Two-loop Beta Function for Complex Scalar Electroweak Multiplets
Joachim Brod, Zachary Polonsky
We present the general form of the renormalizable four-point interactions of a complex scalar field furnishing an irreducible representation of SU(2), and derive a set of algebraic…

Holographic Entanglement Entropy and the (3+1)-dimensional Topological Black Hole
Zachary Polonsky, Alex Flournoy
We investigate the Holographic Entanglement Entropy proposal in the context of the (3+1)-dimensional topological black hole. In contrast to the well-studied (2+1)-dimensional case,…

Thermodynamic phase transitions from dynamical compact dimensions
Zachary Polonsky, Alex Flournoy
We perform a double quotient of global AdS and study its thermal properties. We find that a double quotient yields a spacetime with an expanding compact dimension. Studying the…
