The phase of charged Nariai solutions
Victor Ivo, Zimo Sun
In this note, we compute the phase of the one-loop Euclidean path integral around charged Nariai solutions in 4 dimensions, including both metric and gauge field fluctuations. Thes…

Physical instabilities and the phase of the Euclidean path integral
Victor Ivo, Juan Maldacena, Zimo Sun
We compute the phase of the Euclidean gravity partition function on manifolds of the form . We find that the total phase is equal to the phase in pure gravity on $S…

Certain BCS wavefunctions are quantum many-body scars
Kiryl Pakrouski, Zimo Sun
We construct many-body scar states in multi-flavour fermionic lattice models that possess strong magnetic or superconducting correlations of a given type specified by a unitary mat…
