Repulsive Casimir force in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes

We study the influence of stationary axisymmetric spacetimes on Casimir energy. We consider a massive scalar field and analyze its dependence on the apparatus orientation with respect to the dragging direction associated with such spaces. We show that, for an apparatus orientation not considered before in the literature, the Casimir energy can change its sign, producing a repulsive force. As applications, we analyze two specific metrics: one associated with a linear motion of a cylinder and a circular equatorial motion around a gravitational source described by Kerr geometry.

Partition functions for supersymmetric gauge theories on spheres

In this paper we briefly review the main idea of the localization technique and its extension suitable in supersymmetric gauge field theory. We analyze the partition function of the vector multiplets with supercharges and its blocks on the even- and odd-dimensional spheres and squashed spheres. We exploit so-called Faà di Bruno's formula and show that multipartite partition functions can be written in the form of expansion series of the Bell polynomials. Applying the restricted specialization argument we show that $q$-infinite-product representation of partition functions admits presentation in terms of the Patterson-Selberg (or the Ruelle-type) spectral functions.

The Duistermaat-Heckman formula with application to circle actions and Poincaré $q$-polynomials in twisted equivariant K-theory

In this paper we deduce the sketch of proof of the Duistermaat-Heckman formula and investigate how the known Duistermaat-Heckman result could be specialized to the symplectic structure on the orbit space. The theorems of localization in equivariant cohomology not only provide us with beautiful mathematical formulas and stimulate achievements in algorithmic computations, but also promote progress in theoretical and mathematical physics. We present the elliptic genera and the characteristic $q$-series for the circle actions and twisted equivariant K-theory, with the case of the symmetric group of $n$ symbols separately analyzed. We show that the Poincaré $q$-polynomials admit presentation in terms of the Patterson-Selberg (or the Ruelle-type) spectral functions.

Hilbert schemes, Verma modules and spectral functions of hyperbolic geometry with application to quantum invariants

In this article we exploit Ruelle-type spectral functions and analyze the Verma module over Virasoro algebra, boson-fermion correspondence, the analytic torsion, the Chern-Simons and $η$ invariants, as well as the generation function associated to dimensions of the Hochschild homology of the crossed product $\mathbb{C}[S_n]\ltimes \mathcal{A}^{\otimes n}$ ($\mathcal{A}$ is the $q$-Weyl algebra). After analysing the Chern-Simons and $η$ invariants of Dirac operators by using irreducible $SU(n)$-flat connections on locally symmetric manifolds of non-positive section curvature, we describe the exponential action for the Chern-Simons theory.

Pseudoclassical model for Weyl particle in 10 dimensions

A pseudoclassical model to describe Weyl particle in 10 dimensions is proposed. In course of quantization both the massless Dirac equation and the Weyl condition are reproduced automatically. The construction can be relevant to Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz strings where the Weyl reduction in the Ramond sector has to be made by hand.

Quantization of pseudoclassical model of spin one relativistic particle

A consistent procedure of canonical quantization of pseudoclassical model for spin one relativistic particle is considered. Two approaches to treat the quantization for the massless case are discussed, the limit of the massive case and independent quantization of a modified action. Quantum mechanics constructed for the massive case proves to be equivalent to the Proca theory and for massless case to the Maxwell theory. Results obtained are compared with ones for the case of spinning (spin one half) particle.
