We consider the most general action for gravity which is quadratic in curvature. In this case first order and second order formalisms are not equivalent. This framework is a good candidate for a unitary and renormalizable theory of the…
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…

Abtract: 2-dimensional fermions are coupled to extrinsic geometry of a conformally immersed surface in ${\bf R}^3$ through gauge coupling. By integrating out the fermions, we obtain a WZNW action involving extrinsic curvature of the…
We present the {\em (symmetry-incorporating) formalism of general continuum models with boundary conditions} and apply it to the model with the minimal number of degrees of freedom necessary to have a well-defined boundary: a model with a…
Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism is used to describe the large-$N$ limit of reduced SU$(N)$ quenching gauge theory. Moyal deformation of Schild-Eguchi action is obtained.
After an introduction into the subject we show how one constructs a canonical formalism in space-time noncommutative theories which allows to define the notion of first-class constraints and to analyse gauge symmetries. We use this…
Weyl semimetals are examples of a new class of topological states of matter which are gapless in the bulk with protected surface states. Their low energy sector is characterized by massless chiral fermions which are robust against…
We consider various mechanisms of modifying the effect of intrinsic curvature in gravity with respect to general relativity. Two primary approaches are studied. First, by considering a Lagrange multiplier or an auxiliary field. Second, by…
In this contribution, we present an introduction to the physical principles underlying the quantum Hall effect. The field theoretic approach to the integral and fractional effect is sketched, with some emphasis on the mechanism of…
We show that W_3 is the algebra of symmetries of the ``rigid-particle'', whose action is given by the integrated extrinsic curvature of its world line. This is easily achived by showing that its equation of motion can be written in terms of…
We study the action for a non-Abelian charged particle in a non-Abelian background field in the worldline formalism, described by real bosonic variables, leading to the well known equations given by Wong. The isospin parts in the action can…
The concept of gauge invariance is one of the most subtle and useful concepts in modern theoretical physics. It is one of the Standard Model cornerstones. The main benefit due to the gauge invariance is that it can permit the comprehension…
We derive the explicit form of the Wess-Zumino quantum effective action of chiral $\Winf$-symmetric system of matter fields coupled to a general chiral $\Winf$-gravity background. It is expressed as a geometric action on a coadjoint orbit…
