In this work we analyze a class of nonlinear fractional elliptic systems involving Hardy--type potentials and coupled by critical Hardy-Sobolev--type nonlinearities in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Due to the lack of compactness at the critical exponent…

Entropy bounds have played an important role in the development of holography as an approach to quantum gravity, so in this article we seek to gain a better understanding of the covariant entropy bound. We observe that there is a possible…

We propose an approach of lattice gauge theory based on a homotopic interpretation of its degrees of freedom. The basic idea is to dress the plaquettes of the lattice to view them as elementary homotopies between nearby paths. Instead of…

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…

We shall prove that the celebrated R\'enyi entropy is the first example of a new family of infinitely many multi-parametric entropies. We shall call them the $Z$-entropies. Each of them, under suitable hypotheses, generalizes the celebrated…

We prove existence of equilibrium states with special properties for a class of distance expanding local homeomorphisms on compact metric spaces and continuous potentials. Moreover, we formulate a C$^1$ generalization of Pesin's Entropy…

We review spherical and inhomogeneous analytic solutions of the field equations of Einstein and of scalar-tensor gravity, including Brans-Dicke theory, non-minimally (possibly conformally) coupled scalar fields, Horndeski, and beyond…

We introduce a condition on accretive matrix functions, called $p$-ellipticity, and discuss its applications to the $L^p$ theory of elliptic PDE with complex coefficients. Our examples are: (i) generalized convexity of power functions…

We demonstrate that the most probable state of a conserved system with a limited number of entities or molecules is the state where non-Gaussian and non-chi-square distributions govern. We have conducted a thought experiment using a…

We investigate the existence and properties of kink-like solitons in a class of models with two interacting scalar fields. In particular, we focus on models that display both double and single-kink solutions, treatable analytically using…

We explore the question of which shape a manifold is compelled to take when immersed in another one, provided it must be the extremum of some functional. We consider a family of functionals which depend quadratically on the extrinsic…

Certain thermal non-equilibrium situations, outside of the astrophysical realm, suggest that entropy production extrema, instead of entropy extrema, are related to stationary states. In an effort to better understand the evolution of…

As the second part of a series on linear cocycles over chaotic systems, this paper establishes a "multiple covering principle" that robustly yields positive-entropy ergodic measures supported on fiberwise uniformly bounded orbits. Using…

We survey recent studies of Gauss-Bonnet gravity and its dual conformal field theories, including their relation to the violation of the Kovtun-Starinets-Son viscosity bound. Via holography, we can also study properties such as…

In [14], B-convexity was defined as an appropriate Painlev\'e-Kuratowski limit of linear convexities. More recently, an alternative algebraic formulation over the entire Euclidean vector space was proposed in [9] and [10]. The issue with…

This work deals with the scattering entropy of quantum graphs in many different circumstances. We first consider the case of the Shannon entropy and then the R\'enyi and Tsallis entropies, which are more adequate to study distinct…

In this paper we show that in some cases the E.Hopf rigidity phenomenon admits quantitative interpretation. More precisely we estimate from above the measure of the set $\mathcal{M}$ swept by minimal orbits. These estimates are sharp, i.e.…

To illustrate Boltzmann's construction of an entropy function that is defined for a microstate of a macroscopic system, we present here the simple example of the free expansion of a one dimensional gas of non-interacting point particles.…

We consider the problem of defining localized subsystems in gauge theory and gravity. Such systems are associated to spacelike hypersurfaces with boundaries and provide the natural setting for studying entanglement entropy of regions of…

Entanglement entropy is now widely accepted as having deep connections with quantum gravity. It is therefore desirable to understand it in the context of causal sets, especially since they provide in a natural manner the UV cutoff needed to…
