The s-wave approximation to the black hole dynamics has attracted considerable attention recently. However, the near-AdS2 geometry of the near-horizon region and decoupling of the non-s-wave modes usually requires a small-temperature limit.…

We use Dwork's deformation method to calculate the Hasse-Weil Zeta function of multi-parameter families of Calabi-Yau three and fourfolds. This information is used to identify subslices of codimension one in the complex-structure moduli…

Entanglement cohomology assigns a graded cohomology ring to a multipartite pure state, providing homological invariants that are stable under local unitaries and characterize inequivalent patterns of entanglement. In this work we derive…

In this work we explore the relation between orbifold singularities and higher form symmetries. Using the geometric engineering dictionary, we argue that the discrete higher symmetries of 5d SCFTs constructed from M-theory on a non-compact…

The study of cosmological correlators, and more generally Feynman integrals, is greatly aided by considering them as solutions to differential equations. Often, such systems of differential equations are reducible, which, broadly speaking,…

We revisit the question of whether Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) cosmic strings can admit Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) configurations. Earlier work by Babichev et al. arXiv:0809.2013 concluded that DBI strings with the standard…

We construct and characterize canonical purifications for general algebraic states, extending prior constructions by Woronowicz and by Dutta/Faulkner to general quantum theories. Given a state on a $*$-algebra, the canonical purification is…

Gravitationally prepared states are quantum field theoretic states prepared by gravitational path integrals with spatial boundaries that have fixed boundary conditions for gravity but not for matter fields. They can be interpreted as…

We consider planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills at finite temperature with chemical potentials that couple either to the $R$-charges or the spins of the operators. We find expressions for the Hagedorn temperatures at both zero coupling…

We use standard techniques of hydrodynamics to construct a relativistic effective field theory for the low energy dynamics of nearly critical superfluids. In an appropriate non-relativistic limit, our theory predicts an additional…

We investigate the boundary reduction of 3D Einstein gravity and JT gravity into their respective edge mode theories - namely, the Liouville and Alekseev-Shatashvili, and Schwarzian models. By examining the roles of boundary conditions,…

It has been suggested some time ago that many black hole properties are not specific to gravity, but rather are shared by a large class of objects, the so-called saturons, that saturate the quantum field theoretic upper bound on microstate…

We define a normalizable measure on the space of two-dimensional conformal field theories, which we interpret as a maximum ignorance ensemble. We test whether pure quantum gravity in AdS$_3$ is dual to the average over this ensemble. We…

We construct a set of higher-form conserved currents on spacetimes admitting conformal Killing-Yano tensors. We find relations between these currents that allow the charge given by integrating one of these currents over a region to be…

We discuss a cosmological scenario where an effective violation of the strong energy condition (SEC) is realized through a coupling between SEC-fulfilling dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE). Although the SEC-violating solutions might in…

String / M-theory backgrounds with degrees of freedom at a localized singularity provide a general template for generating strongly correlated systems decoupled from lower-dimensional gravity. There are by now several complementary…

The crossed product has recently emerged as an important ingredient in describing algebras of observables for quantum field theory and gravity. We combine this with perturbation theory, and study perturbative crossed product algebras…

This paper studies the thermodynamic topology through the bulk-boundary and restricted phase space (RPS) frameworks. In bulk-boundary framework, we observe two topological charges $(\omega = +1, -1)$ concerning the non-extensive Barrow…

In this paper, we delve into the thermodynamic topology of AdS Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black holes, employing non-extensive entropy formulations such as Barrow, R\'enyi, and Sharma-Mittal entropy within two distinct frameworks: bulk boundary…

We explore and extend the application of homological algebra to describe quantum entanglement, initiated in arXiv:1901.02011, focusing on the Hodge-theoretic structure of entanglement cohomology in finite-dimensional quantum systems. We…
