• Authors: Victor Aldaya, Julio Guerrero and Francisco F. L\'opez-Ruiz
• Abstract summary: The momentum space associated with "tachyonic particles" is rather intricate, departing from the ordinary dual to Minkowski space directly parametrized by space-time translations of the Poincar'e group. Although described by the constants of motion (Noether invariants) associated with space-time translations, they depend non-trivially on the parameters of the rotation subgroup. After that, the theory becomes consistent and could shed new light on some special physical situations like inflation or traveling inside a black hole.

• Abstract: The momentum space associated with "tachyonic particles" proves to be rather intricate, departing very much from the ordinary dual to Minkowski space directly parametrized by space-time translations of the Poincar\'e group. In fact, although described by the constants of motion (Noether invariants) associated with space-time translations, they depend non-trivially on the parameters of the rotation subgroup. However, once the momentum space is parametrized by the Noether invariants, it behaves exactly as that of ordinary particles. On the other hand, the evolution parameter is no longer the one associated with time translation, whose Noether invariant, $P_o$, is now a basic one. Evolution takes place in a spatial direction. These facts not only make difficult the computation of the corresponding representation, but also force us to a sound revision of several traditional ingredients related to Cauchy hypersurface, scalar product and, of course, causality. After that, the theory becomes consistent and could shed new light on some special physical situations like inflation or traveling inside a black hole.

  The momentum space being the 4-torus is identified as the Brillouin zone of space-time where all physical phenomena occur. This behaviour leads to new features in early cosmology which are not in conflict with current knowledge.

  We extend the time choice of the Legendre transform to a dynamical variable. A canonical-like quantization of the formalism is then presented in which the fields satisfy spacetime commutation relations. The problem of establishing a correspondence between the new noncausal framework and conventional QM is solved through a generalization of spacelike correlators to spacetime.

  Positive-energy solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation form a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the future tube. This domain is interpreted as an extended phase space for the associated classical particle, the extra dimensions being the time and a new variable related to the inverse equilibrium temperature in an associated canonical ensemble.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

  We show that it is neither necessary nor sufficient for the Poisson bracket between the time variable and the super-Hamiltonian to be equal to unity in all of the phase space. We also discuss the question of switching between different internal times as well as the Montevideo interpretation of quantum theory.

  We continue the study of nonrelativistic quantum gravity associated with a family of Ricci flow equations. This topological gravity is of the cohomological type, and it exhibits an $cal N=2$ extended BRST symmetry. We demonstrate a standard one-step BRST gauge-fixing of a theory whose fields are $g_ij$, $ni$ and $n$, and whose gauge symmetries consist of (i) the topological deformations of $g_ij$, and (ii) the ultralocal nonrelativistic limit of space

  We first present a Hamiltonian structure, then quantize the field following the standard approach. For the free field, the time-dependent quantized Hamiltonian is diagonalized by Bogliubov transformation. It is concluded that particle states, such as vacuum states in particular are time-dependent and vacuum states at one time evolves into non-vacuum states at later times.

  The functional integral on the generalized phase space is defined as the initial one in quantum theory. The measure of integration in the generalized configuration space of world particle lines is determined. A modification of the propagator is proposed, in which the role of independent time parameters is taken by the time coordinates of the particles in Minkowski space.
