Holographic Entanglement Entropy and the (3+1)-dimensional Topological Black Hole
Zachary Polonsky, Alex Flournoy
We investigate the Holographic Entanglement Entropy proposal in the context of the (3+1)-dimensional topological black hole. In contrast to the well-studied (2+1)-dimensional case,…

Thermodynamic phase transitions from dynamical compact dimensions
Zachary Polonsky, Alex Flournoy
We perform a double quotient of global AdS and study its thermal properties. We find that a double quotient yields a spacetime with an expanding compact dimension. Studying the…

Nongeometry, Duality Twists, and the Worldsheet
Alex Flournoy, Brook Williams
In this paper, we use orbifold methods to construct nongeometric backgrounds, and argue that they correspond to the spacetimes discussed in \cite{dh,wwf}. More precisely, we make e…
