One-loop $S^{d+1}$ path integrals were shown to factorize into two parts: a bulk thermal ideal gas partition function in a $dS_{d+1}$ static patch and an edge partition function associated with degrees of freedom living on $S^{d-1}$. Here,…
We develop a family of chiral measures to quantify the chirality of a distribution and assign it a handedness. Our measures are built using the tensorial moments of the distribution, which naturally encode its spatial character, not only…

We present a new computed tomography (CT) method for inverting the Radon transform in 2D. The idea relies on the geometry of the flat torus, hence we call the new method Torus CT. We prove new inversion formulas for integrable functions,…
