Entanglement in BF theory II: Edge-modes
Jackson R. Fliss, Stathis Vitouladitis
We consider the entanglement entropy arising from edge-modes in Abelian -form topological field theories in dimensions on arbitrary spatial topology and across arbitrary ent…
Non-minimal coupling, negative null energy, and effective field theory
Jackson R. Fliss, Ben Freivogel, Eleni-Alexandra Kontou +1
The non-minimal coupling of scalar fields to gravity has been claimed to violate energy conditions, leading to exotic phenomena such as traversable wormholes, even in classical the…
Entanglement in BF theory I: Essential topological entanglement
Jackson R. Fliss, Stathis Vitouladitis
We study the entanglement structure of Abelian topological order described by -form BF theory in arbitrary dimensions. We do so directly in the low-energy topological quantum fi…
Coupling Fields to 3D Quantum Gravity via Chern-Simons Theory
Alejandra Castro, Ioana Coman, Jackson R. Fliss +1
We propose a mechanism that couples matter fields to three-dimensional quantum gravity, which can be used for theories with a positive or negative cosmological constant. Our propos…
Keeping matter in the loop in dS quantum gravity
Alejandra Castro, Ioana Coman, Jackson R. Fliss +1
We propose a mechanism that couples matter fields to three-dimensional de Sitter quantum gravity. Our construction is based on the Chern-Simons formulation of three-dimensional Euc…
