current research interests are centered around several aspects of
classical and quantum gauge theories, in particular, theories which
are invariant under the group of diffeomorphisms, such as topological
field theories, BF-like models and gravity. In the classical setting,
the approaches I am most familiar with are the constrained
Hamiltonian analysis, the canonical covariant methods and
multisymplectic geometry. In the quantum
aspect, I have been involved in different studies of the framework
known as the deformation quantization formalism or phase space quantum mechanics, and with
non-perturbative canonical quantization methods, such as Loop
Quantum Gravity (LQG). Related to this, I am very interested in the
fundamental problem of making general relativity and quantum theory
compatible in what is called as quantum gravity. One of the most
interesting results obtained from LQG, is that the geometry behaves
in a quantum way, and the spectra of geometric operators turn out to
be discrete and non-commutative. In addition, we have been studying the LQG approach under the
deformation quantization formalism. Under this formalism, the Dirac
quantization rules are achieved by replacing the usual product of the
algebra of smooth functions on the classical phase space with an
associative non-commutative product, such that the resulting
commutator is a deformation of the Poisson structure. Finally these quantization frameworks allow us to analyze quantum phenomena related to Relativistic Quantum Information, Quantum Field Theory on curved spacetimes and algorithms in quantum computing.
