Shock Waves and the Vacuum Structure of Gauge Theories
In Yang-Mills theory massless point sources lead naturally to shock-wave configurations. Their magnetic counterparts endow the vacuum of the four-dimensional compact abelian model with a Coulomb-gas behaviour whose physical implications are briefly discussed.

Complex-time approach for semi-classical quantum tunneling
The complex-time method for quantum tunneling is studied. In one-dimensional quantum mechanics, we construct a reduction formula for a Green function in the number of turning points based on the WKB approximation. This formula yields a series, which can be interpreted as a sum over the complex-time paths. The weights o...

All bicovariant differential calculi on Glq(3,C) and SLq(3,C)
All bicovariant first order differential calculi on the quantum group GLq(3,C) are determined. There are two distinct one-parameter families of calculi. In terms of a suitable basis of 1-forms the commutation relations can be expressed with the help of the R-matrix of GLq(3,C). Some calculi induce bicovariant different...

Integrated differential geometry. Commutative and noncommutative
For a manifold M we define a structure on the group action of Diff(M) on the smooth functions on M which reduces to the usual differential geometry upon differentiation at zero along the one-parameter groups of Diff(M). This ``integrated differential geometry'' generalises to all group actions on associative algebras, ...

The $[n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_s]$--th reduced KP hierarchy and $W_{1+\infty}$ constraints
To every partition $n=n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_s$ one can associate a vertex operator realization of the Lie algebras $a_{\infty}$ and $\hat{gl}_n$.

Topology and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Starting from Laughlin type wave functions with generalized periodic boundary conditions describing the degenerate groundstate of a quantum Hall system we explictly construct $r$ dimensional vector bundles.
