CMB Birefringence from Vacuum Interfaces
Nemanja Kaloper
Hints of cosmic microwave background polarization rotation ( rad) are commonly attributed to late-time dynamics of ultralight axions. We show that such ult…
Electromagnetic Couplings of Dark Domain Walls
Nemanja Kaloper
We extend Maxwell electrodynamics with a Chern--Simons coupling to a dark sector top form sourced by domain walls. Cosmic birefringence can arise from a distinct mechanism in which…
A new characterization of the holographic entropy cone
Guglielmo Grimaldi, Matthew Headrick, Veronika E. Hubeny
Entanglement entropies computed using the holographic Ryu-Takayanagi formula are known to obey an infinite set of linear inequalities, which define the so-called RT entropy cone. T…
Covariant phase space and algebras
Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat
We propose a symplectic structure for the phase space of a generic Lagrangian field theory expressed in the framework of algebras. The symplectic structure does not requ…
Geometrizing the Anomaly
Joshua Newey, John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren
Recently a manifestly gauge invariant formalism for calculating amplitudes in quantum electrodynamics was outlined in which the field strength, rather than the gauge potential, is…
The Toda-Weyl mass spectrum
Martin T. Luu
The masses of affine Toda theories are known to correspond to the entries of a Perron-Frobenius eigenvector of the relevant Cartan matrix. The Lagrangian of the theory can be expre…
Testing holographic entropy inequalities in 2+1 dimensions
Brianna Grado-White, Guglielmo Grimaldi, Matthew Headrick +1
We address the question of whether holographic entropy inequalities obeyed in static states (by the RT formula) are always obeyed in time-dependent states (by the HRT formula), foc…
Field-Dependent Metrics and Higher-Form Symmetries in Duality-Invariant Theories of Non-Linear Electrodynamics
Christian Ferko, Cian Luke Martin
We prove that a theory of non-linear electrodynamics has equations of motion which are equivalent to those of the Maxwell theory in curved spacetime, but with the usual metric…
Flows in the Space of Interacting Chiral Boson Theories
Stephen Ebert, Christian Ferko, Cian Luke Martin +1
We study interacting theories of left-moving and right-moving Floreanini-Jackiw bosons in two dimensions. A parameterized family of such theories is shown to enj…
Spinning Particle Geometries in AdS/CFT
Ziyi Li
We study spinning particle/defect geometries in the context of AdS/CFT. These solutions lie below the BTZ threshold, and can be obtained from identifications of AdS. We…
Quantization of the ModMax Oscillator
Christian Ferko, Alisha Gupta, Eashan Iyer
We quantize the ModMax oscillator, which is the dimensional reduction of the Modified Maxwell theory to one spacetime dimension. We show that the propagator of the ModMax oscillato…
Boundary correlators and the Schwarzian mode
Lucas Daguerre
The effective low temperature dynamics of near-extremal black holes is governed by the quantum fluctuations of the Schwarzian mode of JT gravity. Utilizing as a proxy a planar char…
Holographic Entropy Inequalities and Multipartite Entanglement
Sergio Hernández-Cuenca, Veronika E. Hubeny, Frederic Jia
We study holographic entropy inequalities and their structural properties by making use of a judicious grouping of terms into certain multipartite information quantities. This allo…
Duality-Invariant Non-linear Electrodynamics and Stress Tensor Flows
Christian Ferko, Sergei M. Kuzenko, Liam Smith +1
Given a model for self-dual non-linear electrodynamics in four spacetime dimensions, any deformation of this theory which is constructed from the duality-invariant energy-momentum…
A gap between holographic and quantum mechanical extreme rays of the subadditivity cone
Temple He, Veronika E. Hubeny, Massimiliano Rota
We show via explicit construction that for six or more parties, there exist extreme rays of the subadditivity cone that can be realized by quantum states, but not by holographic st…
Entangled states as a probe of early universe history: a Higgs case study
Rose Baunach
I explore whether distinguishing features of phase transitions and/or the inflationary energy scale can be imprinted on cosmological observables due to entanglement during inflatio…
Entanglement entropy of a Rarita-Schwinger field in a sphere
Valentin Benedetti, Lucas Daguerre
We study the universal logarithmic coefficient of the entanglement entropy (EE) in a sphere for free fermionic field theories in a Minkowski spacetime. As a warm-up, we revis…
ModMax Oscillators and Root--Like Flows in Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Christian Ferko, Alisha Gupta
We construct a deformation of any -dimensional theory of bosons with symmetry which is driven by a function of conserved quantities that resembles the root-$T \o…
Origin of the Arrow of Time in Quantum Mechanics
Nemanja Kaloper
We point out that time's arrow is naturally induced by quantum mechanical evolution, whenever the systems have a very large number of non-degenerate states and a Hamilto…
de Sitter Space Decay and Cosmological Constant Relaxation in Unimodular Gravity with Charged Membranes
Nemanja Kaloper
General covariant unimodular gravity frameworks, based on the Henneaux-Teitelboim formulation, are, in disguise, precisely -form field theories corrected with higher dimension o…
Root- Deformed Boundary Conditions in Holography
Stephen Ebert, Christian Ferko, Zhengdi Sun
We develop the holographic dictionary for pure gravity where the Lagrangian of the dual conformal field theory has been deformed by an arbitrary function of t…
-Like Flows and Nonlinear Supersymmetry
Christian Ferko, Yangrui Hu, Zejun Huang +2
We show that the Born-Infeld theory can be generated via an irrelevant deformation of the free Maxwell theory. The deforming operator is constructed from the energy-momentum t…
Holography and Irrelevant Operators
Chih-Kai Chang, Christian Ferko, Savdeep Sethi
We explore the holographic proposal involving spacetimes with linear dilaton asymptotics in three dimensions from a gravity perspective. The holographic dual shares some properties…
Stress Tensor Flows, Birefringence in Non-Linear Electrodynamics, and Supersymmetry
Christian Ferko, Liam Smith, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli
We identify the unique stress tensor deformation which preserves zero-birefringence conditions in non-linear electrodynamics, which is a version of the opera…
