We provide a rigorous, explicit formula for the vacuum relative entropy of a coherent state on wedge local von Neumann algebras associated with a free, neutral quantum field theory on the Minkowski spacetime of arbitrary spacetime…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems is one of the most fascinating problems in physics. Open questions range from how they relax to equilibrium to how to extract useful work from them. A critical point lies in…
This paper formulates a model of utility for a continuous time framework that captures the decision-maker's concern with ambiguity about both the drift and volatility of the driving process. At a technical level, the analysis requires a…
The fluctuations of the vacuum energy are treated as a non-equilibrium process and a stochastic model for the cosmological constant is presented, which yields a natural explanation for the smallness or zero value of the constant in the…
A non-classical formulation of the central limit theorem is given for sequences of independent random variables with finite second moments. Singular sequences whose members all have a degenerate or normal distribution are excluded from…
Two new QCD sum rules for nucleon tensor charge are derived from a mixed correlator of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 nucleon interpolating fields. These sum rules are analyzed along with a sum rule obtained from the usual correlator of a general…
I try to revive, and possibly reconcile, a debate started a few years ago, about the relative roles of a bare cosmological constant and of a vacuum energy, by taking the attitude to try to get the most from the physics now available as…
The validity of non-perturbative methods is questioned. The concept of relative space is introduced.
We consider the loop quantization of Maxwell theory. A quantization of this type leads to a quantum theory in which the fundamental excitations are loop-like rather than particle-like. Each such loop plays the role of a quantized Faraday's…
The 'thin-wall approximation' gives a simple estimate of the decay rate of an unstable quantum field. Unfortunately, the approximation is uncontrolled. In this paper I show that there are actually two different thin-wall approximations and…
In the present paper, the nonlinear differential equation of pendulum is investigated to find an exact closed form solution, satisfying governing equation as well as initial conditions. The new concepts used in the suggested method are…
We study "vacuum crossing", which occurs when the vacua of a theory are exchanged as we vary some periodic parameter $\theta$ in a closed loop. We show that vacuum crossing is a useful non-perturbative tool to study strongly-coupled quantum…
The one-loop effective action for non-minimal scalar modified gravity on de Sitter background with a constant scalar field is found. The corresponding induced cosmological constant is evaluated. It is shown that quantum effects in…
We study the effects of a massive field with a continuous spectrum (continuum isocurvaton) on the inflationary bispectrum in the squeezed limit. As a concrete example, we extend the quasi-single field inflation model to include a continuum…
We extend the scope of our recent Compensated Integrability theory, by exploiting the multi-linearity of the determinant map over ${\bf Sym}_n(\mathbb{R})$. This allows us to establish new {\em a priori} estimates for inviscid gases flowing…
We revisit the statistical mechanics of charge fluctuations in capacitors. In constant-potential classical molecular simulations, the atomic charge of electrode atoms are treated as additional degrees of freedom which evolve in time so as…
We suggest that the correspondence between gauge theories strongly coupled in the infrared and their low energy effective theories may be probed by introducing topologically non-trivial background scalar fields. We argue that one loop…
We study the general problem of the behaviour of the continuum function in the presence of non-supercompact strongly compact cardinals.
Relativistic charge distributions of targets with arbitrary average momentum are introduced. They provide an interpolation between the usual Breit frame and infinite-momentum frame distributions. We find that Breit frame distributions can…
Based on Gauss's law for the electric field, new integral formulas are deduced. Although the applications are not limited within the physics realm, an application is also presented, for the sake of practicability, specifically in the area…
