Path-Integral Description of Stochastic Mechanics
Yoni BenTov
I review the Feynman-Wiener path-integral formalism for diffusion with drift and jumps.
Schwinger-Keldysh path integral for the quantum harmonic oscillator
Yoni BenTov
I review the generating function for quantum-statistical mechanics, known as the Feynman-Vernon influence functional, the decoherence functional, or the Schwinger-Keldysh path inte…
Gravitational shockwave on the Kerr-AdS horizon
Yoni BenTov
I generalize the Dray-'t Hooft gravitational shockwave to the Kerr-AdS background.
Gravitational shockwaves on rotating black holes
Yoni BenTov, Joe Swearngin
We present an exact solution of Einstein's equation that describes the gravitational shockwave of a massless particle on the horizon of a Kerr-Newman black hole. The backreacted me…
Stable Interacting (2 + 1)d Conformal Field Theories at the Boundary of a class of (3 + 1)d Symmetry Protected Topological Phases
Zhen Bi, Alex Rasmussen, Yoni BenTov +1
Motivated by recent studies of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, we explore the possible gapless quantum disordered phases in the nonlinear sigma model defined…
The Origin of Families and Grand Unification
Yoni BenTov, A. Zee
We exploit a recent advance in the study of topological superconductors to propose a solution to the family puzzle of particle physics in the context of SO(18) (or more correctly,…
