We investigate the thermodynamic behavior of the Hayward-AdS black hole and compare it with its singular counterpart from which it can be constructed through the imposition of an additional constraint. The singular black hole displays a…
A covariant implementation of diffeomorphisms in the presence of local symmetries is a nontrivial aspect of gravitational theories. In Double Field Theory, this is achieved through the so-called generalized Kosmann derivative. In this work,…
The infra-red behaviour of gauge theories coupled to matter remains an open problem in quantum field theory. For a given gauge group, such theories are expected to flow to an interacting conformal fixed point over a range of fermion or…
We consider the simplest four-point scattering amplitude of $SO(n)$ tensor multiplets in six-dimensional (2,0) supergravity on AdS$_3\times$S$^3$. Using crossing symmetry and the consistency of the operator product expansion in the dual…
We investigate stationary, non-axisymmetric black hole solutions in AdS$_3$ gravity, known as black flower geometries, in the Chern-Simons formulation. Boundary conditions are specified by a collective field theory-inspired Hamiltonian with…
We study the thermodynamics of the isotropic Heisenberg XXX spin chain with negative spin, focusing on the case $s=-1$. The model is equivalent to the quantum lattice nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) model and appears as an effective theory in…
Topology plays a central role in classifying solitonic configurations in field theories, providing robustness and a nonperturbative label, the so-called topological charge $Q$. In soliton-fermion coupled systems, the relation between the…
Self-similar quasicrystals (like the famous Penrose and Ammann-Beenker tilings) are exceptional geometric structures in which long-range order, quasiperiodicity, non-crystallographic orientational symmetry, and discrete scale invariance are…
We study the finite temperature Casimir effect for parallel plates in the $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time. Using the Matsubara formalism and imposing the Dirichlet boundary conditions on a massless $\kappa$-scalar field, we compute the…
We analyze entanglement generated by the Schwinger effect using a mode-by-mode formalism for scalar and spinor QED in constant backgrounds. Starting from thermal initial states, we derive compact, closed-form results for bipartite…
We consider a spacetime singularity at $t = 0$ arising in a Kasner-type metric that solves the gravitational equations modified by quantum effects of a conformal field theory (CFT). The resulting constraints can be solved efficiently when…
We study the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of dilaton black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity through a correspondence with the quantum Seiberg-Witten (SW) curve of $\mathcal{N}=2$ SU(2) gauge theory with $N_f=3$ hypermultiplets. By…
Is it possible to find imprints of a black hole ringdown through gravitational lensing? To address this question, we formulate an analytic description of weak-field and strong-deflection lensing of light in a time-dependent, perturbed…
We develop a topological framework for preparing families of non-stabilizer states, and computing their entanglement entropies, in $SU(2)_1$ Chern-Simons theory. Using the Kac-Moody algebra, we construct Pauli and Clifford operators as path…
We present a systematic small-$b$ expansion of the Liouville DOZZ three-point structure constant in the light-operator regime \(\alpha_i=b\sigma_i\) as \(b\to0\). In this limit, the exact DOZZ function factorizes into a prefactor \({\cal…
Following Feynman's lectures on gravitation, we consider the theory of the gravitational (massless spin-2) field in flat spacetime and present the third- and fourth-order Lagrangian densities for the gravitational field. In particular, we…
In this work we examine in more detail the map between late-time correlators in de Sitter space and boundary correlators in Euclidean anti-de Sitter space, elaborating on the general construction presented in arXiv:2007.09993 and…
We explore spacetimes with multiple energy injections in asymptotically flat two-dimensional black hole and analyze the entanglement entropy in such spacetimes. This work is an extension of the setup of the single-injection case, by F. F.…
This research investigates a novel class of one-dimensional theories characterised by a distinctly defined infinite interaction range. We propose that such theories emerge naturally through a mesoscopic feedback mechanism. In this…
Holography and entropy bounds suggest that the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) cutoffs of gravitational effective theories are related to one another as a form of UV/IR mixing. Motivated by this, we derive a bound on the allowed scalar…
