Boundaries in the Instantaneous Formulation of Field Theories
Silvester G. A. Borsboom
We study boundary conditions in GiMmsy's covariant and instantaneous formulations of classical field theories and show that the instantaneous state space in the presence of a const…
Black hole equations of state and response functions
Silvester G. A. Borsboom, Manus R. Visser
We systematically develop a framework for equilibrium thermodynamics in terms of thermodynamic representations, which are choices of thermodynamic potential and independent variabl…
Symmetry Breaking through Superselection by Boundary Conditions
Silvester G. A. Borsboom, José P. Dupont
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is central to modern physics but is conventionally defined only for infinite systems, raising challenges for its interpretation in finite, real-…
Holographic pressure and volume for black holes
Silvester Borsboom, Silvester G. A. Borsboom, Manus R. Visser
We advocate for a holographic definition of thermodynamic pressure and volume for black holes based on quasi-local gravitational thermodynamics. When a black hole is enclosed by a…
Global Gauge Symmetry Breaking in the Abelian Higgs Mechanism
Silvester G. A. Borsboom, Sebastian De Haro
This paper aims to resolve the incompatibility between two extant gauge-invariant accounts of the Abelian Higgs mechanism: the first account uses global gauge symmetry breaking, an…
Global Gauge Symmetries and Spatial Asymptotic Boundary Conditions in Yang-Mills Theory
Silvester G. A. Borsboom, Hessel B. Posthuma
In Yang-Mills theory on a Euclidean Cauchy surface, the physical gauge group is often taken to be , where consists of boundary-p…
