We consider the C*-algebraRq generated by the representation of the q-commutation relations on the twisted Fock space. We construct a canonical unitary U (= U(q)) from the twisted Fock space to the usual Fock space, such that URqU∗ contains the extended Cuntz algebra R0, for all q ∈ (−1, 1). We prove the equality URqU∗ = R0 for q satisfying: q < 1− 2|q|+ 2|q| − 2|q| + · · ·+ 2(−1)k|q|k2 + · · ·...

Canonical treatment of two dimensional gravity as an anomalous gauge theory ABSTRACT The extended phase space method of Batalin, Fradkin and Vilkovisky is applied to formulate two dimensional gravity in a general class of gauges. A BRST formulation of the light-cone gauge is presented to reveal the relationship between the BRST symmetry and the origin of SL(2, R) current algebra. From the same ...

A covariant spinor representation of iosp(d, 2/2) is constructed for the quantization of the spinning relativistic particle. It is found that, with appropriately defined wavefunctions, this representation can be identified with the state space arising from the canonical extended BFV-BRST quantization of the spinning particle with admissible gauge fixing conditions after a contraction procedure....

In the present work we study dynamical space-time symmetries in noncommutative relativistic theories by using the minimal canonical extension of the Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts algebra. Our formalism is constructed in an extended space-time with independent degrees of freedom associated with the object of noncommutativity θ . In this framework we consider theories that are invariant unde...

Let k be a commutative ring, A a commutative k-algebra and D the filtered ring of k-linear differential operators of A. We prove that: (1) The graded ring grD admits a canonical embedding θ into the graded dual of the symmetric algebra of the module ΩA/k of differentials of A over k, which has a canonical divided power structure. (2) There is a canonical morphism θ from the divided power algebr...

The varietyMV of all MV-algebras is shown to be non-canonical in a strong sense. Specifically it is shown that the canonical extension of the Chang algebra, K2, is not an MV-algebra. As a consequence, no non-finitely generated variety of MV-algebras is canonical.
