We prove that the set of visible points of any lattice of dimension at least 2 has pure point diffraction spectrum, and we determine the diffraction spectrum explicitly. This settles previous speculation on the exact nature of the…
Point sets of number-theoretic origin, such as the visible lattice points or the $k$-th power free integers, have interesting geometric and spectral properties and give rise to topological dynamical systems that belong to a large class of…
The sets of $k$-free integers in general quadratic number fields are studied, with special emphasis on (extended) symmetries and their impact on the topological dynamical systems induced by such integers. We establish correspondences…
We revisit the visible points of a lattice in Euclidean $n$-space together with their generalisations, the $k$th-power-free points of a lattice, and study the corresponding dynamical system that arises via the closure of the lattice…
We determine the diffraction intensity of the $k$-free integers near the origin.
Optical entropy bounds for metal nanoparticles immersed in nonlinear optical media and for nonlinear dielectric microdroplets on metal surfaces are calculated near the frequency of the surface plasmon resonance. Similar to the…
We discuss and compare different definitions of the entropy of a black hole. In particular we show that the thermodynamical entropy defined by the response of the free energy of a black hole to the change of temperature does not coincide…
The area formula for entropy is extended to the case of a dilatonic black hole. The entropy of a scalar field in the background of such a black hole is calculated semiclassically. The area and cutoff dependences are normal {\it except in…
The ground state density matrix for a massless free field is traced over the degrees of freedom residing inside an imaginary sphere; the resulting entropy is shown to be proportional to the area (and not the volume) of the sphere. Possible…
The geometric entropy in quantum field theory is not a Lorentz scalar and has no invariant meaning, while the black hole entropy is invariant. Renormalization of entropy and energy for reduced density matrices may lead to the negative free…
Black holes monopolize nowadays the center stage of fundamental physics. Yet, they are poorly understood objects. Notwithstanding, from their generic properties, one can infer important clues to what a fundamental theory, a theory that…
Black holes are thermodynamic objects, but despite recent progress, the ultimate statistical mechanical origin of black hole temperature and entropy remains mysterious. Here I summarize an approach in which the entropy is viewed as arising…
Without pretending to any rigour, we find a general expression of the electrostatic self-energy in static black holes with spherical symmetry. We determine the entropy bound of a charged object by assuming the existence of thermodynamics…
The density of states reproducing the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area scaling can be modeled via a nonlocal field theory. We define a diffusion process based on the kinematics of this theory and find a spectral dimension whose flow exhibits…
Based on the generalized uncertainty principle, we study the entropy of a four-dimensional black hole by counting degrees of freedom near the horizon and obtain the (finite) entropy proportional to the surface area at the horizon without a…
Asymptotics are derived for the scaling of the total diffraction intensity for the set of $k$-free integers near the origin, which is a measure for the degree of patch fluctuations.
Luttinger liquid theory accounts for the low energy boson excitations of one-dimensional quantum liquids, but disregards the high energy excitations. The most important high energy excitations are holes which have infinite lifetime at zero…
The statistical entropy of black holes in M-theory is considered. Assuming Matrix theory is the discretized light-cone quantization of a theory with eleven-dimensional Lorentz invariance, we map the counting problem onto the original…
Modes of physical fields which are located inside a horizon and which cannot be observed by a distant observer are identified with dynamical degrees of freedom of a black hole. A new invariant statistical mechanical definition of a…
Recent calculations have shown that the linear proportionality between black hole entropy and area can be explained by performing a density matrix calculation for a massless free field theory. By applying the same formalism to an empirical…
