We develop a quantization scheme for Maxwell's equations without source on an arbitrary four dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetime. The field strength tensor is the key dynamical object and it is not assumed a priori that it descends from a vector potential. It is shown that, in general, the associated field algebra can contain a non trivial centre and, on account of this, such a theory cannot be described within the framework of general local covariance unless further restrictive assumptions on the topology of the spacetime are made.

Measurements in stochastic gravity and thermal variance
Thermal photon fluctuations in a curved spacetime generate metric variance that, in the Fewster-Verch measurement scheme, equals the stochastic gravity noise kernel exactly.

The Fock Space Dynamics of Causal Fermion Systems: Non-Abelian Gauge Fields
A limiting case of the causal action principle for causal fermion systems yields the Fock-space dynamics and Feynman diagrams of pQFT including non-abelian gauges and Dirac fields.
