On Entanglement Entropy of Maxwell fields in 3+1 dimensions with a slab geometry
Candost Akkaya, Alex Kovner
We calculate the entanglement entropy of a slab of finite width in the pure Maxwell theory. We find that a large part of entropy is contributed by the entanglement of a mode, nonlo…
On Entanglement Entropy of Maxwell fields in 3+1 dimensions
Candost Akkaya, Alex Kovner
We consider entanglement entropy between two halves of space separated by a plane, in the theory of free photon in 3+1 dimensions. We show how to separate local gauge invariant qua…
2+1 d Georgi Glashow Model Near Critical Temperature
Candost Akkaya, Ibrahim Burak Ilhan, Alex Kovner
We study correlations functions of magnetic vortices and Polyakov loop operators in the 2+1 dimensional Georgi-Glashow model in the vicinity of the deconfining phase transi…
Photons without vector fields
Ibrahim Burak Ilhan, Alex Kovner
In this note we continue to pursue the question whether gauge theories can be represented in terms of effective "scalar" degrees of freedom. We provide such a consistent representa…
Conformal Gravity Redux: Ghost-turned-Tachyon
Ibrahim B. Ilhan, Alex Kovner
We analyze conformal gravity in translationally invariant approximation, where the metric is taken to depend on time but not on spatial coordinates. We find that the field mode whi…
Conformal symmetry of JIMWLK Evolution at NLO
Alex Kovner, Michael Lublinsky, Yair Mulian
We construct the Next to Leading Order JIMWLK Hamiltonian for high energy evolution in SUSY theory, and show that it possesses conformal invariance, even though it is…
