Two triangular factorizations of the deformation gradient tensor are studied. The first, termed the Lagrangian formulation, consists of an upper-triangular stretch premultiplied by a rotation tensor. The second, termed the Eulerian…

In this paper we show that in addition to the known minimal surfaces which appear in the literature for computing the entanglement entropy there are other minimal surfaces with non-zero extrinsic curvature. We use the approach of…

We discuss the partners of the stress energy tensor and their structure in Logarithmic conformal field theories. In particular we draw attention to the fundamental differences between theories with zero and non-zero central charge. We…

We identify the unique stress tensor deformation which preserves zero-birefringence conditions in non-linear electrodynamics, which is a $4d$ version of the ${T\overline{T}}$ operator. We study the flows driven by this operator in the three…

The above comment http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/22/42/428001 and a previous letter by the same author reveal a great misunderstanding of what Eulerian and Lagrangian quantities are, and a confusion between the deformation of an…

We study perturbative renormalization of the composite operators in the $T\bar T$-deformed two-dimensional free field theories. The pattern of renormalization for the stress-energy tensor is different in the massive and massless cases.…

We establish a dictionary between group field theory (thus, spin networks and random tensors) states and generalized random tensor networks. Then, we use this dictionary to compute the R\'{e}nyi entropy of such states and recover the…

We study a model of two dimensional, topological superconductivity on a square lattice. The model contains hopping, spin orbit coupling and a time reversal symmetry breaking Zeeman term. This term, together with the chemical potential act…

Deriving the motion of a compact mass or charge can be complicated by the presence of large self-fields. Simplifications are known to arise when these fields are split into two parts in the so-called Detweiler-Whiting decomposition. One…

Entanglement is a physical phenomenon that each state cannot be described individually. Entanglement entropy gives quantitative understanding to the entanglement. We use decomposition of the Hilbert space to discuss properties of the…

This paper characterizes the symmetric rank-2 stress-energy-momentum tensor associated with fields whose Lagrangian densities are expressed as the dot product of two multivector fields, e. g., scalar or gauge fields, in flat space-time. The…

We study orthogonal decompositions of symmetric and ordinary tensors using methods from linear algebra. For the field of real numbers we show that the sets of decomposable tensors can be defined be equations of degree 2. This gives a new…

We present a derivation of the stress field for an interacting quantum system within the framework of local density functional theory. The formulation is geometric in nature and exploits the relationship between the strain tensor field and…

We consider an antisymmetric gauge field in the Minkowski space of $d$-dimension and decompose it in terms of the antisymmetric tensor harmonics and fix the gauge. The Gauss law implies that the normal component of the field strength on the…

We compute the stress--energy operator for a scalar linear quantum field in curved space-time, modulo c-numbers. For the associated Hamiltonian operators, even those generating evolution along timelike vector fields, we find that in general…

We present the foundations of a projective geometric theory of elasticity, as well as outline a few possible application possibilities. We give the description of the Cauchy stress and infinitesimal strain tensors compatible with coordinate…

We explore the non-perturbative Dyson-Schwinger equations obeyed by the partition functions of the $\Omega$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=2, d=4$ supersymmetric linear quiver gauge theories in the presence of surface defects. We demonstrate that…

The entanglement entropy in theories with a Fermi surface is known to produce a logarithmic violation of the usual area law behavior. We explore the possibility of producing this logarithmic violation holographically by analyzing the IR…

We study the entanglement entropy of gapped phases of matter in three spatial dimensions. We focus in particular on size-independent contributions to the entropy across entanglement surfaces of arbitrary topologies. We show that for low…

Precise spatial manipulation of particles via optical forces is essential in many research areas, ranging from biophysics to atomic physics. Central to this effort is the challenge of designing optical systems that are optimized for…
