Strolling along gravitational vacua
Emine Şeyma Kutluk, Ali Seraj, Dieter Van den Bleeken
We consider General Relativity (GR) on a space-time whose spatial slices are compact manifolds with non-empty boundary . We argue that this theory has a non-trivial…

Strolling along gauge theory vacua
Ali Seraj, Dieter Van den Bleeken
We consider classical, pure Yang-Mills theory in a box. We show how a set of static electric fields that solve the theory in an adiabatic limit correspond to geodesic motion on the…

Conserved charges, surface degrees of freedom, and black hole entropy
Ali Seraj
In this thesis, we study the Hamiltonian and covariant phase space description of gravitational theories. The phase space represents the allowed field configurations and is accompa…
