We develop the complete theory for the collective plasmon modes of an interacting electron system in the presence of explicit mass (or velocity) anisotropy in the corresponding non-interacting situation, with the effective Fermi velocity…
The notion of $\Delta$-weakly mixing set is introduced, which shares similar properties of weakly mixing sets. It is shown that if a dynamical system has positive topological entropy, then the collection of $\Delta$-weakly mixing sets is…
We correct the entropy functional constructed in Int. J. Theor. Phys. 51:362 (2012). The 'on-shell' functional one obtains from this correct functional possesses a holographic structure without imposing any constraint on the spin-angular…
In this note we show that $\beta'_*$, the $\beta$-function slopes in the electric and magnetic theories are equal at the corresponding infrared fixed points. This follows from the scaling of the correlators of the trace of the energy…
We comment on the recent work [1], and on its relations with our papers [2,3] cited therein. In particular we show that, contrarily to what stated in [1], the Casimir energy density determined therein in the case of a single delta-like…
We consider a system of two-dimensional electrons strongly localized by disorder. Interactions create a gap in the average tunneling density of states $\nu(E)$ at energies, E, close to the Fermi level. We derive a system of self-consistent…

We consider the Casimir energy due to a massless scalar field in a geometry of an infinite wedge closed by a Dirichlet circular cylinder, where the wedge is formed by $\delta$-function potentials, so-called semitransparent boundaries. A…
We consider entanglement entropy of a cap-like region for a conformal field theory living on a sphere times a circle in d space-time dimensions. Assuming that the finite size of the system introduces a unique ground state with a nonzero…
Entropic independence is a structural property of measures that underlies modern proofs of functional inequalities, notably (modified) log-Sobolev inequalities, via ``annealing'' or local-to-global schemes. Existing sufficient criteria for…

There is a debate as to what is the value of the the entropy $S$ of extremal black holes. There are approaches that yield zero entropy $S=0$, while there are others that yield the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S=A_+/4$, in Planck units. There…
An explicit calculation is given of the entropy/energy ratio for the TM modes of the electromagnetic field in the half Einstein universe. This geometry provides a mathematically convenient and physically instructive example of how the…
