Loop Variables for a Class of Conical Spacetimes
Loop variables are used to describe the presence of topological defects in
spacetime. In particular we study the dependence of the holonomy transformation
on angular momentum and torsion for a multi-chiral cone. We also compute the
holonomies for multiple moving crossed cosmic strings and two plane topological
defects-crossed by a cosmic string.Comment: 17 pages, LATE
On the BV structure on the cohomology of moduli space
The question of vanishing of the BV operator on the cohomology of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is investigated. The BV structure, which comprises a BV operator and an antibracket, is identified, vanishing theorems are proven, and a counterexample is provided
The Jacobi group and the squeezed states - some comments
The generalized coherent states attached to the Jacobi group realize the
squeezed states. Imposing hermitian conjugacy to the generators of the Jacobi
algebra, we find out the form of the weight function appearing in the scalar
product. We show effectively the orthonormality of the base functions with
respect to the scalar product. From the explicit form of the reproducing
kernel, we find out the expression of the multiplier in a holomorphic
representation of the Jacobi group.Comment: 9 pages, to appear in AIP Conference Proceedings, Geometric Methods

Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field
We consider the Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field (the field of a
solenoid and a collinear uniform magnetic field). For the case of Aharonov-Bohm
solenoid, we construct self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac Hamiltonian using
von Neumann's theory of deficiency indices. We find self-adjoint extensions of
the Dirac Hamiltonian in both above dimensions and boundary conditions at the
AB solenoid. Besides, for the first time, solutions of the Dirac equation in
the magnetic-solenoid field with a finite radius solenoid were found. We study
the structure of these solutions and their dependence on the behavior of the
magnetic field inside the solenoid. Then we exploit the latter solutions to
specify boundary conditions for the magnetic-solenoid field with Aharonov-Bohm
solenoid.Comment: 23 pages, 2 figures, LaTex fil
