Notes on Real Quantum Mechanics in a Kahler Space

Irina Aref'eva, Igor Volovich

The necessity of complex numbers in quantum mechanics has long been debated. This paper develops a real Kahler space formulation of quantum mechanics [19], asserting equivalence to…

Black Brane/Bose Gase Duality and Third Law of Thermodynamics

Irina Aref'eva, Daniil Stepanenko, Igor Volovich

In the thermodynamics of black holes in asymptotically flat space, the third law of thermodynamics is violated, and entropy cannot be consistently modeled through conventional stat…

Revealing nonperturbative effects in the SYK model

Irina Aref'eva, Mikhail Khramtsov, Igor Volovich

We study the large saddle points of two SYK chains coupled by an interaction that is nonlocal in Euclidean time. We start from analytic treatment of the free case with an…

Evolution of the holographic entanglement entropy quantities for composite quantum systems

Irina Aref'eva, Oleg Inozemcev, Igor Volovich

Holographic entanglement entropy quantities for a three-party system are considered, namely tripartite information, total correlation and secrecy monotone. A holographic approach w…

Cauchy Problem on Non-globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes

I. Ya. Arefeva, T. Ishiwatari, I. V. Volovich

Solutions of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation on a non-globally hyperbolic spacetime, which contains closed timelike curves (time machines) are considered. It is proved, th…

On the Null Energy Condition and Cosmology

I. Ya. Aref'eva, I. V. Volovich

Field theories which violate the null energy condition (NEC) are of interest for the solution of the cosmological singularity problem and for models of cosmological dark energy wit…
