In this paper, we study evolved surfaces over convex planar domains which are evolving by the minimal surface flow $$u_{t}= div\left(\frac{Du}{\sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}\right)-H(x,Du).$$ Here, we specify the angle of contact of the evolved surface…

Hyperbolic curvature flow is a geometric evolution equation that in the plane can be viewed as the natural hyperbolic analogue of curve shortening flow. It was proposed by Gurtin and Podio-Guidugli (1991) to model certain wave phenomena in…

We study a number of (3+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional defect and boundary conformal field theories holographically dual to supergravity theories. In all cases the defects or boundaries are planar, and the defects are codimension-one. Using…

In a recent paper, a novel surface growth approach for reconstructing bulk geometry and matter fields was proposed, it was shown that this picture can be explicitly realized by the one-shot entanglement distillation tensor network and the…

Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…

In this paper we develop a global correspondence between immersed horospherically convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and complete conformal metrics on domains in the sphere. We establish results on when the hyperbolic Gauss map is…

We develop a geometric foundation of microcanonical thermodynamics in which entropy and its derivatives are determined from the geometry of phase space, rather than being introduced through an a priori ensemble postulate. Once the minimal…

For QFTs in AdS the boundary correlation functions remain conformal even if the bulk theory has a scale. This allows one to constrain RG flows with numerical conformal bootstrap methods. We apply this idea to flows between two-dimensional…

We study holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) of $m$ strips in various holographic theories. We prove that for $m$ strips with equal lengths and equal separations, there are only 2 bulk minimal surfaces. For backgrounds which contain also…
