Gauge-covariant Hadamard descent in Yang-Mills theory

Lucio Vacchiano, Goffredo Chirco, Saverio Pascazio +1

We study the dimensional reduction of non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory from five to four dimensions. In this framework, Hadamard descent is formulated as a restriction to gauge-equiva…

Dimensional reduction of AdS3 Chern-Simons gravity: Schwarzian and affine boundary theories

Goffredo Chirco, Lucio Vacchiano, Patrizia Vitale

We study a symmetry-reduced sector of gravity formulated as an Chern--Simons theory on a three-dimensional manifold with toroidal boundary. The reduction is imple…

Hamiltonian formulation of a gravity model from (A)dS Yang-Mills theory

Goffredo Chirco, Alfonso Lamberti, Patrizia Vitale

We study the Hamiltonian formulation of a gravity model obtained from a Yang--Mills theory for a one-parameter family of (A)dS Lie algebras parametrized by , when the family of…

Bias in Local Spin Measurements from Deformed Symmetries

Michele Arzano, Goffredo Chirco, Jerzy Kowalski-Glikman

We study local spin measurements on bipartite singlet states when rotational symmetry is described by a quantum group rather than an ordinary Lie group. Although the fundamental sp…

Operator Entanglement from Non-Commutative Symmetries

Michele Arzano, Goffredo Chirco

We argue that Hopf-algebra deformations of symmetries -- as encountered in non-commutative models of quantum spacetime -- carry an intrinsic content of th…

A so(2,2) extension of JT gravity via the Virasoro-Kac-Moody semidirect product

Goffredo Chirco, Lucio Vacchiano, Patrizia Vitale

We consider a bulk plus boundary extension of Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity (JT) coupled with non-abelian gauge fields. The generalization is performed in the Poisson Sigma Model formu…

Stabilizer entropy of quantum tetrahedra

Simone Cepollaro, Goffredo Chirco, Gianluca Cuffaro +2

How complex is the structure of quantum geometry? In several approaches, the spacetime atoms are obtained by the SU(2) intertwiner called quantum tetrahedron. The complexity of thi…

Curvature from multipartite entanglement in quantum gravity states

Simone Cepollaro, Goffredo Chirco, Gianluca Cuffaro +1

We investigate the multipartite entanglement of a uniformly curved quantum 3D space region with boundary, realised in terms of spin networks defined on a graph with non trivial SU(…

Entanglement Negativity on Random Spin Networks

Goffredo Chirco, Simone Cepollaro, Gianluca Cuffaro +1

We investigate multipartite entanglement for quantum states of 3d space geometry, described via generalised random spin networks with fixed areas, in the context of background inde…

Dually affine Information Geometry modeled on a Banach space

Goffredo Chirco, Giovanni Pistone

In this chapter, we study Information Geometry from a particular non-parametric or functional point of view. The basic model is a probabilities subset usually specified by regulari…

Goffredo Chirco, Eugenia Colafranceschi, Daniele Oriti

For quantum gravity states associated to open spin network graphs, we study how the entanglement entropy of the boundary degrees of freedom (spins on open edges) is affected by the…
