Perturbations to Generalized Kink-like Topological Defects in
Orlando Alvarez, Matthew Haddad
We explore perturbations to a kink-like (codimension 1) topological defect whose world brane is embedded into . Previously, we found solutions in the limit the…
Perturbations to Kink-Like Topological Defects in 2D Anti de Sitter Spacetime
Orlando Alvarez, Matthew Haddad
We examine codimension--1 topological defects whose associated worldline is geodesically embedded in $\AdS_{2}$. This discussion extends a previous study of exact analytical soluti…
Some Exact Solutions for Maximally Symmetric Topological Defects in Anti de Sitter Space
Orlando Alvarez, Matthew Haddad
We obtain exact analytical solutions for a class of SO() Higgs field theories in a non-dynamic background -dimensional anti de Sitter space. These finite transverse energy so…
Emergent Gravity and Weyl's Volume Formula
Orlando Alvarez
In physical theories where the energy (action) is localized near a submanifold of Euclidean (Minkowski) space, there is a universal expression for the energy (or the action). We de…
Emergent Gravity in Spaces of Constant Curvature
Orlando Alvarez, Matthew Haddad
In physical theories where the energy (action) is localized near a submanifold of a constant curvature space, there is a universal expression for the energy (or the action). We der…
Beyond the String Genus
Orlando Alvarez, I. M. Singer
In an earlier work we used a path integral analysis to propose a higher genus generalization of the elliptic genus. We found a cobordism invariant parametrized by Teichmuller space…
