We compute the leading correction to entanglement entropy in $T\bar{T}$ deformed massive QFTs. We show that both for massive scalar and Dirac fermion, the leading order correction to the entanglement entropy of half-space comes from the…

Thurston and Calegari-Dunfield showed that the fundamental group of some tautly foliated hyperbolic 3-manifold acts on the circle in a distinctive way that the action preserves some structure of S^1, so-called a circle lamination. Indeed, a…

The localized equivariant homology of the quiver variety of type $A_{N-1}^{(1)}$ can be identified with the level one Fock space by assigning a normalized torus fixed point basis to certain symmetric functions, Jack($\mathfrak{gl}_N$)…

A standard theorem in nonsmooth analysis states that a piecewise affine function $F:\mathbb R^n\rightarrow\mathbb R^n$ is surjective if it is coherently oriented in that the linear parts of its selection functions all have the same nonzero…

Let $S$ be any closed hyperbolic surface and let $\lambda$ be a maximal geodesic lamination on $S$. The amount of bending of an abstract pleated surface (homeomorphic to $S$) with the pleating locus $\lambda$ is completely determined by an…

The aim of this paper is to give a generalization of the theory equivariant functions, initiated in [17, 4], to arbitrary subgroups of PSL2(R). We show that there is a deep relation between the geometry of these groups and some analytic and…

In this paper, we produce a mapping class group invariant pressure metric on the space QF(S) of quasiconformal deformations of a co-finite area Fuchsian group uniformizing a surface S. Our pressure metric arises from an analytic pressure…

We show that ergodic affine abelian discrete actions on the torus, that have a rank-one factor in their linear part, are locally rigid in a KAM sense if and only if the rank one factor is trivial and the action is higher-rank transversally…

The entanglement entropy of a distinguished region of a quantum many-body system reflects the entanglement present in its pure ground state. In this work, we establish scaling laws for this entanglement for critical quasi-free fermionic and…

For fixed g and T we show that finiteness of the set of affine equivalence classes of flat surfaces of genus g whose Veech groups contain a cusp of hyperbolic co-area less than T. We obtain new restrictions on Veech groups: we show that any…

We classify torsion-free real-analytic affine connections on compact oriented real-analytic surfaces which are locally homogeneous on a nontrivial open set, without being locally homogeneous on all of the surface. In particular, we prove…

We use real algebraic geometry to construct an affine $\Lambda$-building $B$ associated to the $\mathbb{F}$-points of a semisimple algebraic group, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a valued real closed field. We characterize the spherical building at…

We show that the class of sofic actions is closed under direct products and contains a (non-unique) maximal element in the weak containment order. For any sofic group we construct nice sofic approximations such that all the sofic actions…

We consider rational surface automorphisms with positive entropy. A Fatou component is said to be a rotation domain if the automorphism induces a torus action on it. Here we construct a rational surface automorphism with positive entropy…

We study the behaviors of quantum groups under an edge contraction. We show that there exists an explicit embedding induced by an edge contraction operation. We further conjecture that this explicit embedding is a section of an explicit…

Let $(G,\mu)$ be a discrete group with a generating probability measure. Nevo shows that if $G$ has property (T) then there exists an $\epsilon>0$ such that the Furstenberg entropy of any $(G,\mu)$-stationary ergodic space is either zero or…

We show that a random concave function having a periodic hessian on an equilateral lattice has a quadratic scaling limit, if the average hessian of the function satisfies certain conditions. We consider the set of all concave functions $g$…

For a locally convex vector space (l.c.v.s.) $E$ and an absolutely convex neighborhood $V$ of zero, a bounded subset $A$ of $E$ is said to be $V$-dentable (respectively, $V$-f-dentable) if for any $\epsilon>0$ there exists an $x\in A$ so…

We consider the space of embeddings of finitely many circles that bound disks in non-positively curved surfaces. We index the connected components of this space with finite rooted trees and show that the connected components are classifying…

We prove a partial converse to the main theorem of the author's previous paper "Proper affine actions: a sufficient criterion" (submitted; available at arXiv:1612.08942). More precisely, let $G$ be a semisimple real Lie group with a…
