Current Algebra on the Conformal Boundary and the Variables of Quantum Gravity
Tom Banks
I argue that scattering theory for massless particles in Minkowski space should be reformulated as a mapping between past and future representations of an algebra of densities on t…
CP Violation and Baryogenesis in the Presence of Black Holes
Tom Banks, Willy Fischler
In a recent paper[1] Kundu and one of the present authors showed that there were transient but observable CP violating effects in the decay of classical currents on the horizon of…
Density Functional Theory for Field Theorists I
T. Banks
I summarize Density Functional Theory (DFT) in a language familiar to quantum field theorists, and introduce several apparently novel ideas for constructing {\it systematic} approx…
Holographic Inflation and the Low Entropy of the Early Universe
Tom Banks
This is a completely rewritten version of the talk I gave at the Philosophy of Cosmology conference in Tenerife, September 2014, which incorporates elements of my IFT Madrid Anthro…
Holographic Inflation Revised
Tom Banks, Willy Fischler
This paper is a major revision of our previous work on the HST model of inflation. We identify the local fluctuations of the metric with fluctuations of the mass and angular moment…
