The entanglement theory in quantum systems with internal symmetries is rich due to the spontaneous creation of entangled pairs of charge/anti-charge particles at the entangling surface. We call these pair creation operators the bi-local…
A linear polarization field on a surface is expressed in terms of scalar functions, providing an invariant separation into two components; one of these is the B mode, important as a signature of primordial gravitational waves, which would…
Linearly polarized, non-masing, rotational lines have been detected for the first time in the interstellar medium. This effect occurs in molecular clouds with a magnetic field, and traces the field direction, offering an alternative…
The problem of quantizing a particle on a 2-sphere has been treated by numerous approaches, including Isham's global method based on unitary representations of a symplectic symmetry group that acts transitively on the phase space. Here we…
Gaskell et al. (2007) introduced polarization reverberation mapping as a new technique to explore the structure of active galactic nuclei. We present modeling results for the time-dependent polarization signal expected from scattering…
We present a model for the ion distribution near a charged surface, based on the response of the ions to the presence of a single test particle. Near an infinite planar surface this model produces the exact density profile in the limits of…

In the presence of crystalline symmetries, certain topological insulators present a filling anomaly: a mismatch between the number of electrons in an energy band and the number of electrons required for charge neutrality. In this paper, we…

By computing the low-lying energy excitation spectra with the density matrix renormalization group algorithm we show that boundaries polarized in the direction of the transverse field lead to scale-invariant conformal towers of states at…
We study in detail various information theoretic quantities with the intent of distinguishing between different charged sectors in fractionalized states of large-$N$ gauge theories. For concreteness, we focus on a simple holographic…
It is well-known that there exist infinitely-many inequivalent representations of the canonical (anti)-commutation relations of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). A way out, suggested by Algebraic QFT, is to instead define the quantum theory as…
