Quantum Properties of Non-Dirichlet Boundary Conditions in Gravity
Patrick Draper, Manthos Karydas, Hao Zhang
The Euclidean path integral for gravity is enriched by the addition of boundaries, which provide useful probes of thermodynamic properties. Common boundary conditions include Diric…
The thermal representation of conformal ladder integrals
Manthos Karydas, Songyuan Li, Anastasios C. Petkou +1
We present the details of a recently discovered representation of conformal four-point ladder integrals as thermal one-point functions in scalar field theories. We show that the co…
On the geometric origin of the energy-momentum tensor improvement terms
Damianos Iosifidis, Manthos Karydas, Anastasios Petkou +1
In a flat background, the canonical energy momentum tensor of Lorentz and conformally invariant matter field theories can be improved to a symmetric and traceless tensor that gives…
On the quantum mechanics of entropic forces
Daniel Carney, Manthos Karydas, Thilo Scharnhorst +2
It was conjectured thirty years ago that gravity could arise from the entropic re-arrangement of information. In this paper, we offer a set of microscopic quantum models which real…
