Attributing thermodynamic properties to the Bunch-Davies state in static patch of de Sitter space and setting the corresponding equations of state, we demonstrate that, for pure gravity, the bulk entropy computed on-shell as a volume…
In a previous Letter, we showed that physical scattering observables for compact spinning objects in general relativity can depend on additional degrees of freedom in the spin tensor beyond those described by the spin vector alone. In this…
Working in a sector of large charge is a powerful tool to analytically access models that are either strongly coupled or otherwise difficult to solve explicitly. In the context of integrable systems, Volin's method is exactly such a…
We study the relative R\'enyi entropy (RRE) under local quenches in two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), focusing on rational CFTs (RCFTs) and holographic CFTs. In RCFTs, the RRE evolves as a monotonic function over time,…
We consider two approaches to calculate imaginary parts of effective actions in expanding space-times. While the first approach uses Bogolyubov coefficients, the second one uses the functional integral or the Feynman propagator. In…
We extend the formalism of tri-vector deformations to the full SL(5) exceptional field theory with no truncation assumed thus covering 11D backgrounds of any form. We derive explicit transformation rules for 11D supergravity component…
We extend the study of banana diagrams in coordinate representation to the case of curved space-times. If the space is harmonic, the Green functions continue to depend on a single variable -- the geodesic distance. But now this dependence…
We use different methods to calculate the imaginary part of the gravitational effective action due to a massless scalar field, with a view on perturbative vs. non-pertubative and the results of ArXiv:2305.18521.
Tensor hierarchy of Exceptional Field Theories contains gauge fields satisfying certain Bianchi identities. We define the full set of fluxes of the SL(5) exceptional field theory containing known gauge field strengths, generalized…
The Euclidean path integral is compared to the thermal (canonical) partition function in curved static space-times. It is shown that if spatial sections are non-compact and there is no Killing horizon, the logarithms of these two quantities…
The smooth 1-form Verma module of $\mathfrak{so}(1,4)$ is acquired, which can be regarded as the U(1) gauge potential on de Sitter spacetime. It is shown that electromagnetic fields could not be source free on de Sitter background.
In gauge theories, globally charged observables necessarily depend non-locally on the kinematical fields, with this dependence extending to the asymptotic boundary of spacetime. Despite this, we show that a subset of such observables can be…
It is known that quantum field theories in curved spacetime suffer from a number of pathologies, including the inability to relate states on different spatial slices by proper unitary time-evolution operators. In this article, we illustrate…
The trace anomaly and anomaly-induced action are evaluated for the two-dimensional $2D$ vector theory with classical conformal symmetry. Implementing local conformal symmetry while preserving the gauge invariance requires either giving up…
We study holographic c-theorems based on timelike entanglement entropy and show that a timelike c-function captures irreversible renormalization group (RG) flow. We demonstrate that timelike c-functions are applicable to both relativistic…
Semiclassical black hole emission in four spacetime dimensions is studied using a non-local effective action. The field equations that determine the time-dependent renormalized stress tensor are solved numerically for a black hole formed by…
In this article we consider the construction of the superconformal mechanics that realize $SU(1,1|n)$ and $OSp(6|2)$ symmetries and involve interactions with non-Abelian bosonic currents. If is shown that for $N>4$ supersymmetries the…
The formalism of Dashen, Ma and Bernstein (DMB) expresses the thermal partition function of a system in terms of the S-matrix operator, roughly $Z(\beta) \propto \int dE\, e^{-\beta E}\,\text{Tr}\,\ln S(E),$ where $S$ denotes the full…
Chiral and conformal anomalies are fundamental phenomena that span multiple disciplines, including high-energy physics, condensed matter theory and cosmology. These anomalies play a crucial role in understanding fundamental interactions and…
The aim of this Thesis is twofold. On the one hand, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for a maximally supersymmetric supergravity theory in 3D to be a solution of 11D supergravity (but the result is general and also holds for…
