...

Poisson algebras for non-linear field theories in the Cahiers topos (2016)
Journal Article
Benini, M., & Schenkel, A. (2017). Poisson algebras for non-linear field theories in the Cahiers topos. Annales Henri Poincaré, 18(4), 1435-1464. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00023-016-0533-2

We develop an approach to construct Poisson algebras for non-linear scalar field theories that is based on the Cahiers topos model for synthetic differential geometry. In this framework the solution space of the field equation carries a natural smoot... Read More about Poisson algebras for non-linear field theories in the Cahiers topos.

Working with Nonassociative Geometry and Field Theory (2016)
Journal Article

We review aspects of our formalism for differential geometry on noncommutative and nonassociative spaces which arise from cochain twist deformation quantization of manifolds. We work in the simplest setting of trivial vector bundles and flush out the... Read More about Working with Nonassociative Geometry and Field Theory.

Noncommutative principal bundles through twist deformation (2016)
Journal Article
Aschieri, P., Bieliavsky, P., Pagani, C., & Schenkel, A. (2017). Noncommutative principal bundles through twist deformation. Communications in Mathematical Physics, 352(1), 287-344. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00220-016-2765-x

We construct noncommutative principal bundles deforming principal bundles with a Drinfeld twist (2-cocycle). If the twist is associated with the structure group then we have a deformation of the fibers. If the twist is associated with the automorphis...

Abelian duality on globally hyperbolic spacetimes (2016)
Journal Article
Becker, C., Benini, M., Schenkel, A., & Szabo, R. J. (2017). Abelian duality on globally hyperbolic spacetimes. Communications in Mathematical Physics, 349(1), 361-392. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00220-016-2669-9

We study generalized electric/magnetic duality in Abelian gauge theory by combining techniques from locally covariant quantum field theory and Cheeger-Simons differential cohomology on the category of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. Our app... Read More about Abelian duality on globally hyperbolic spacetimes.

Nonassociative geometry in quasi-Hopf representation categories II: Connections and curvature (2016)
Journal Article

We continue our systematic development of noncommutative and nonassociative differential geometry internal to the representation category of a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra. We describe derivations, differential operators, differential calculi a... Read More about Nonassociative geometry in quasi-Hopf representation categories II: Connections and curvature.
