Quantization of a New Canonical, Covariant, and Symplectic Hamiltonian Density
David Chester, Xerxes D. Arsiwalla, Louis Kauffman +2
We generalize Koopman-von Neumann classical mechanics to poly-symplectic fields and recover De Donder-Weyl theory. Comparing with Dirac's Hamiltonian density inspires a new Hamilto…
Degenerate Stars and Gravitational Collapse in AdS/CFT
Xerxes Arsiwalla, Jan de Boer, Kyriakos Papadodimas +1
We construct composite CFT operators from a large number of fermionic primary fields corresponding to states that are holographically dual to a zero temperature Fermi gas in AdS sp…
A Black Hole Levitron
Xerxes D. Arsiwalla, Erik P. Verlinde
We study the problem of spatially stabilising four dimensional extremal black holes in background electric/magnetic fields. Whilst looking for stationary stable solutions describin…
Entropy Functions with 5D Chern-Simons terms
Xerxes D. Arsiwalla
In this note we reconsider Sen's entropy function analysis for 5D supergravity actions containing Chern-Simons terms. The apparent lack of gauge invariance is usually tackled via a…
More Rings to rule them all : Fragmentation, 4D/5D and Split-Spectral Flows
Xerxes D. Arsiwalla
In this note we set-up an explicit 5D construction of AdS-fragmentation, whereby a single black ring splits-up into a multi-black ring configuration. Furthermore it is seen that th…
Phase transitions in q-deformed 2d Yang-Mills theory and topological strings
Xerxes Arsiwalla, Rutger Boels, Marcos Marino +1
We analyze large N phase transitions for U(N) q-deformed two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the sphere. We determine the phase diagram of the model and we show that, for small va…
