Motivated by nonclassical Weyl laws arising in various contexts (including Connes' approach to the Riemann Hypothesis), we develop a systematic theory of Dixmier traces and Connes' noncommutative integration for weak Lorentz ideals…
We study holographically non-local observables in field theories at finite temperature and in the large $d$ limit. These include the Wilson loop, the entanglement entropy, as well as an extension to various dual extremal surfaces of…
In holography, the isometry group of the bulk spacetime corresponds to the symmetries of the boundary theory. We thus approach the question of whether (and when) scale invariance in combination with Poincar\'e invariance implies full…
We study the behavior of fermion spectral functions for the holographic topological Weyl and nodal line semimetals. We calculate the topological invariants from the Green functions of both holographic semimetals using the topological…

This paper is an extended version of our short letter on a new proposal for holographic boundary conformal field, i.e., BCFT. By using the Penrose-Brown-Henneaux (PBH) transformation, we successfully obtain the expected boundary Weyl…
We calculate the trace and axial anomalies of $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ superconformal theories with exactly marginal deformations, on a surface with boundary. Extending recent work by Gomis et al, we derive the boundary contribution that…
We propose a non-dissipative transport effect and vortical response in Weyl semimetals in the presence of spatial inhomogeneities, namely a spatially varying tilt of the Weyl cones. We show that when the spectrum is anisotropic and tilted…
The Weyl-gauge ($A_0^a=0)$ QCD Hamiltonian is unitarily transformed to a representation in which it is expressed entirely in terms of gauge-invariant quark and gluon fields. In a subspace of gauge-invariant states we have constructed that…
We construct the analogue of the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action in Weyl conformal geometry in $d$ dimensions and obtain a general theory of gravity with Weyl gauge symmetry of dilatations (Weyl-DBI). This is done in the Weyl gauge covariant…

Weyl points are point degeneracies that occur in momentum space of periodic materials, and are associated with a quantized topological charge. We experimentally observe in a 3D micro-printed photonic crystal that a charge-2 Weyl point can…
A functional integral representation is given for a large class of quantum mechanical models with a non--L2 ground state. As a prototype the particle in a periodic potential is discussed: a unique ground state is shown to exist as a state…
We consider charged black holes in four dimensional AdS space, in the presence of a Weyl correction. We obtain the solution including the effect of back-reaction, perturbatively up to first order in the Weyl coupling, and study its…
Topological semimetals are a class of many-body systems exhibiting novel macroscopic quantum phenomena at the interplay between high energy and condensed matter physics. They display a topological quantum phase transition (TQPT) which…
Hopf insulators represent an exceptional class of topological matter unanticipated by the periodic table of topological invariants. These systems point to the existence of previously unexplored states of matter with unconventional topology.…
Finding fingerprints of disordered Weyl semimetals (WSMs) is an unsolved task. Here we report such findings in the level statistics and the fractal nature of electron wavefunction around Weyl nodes of disordered WSMs. The nearest-neighbor…
We review recent developments in physical implications of Weyl conformal geometry. The associated Weyl quadratic gravity action is a gauge theory of the Weyl group of dilatations and Poincar\'e symmetry. Weyl conformal geometry is defined…
We show that Schwarzschild black hole metrics are, asymptotically, Weyl equivalent to $AdS_2 \times S^{D-2}$ where the spherical factor is the horizon. The holographic entanglement entropy of $AdS_2$ exactly reproduces the Schwarzschild…
Weyl points (WPs) are isolated degeneracies carrying quantized topological charges, and are therefore robust against Hermitian perturbations. WPs are predicted to spread to the Weyl exceptional rings (WERs) in the presence of…
