The Ising model as a window on quantum gravity with matter
Romuald A. Janik
We argue that the Ising model CFT can be used to obtain some clear insights into 3D (quantum) gravity with matter. We review arguments for the existence of its holographic descript…
Phase transitions in an expanding medium -- hot remnants
Romuald A. Janik, Matti Jarvinen, Jacob Sonnenschein
We analyze the dynamics of a first order confinement/deconfinement phase transition in an expanding medium using an effective boundary description fitted to the holographic Witten…
Universality and emergent effective fluid from jets and string breaking in the massive Schwinger model using tensor networks
Romuald A. Janik, Maciej A. Nowak, Marek M. Rams +1
We analyze the correlation between the energy, momentum and spatial entanglement produced by two luminal jets in the massive Schwinger model. Using tensor network methods, we show…
On the linear scaling of entropy vs. energy in human brain activity, the Hagedorn temperature and the Zipf law
Dante R. Chialvo, Romuald A. Janik
It is well established that the brain spontaneously traverses through a very large number of states. Nevertheless, despite its relevance to understanding brain function, a formal d…
