Exact Expressions For Infinitely Many Weil-Petersson Volumes
Ashton Lowenstein
Weil-Petersson volumes are the volumes of the moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces and have played an important role in the relationship between two-dimensional quantum gravi…
Open-Closed String Duality, Branes, and Topological Recursion
Ashton Lowenstein
We consider matrix models exhibiting open-closed string duality in two-dimensional string theories with various amounts of supersymmetry. In particular, a relationship between matr…
Perturbative Unorientable JT Gravity and Matrix Models
Wasif Ahmed, Ashton Lowenstein
We consider an orthogonal polynomial formulation of the double scaling limit of multicritical matrix models in the Dyson-Wigner class. They capture the physics of 2D quantum…
Reconstructing the Bulk Dual of ABJM from Holographic Entanglement Entropy
Ashton Lowenstein, Avik Chakraborty
Recent work has shown that entanglement and the structure of spacetime are intimately related. One way to investigate this is to begin with an entanglement entropy in a conformal f…
The Effect of Forcing on Vacuum Radiation
Katherine Jones-Smith, Harsh Mathur, Ashton Lowenstein
Vacuum radiation has been the subject of theoretical study in both cosmology and condensed matter physics for many decades. Recently there has been impressive progress in experimen…
An analysis of the LIGO discovery based on Introductory Physics
Harsh Mathur, Katherine Jones-Smith, Ashton Lowenstein
Binary black hole mergers are analyzed using concepts from introductory physics. Drawing upon Newtonian mechanics, dimensional considerations, and analogies between gravitational a…
