The mechanical, optical, and chemical properties of a wide variety of soft materials are enabled and constrained by their bulk structure. How this structure emerges at small system sizes during self-assembly has been the subject of decades…
The volume of a cyclic polytope can be obtained by forming an iterated integral along a suitable piecewise linear path running through its edges. Different choices of such a path are related by the action of a subgroup of the combinatorial…

Here we consider the possible bulk and shear moduli of planar polycrystals built from a single crystal in various orientations. Previous work gave a complete characterization for crystals with orthotropic symmetry. Specifically, bounds were…
We consider the 1/2 BPS circular Wilson loop in a generic N=2 SU(N) SYM theory with conformal matter content. We study its vacuum expectation value, both at finite $N$ and in the large-N limit, using the interacting matrix model provided by…
States of matter with nontrivial topology have been classified by their bulk symmetry properties. However, by cutting the topological insulator into ribbons, the symmetry of the system is reduced. By constructing effective Hamiltonians…
We develop geometric methods to study the generating weights of free modules of vector valued modular forms of half-integral weight, taking values in a complex representation of the metaplectic group. We then compute the generating weights…
Vacuum expectation values for one Wegner-Wilson loop representing a moving quark-antiquark pair are calculated in four-dimensional Euclidean and Minkowski space-time. The calculation uses gluon field strength correlators with perturbative…
We compute the expectation value of the circular Wilson loop in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with N_f=2N hypermultiplets. Our results indicate that the string tension in the dual string theory scales as the logarithm of the 't Hooft…

We construct a bulk spacetime from a boundary CFT, $O(N)$ free scalar model, at finite temperature using a smearing technique, called a conformal flow. The bulk metric is constructed as an information metric associated with the boundary…
We investigate how IR modifications of the bulk geometry reshape long-range multipartite entanglement on the boundary in holography. We modify the IR geometries in two opposite directions: spherical modifications that enhance long-range…
