4. Regularization and Renormalization of Quantum Field Theories on Noncommutative Spaces

Harald Grosse, Raimar Wulkenhaar
Pages: 9 - 20
We first review regularization methods based on matrix geometry which provide an ultraviolet cut-off for scalar fields respecting the symmetries. Sections of bundles over the sphere can be quantized, too. This procedure even allows to regularize supesymmetry without violating it. Recently, this work...

6. On Pauli graded contractions of sl(3, C)

Miloslav Havlicek, Jiri Patera, Edita Pelantova, Jiri Tolar
Pages: 37 - 42
We consider a special fine grading of sl(3, C), where the grading subspaces are geerated by 3 × 3 generalized Pauli matrices. This fine grading decomposes sl(3, C) into eight one­dimensional subspaces. Our aim is to find all contractions of sl(3, C) which preserve this grading. We have found that the...

7. On Poisson Realizations of Transitive Lie Algebroids

Yuri Vorobiev
Pages: 43 - 48
We show that every transitive Lie algebroid over a connected symplectic manifold comes from an intrinsic Lie algebroid of a symplectic leaf of a certain Poisson structure. The reconstruction of the corresponding Poisson structures from the Lie algebroid is given in terms of coupling tensors.

The Green function for Klein-Gordon-Dirac equation is obtained. The case with the dominating Klein-Gordon term is considered.

12. Reducible representations of CAR and CCR with possible applications to field quantization

Marek Czachor
Pages: 78 - 84
Reducible representations of CAR and CCR are applied to second quantization of Dirac and Maxwell fields. The resulting field operators are indeed operators and not operator-valued distributions. Examples show that the formalism may lead to a finite quantum field theory.

Data from many sources indicate that the Earth ecological crisis might not wait till distant future. To avert it, some difficult truth must be accepted and adequate steps taken. One of them is the strict protection of the world forests, even at the cost of the short term economic growth.
