Dimensional reduction in two dimensions of gravity in higher dimension, or more generally of d=3 gravity coupled to a sigma-model on a symmetric space, is known to possess an infinite number of symmetries. We show that such a bidimensional…

The "Mahler volume" is, intuitively speaking, a measure of how "round" a centrally symmetric convex body is. In one direction this intuition is given weight by a result of Santalo, who in the 1940s showed that the Mahler volume is…

Analytic relations are derived for finite volume integrals over the radial distribution function of a fluid, so-called Kirkwood-Buff integrals. Closed form expressions are obtained for cubes and cuboids, the system shapes commonly employed…

A discrete theory of gravity locally invariant under the Poincar\'e group is considered as in a companion paper. We define a first order theory, in the sense of Palatini, on the metric-dual Voronoi complex of a simplicial complex. We follow…

We review recent results on the high-energy limit of gauge amplitudes, which can be derived from the universal properties of their infrared singularities. Using the dipole formula, a compact ansatz for infrared singularities of massless…

The issue of local gauge invariance in the simplicial lattice formulation of gravity is examined. We exhibit explicitly, both in the weak field expansion about flat space, and subsequently for arbitrarily triangulated background manifolds,…

An exact solution is given for a two-dimensional model of a Coulomb gas, more general than the previously solved ones. The system is made of a uniformly charged background, positive particles, and negative particles, on the surface of a…

We develop a quenched thermodynamic formalism for open random dynamical systems generated by finitely branched, piecewise-monotone mappings of the interval. The openness refers to the presence of holes in the interval, which terminate…

Zeta-function regularization is applied to complete a recent analysis of the quantized electromagnetic field in the presence of boundaries. The quantum theory is studied by setting to zero on the boundary the magnetic field, the…

Scattering amplitudes in the high-energy limit can be described in terms of their singularity structure in the complex angular momentum plane, consisting of Regge poles and cuts. In QCD, gluon Reggeization has long been understood as a…

We study Faddeev formulation of gravity, in which the metric is composed of vector fields. We consider these fields constant in the interior of the 4-simplices of a simplicial complex. The action depends not only on the values of the fields…

The first results presented in our article are the clear definitions of both intrinsic and extrinsic discrete curvatures in terms of holonomy and plane-angle representation, a clear relation with their deficit angles, and their clear…

This article is in the spirit of our work on the consequences of the Regge calculus, where some edge length scale arises as an optimal initial point of the perturbative expansion after functional integration over connection. Now consider…

Using an effective field theory (EFT) formalism for forward scattering, we reconsider the factorization of $2\to 2$ scattering amplitudes in the Regge limit. Expanding the amplitude in gauge invariant operators labelled by the number of…

Macdonald studied a discrete volume measure for a rational polytope $P$, called solid angle sum, that gives a natural discrete volume for $P$. We give a local formula for the codimension two quasi-coefficient of the solid angle sum of $P$.…

An example of the volume and boundary face area of a curved polyhedron for the case of regular spherical and hyperbolic tetrahedron is discussed. An exact formula is explicitly derived as a function of the scalar curvature and the edge…

We point out that there is a generalization to higher dimensions $d=2h>2$ of the two-dimensional Dotsenko-Fateev formula \DF\ for particular Coulomb gas conformal invariant integrals. These expressions represent structure constants of…

Following our earlier work, we construct statistical discrete geometry by applying statistical mechanics to discrete (Regge) gravity. We propose a coarse-graining method for discrete geometry under the assumptions of atomism and background…

We present a new approach to Reggeization of gauge amplitudes based on the universal properties of their infrared singularities. Using the "dipole formula", a compact ansatz for all infrared singularities of massless amplitudes, we study…
