We give a characterization of closed, simply connected, rationally elliptic 6-manifolds in terms of their rational cohomology rings and a partial classification of their real cohomology rings. We classify rational, real and complex homotopy…
We give the first explicit computations of rational homotopy groups of spaces of "long knots" in Euclidean spaces. We define a spectral sequence which converges to these rational homotopy groups whose E^1 term is defined in terms of braid…
We calculate the holographic entanglement entropy for the rotating cylindrical black holes in $d+1$ dimensions as perturbations over $AdS_{d+1}$. This is accomplished based on the first order variation of the area functional in arbitrary…
We introduce a modification procedure for Engel structures that is reminiscent of the Lutz twist in 3-dimensional Contact Topology. This notion allows us to define what an Engel overtwisted disc is, and to prove a complete h-principle for…
We demonstrate the common bihamiltonian nature of several integrable systems. The first one is an elliptic rotator that is an integrable Euler-Arnold top on the complex group GL(N) for any $N$, whose inertia ellipsiod is related to a choice…
We show that the notions of homotopy epimorphism and homological epimorphism in the category of differential graded algebras are equivalent. As an application we obtain a characterization of acyclic maps of topological spaces in terms of…
In hyperbolic space, the angle of intersection and distance classify pairs of totally geodesic hyperplanes. A similar algebraic invariant classifies pairs of hyperplanes in the Einstein universe. In dimension 3, symplectic splittings of a…
Injective metric spaces, or absolute 1-Lipschitz retracts, share a number of properties with CAT(0) spaces. In the 1960es, J. R. Isbell showed that every metric space X has an injective hull E(X). Here it is proved that if X is the vertex…
Motivated by the limited understanding of entanglement entropy in non-asymptotically AdS spacetimes, we develop a framework in which a circular string is embedded as a quantum probe in a spherically symmetric curved spacetime, and its…
The coefficient of the logarithmic term in the entropy on even spheres is re-computed by the local technique of integrating the finite temperature energy density up to the horizon on static d--dimensional de Sitter space and thence finding…
Nondegenerate quadratic forms over $p$-adic fields are classified by their dimension, discriminant, and Hasse invariant. This paper uses these three invariants, elementary facts about $p$-adic fields and the theory of quadratic forms to…
The reduced density matrix of many-body systems possessing an additive conserved quantity can be decomposed in orthogonal sectors which can be independently analyzed. Recently, these have been proven to equally contribute to entanglement…
The entanglement entropy in a quantum field theory between two regions of space has been shown in simple cases to be proportional to the volume of the hypersurface separating the regions. We prove that this is true for a free scalar field…
The first quantum corrections to the entropy for an eternal 4-dimensional extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole is investigated at one-loop level, in the large mass limit of the black hole, making use of the conformal techniques related…
In this article we study immersions of the circle that are tangent to an Engel structure $\mathcal{D}$. We show that a full $h$-principle does exist as soon as one excludes the closed orbits of $\mathcal{W}$, the kernel of $\mathcal{D}$.…
Consider the cotangent bundle of a closed Riemannian manifold and an almost complex structure close to the one induced by the Riemannian metric. For Hamiltonians which grow for instance quadratically in the fibers outside of a compact set,…
The entanglement entropy of an annulus is examined in a three-dimensional system with or without a gap. For a free massive scalar field theory, we numerically calculate the mutual information across an annulus. We also study the holographic…
Tillmann introduced two infinite loop space structures on the plus construction of the classifying space of the stable mapping class group, each with different computational advantages. The first one uses disjoint union on a suitable…
We consider the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_d(\ell)$ of a closed linkage with n links and prescribed lengths in d-dimensional Euclidean space. For d>3 these spaces are no longer manifolds generically, but they have the structure of a…
We give a direct alternative proof of an area law for the entanglement entropy of the ground state of disordered oscillator systems---a result due to Nachtergaele, Sims and Stolz. Instead of studying the logarithmic negativity, we invoke…
