In this review (written in Chinese), we introduce the computation of the minimal surface area in the scattering amplitude/Wilson loop duality, where the minimal surface ends on a light-like polygonal Wilson loop at the boundary of anti-de…
The AdS/CFT correspondence relates Wilson loops in $N$=4 SYM theory to minimal area surfaces in AdS space. If the loop is a plane curve the minimal surface lives in hyperbolic space $H_3$ (or equivalently Euclidean AdS$_3$ space). We argue…
We study Euclidean Wilson loops at strong coupling using the AdS/CFT correspondence, where the problem is mapped to finding the area of minimal surfaces in Hyperbolic space. We use a formalism introduced recently by Kruczenski to…
In this paper we show that in addition to the known minimal surfaces which appear in the literature for computing the entanglement entropy there are other minimal surfaces with non-zero extrinsic curvature. We use the approach of…
The classical Bj\"orling problem is to find the minimal surface containing a given real analytic curve with tangent planes prescribed along the curve. We consider the generalization of this problem to non-minimal constant mean curvature…

We consider the well-posedness and numerical approximation of a Hamilton--Jacobi equation on an evolving hypersurface in $\mathbb R^3$. Definitions of viscosity sub- and supersolutions are extended in a natural way to evolving hypersurfaces…
We design fast numerical methods for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in density space (HJD), which arises in optimal transport and mean field games. We overcome the curse-of-infinite-dimensionality nature of HJD by proposing a generalized Hopf…
We derive a general expression for obtaining Holographic subregion complexity for asymptotically $AdS$ spacetimes, pertubatively around pure $AdS$ using a variational technique. An essential step in finding subregion complexity is to…
The AdS/CFT correspondence relates Wilson loops in N=4 SYM to minimal area surfaces in $AdS_5\times S^5$ space. Recently, a new approach to study minimal area surfaces in $AdS_3 \subset AdS_5$ was discussed based on a Schroedinger equation…
On conformally compact manifolds of arbitrary signature, we use conformal geometry to identify a natural (and very general) class of canonical boundary problems. It turns out that these encompass and extend aspects of already known…
We present a new formulation for the computation of solutions of a class of Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) equations on closed smooth surfaces of co-dimension one. For the class of equations considered in this paper, the viscosity solution…

In this paper, we consider first order Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations posed on a ``junction'', that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. For this continuous HJ problem, we propose a finite…
For non convex Hamiltonians, the viscosity solution and the more geometric minimax solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation do not coincide in general. They are nevertheless related: we show that iterating the minimax procedure during…
We study holographic entanglement entropy in four-dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant. By using the replica trick and evaluating path integrals in the minisuperspace approximation, in conjunction with the…

Characteristic curves of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be seen as action minimizing trajectories of fluid particles. However this description is valid only for smooth solutions. For nonsmooth "viscosity" solutions, which give rise to…
