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 study the von Neumann and R\'enyi entanglement entropy (EE) of scale-invariant theories defined on tori in 2+1 and 3+1 spacetime dimensions. We focus on spatial bi-partitions of the torus into two cylinders, and allow for twisted…
Using Morse-Bott techniques adapted to the gauge-theoretic setting, we show that the limiting boundary values of the space of finite energy monopoles on a connected 3-manifold with at least two cylindrical ends provides an immersed…
Casini et al raise the issue that the entanglement entropy in gauge theories is ambiguous because its definition depends on the choice of the boundary between two regions.; even a small change in the boundary could annihilate the otherwise…
We study some aspects of a class of non-AdS holography where the 3d bulk gravity is given by Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity (GMMG). We consider the spacelike warped $AdS_3$ ($WAdS_3$) black hole solution of this model where the 2d dual…
The entanglement entropy (EE) has emerged as an important window into the structure of complex quantum states of matter. We analyze the universal part of the EE for gapless systems put on tori in 2d/3d, denoted by $\chi$. Focusing on scale…
In this article, we investigate the entanglement structure of bipartite mixed states in (1+1)-dimensional boundary conformal field theories (BCFT$_2$s) through the odd entanglement entropy (OEE) by employing an appropriate replica…
We consider the universal part of entanglement entropy across a plane in flat space for a QFT, giving a non-perturbative expression in terms of a spectral function. We study the change in entanglement entropy under a deformation by a…
We formulate a precise holographic duality between an ensemble of 4d $U(1)^g$ Maxwell theories living on a spin four-manifold $M_4$ and an Abelian BF-type 2-form gauge theory of level $N$, summed over all five-manifolds with boundary $M_4$.…
In this thesis we explore general aspects of the entanglement entropy (EE) for Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) dual to Cubic Curvature Gravity. We derived a covariant expression for the EE by using a scheme inherited from the bulk…
Recent proposals suggest that detecting entanglement between two spatially superposed masses would establish the quantum nature of gravity. However, these gravitationally induced entanglement (GIE) experiments rely on assumptions about…
We compute directly the entanglement entropy of spatial regions in Chern-Simons gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions using surgery. We use these results to determine the universal topological piece of the entanglement entropy for Abelian and…
Symmetry-protected topological phases (SPT) are short-range entangled gapped states protected by global symmetry. Nontrivial SPT phases cannot be adiabatically connected to the trivial disordered state(or atomic insulator) as long as…
Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…
We study some topological aspects of non-abelian gauge theories intimately connected to the Lie algebras of the gauge groups and the homotopy theory in the generalized gauge orbit space. The physics connection to the non-perturbative…
Boundaries constitute a rich playground for quantum many-body systems because they can lead to novel degrees of freedom such as protected boundary states in topological phases. Here, we study the groundstate of integer quantum Hall systems…
One approach to analyzing entanglement in a gauge theory is embedding it into a factorized theory with edge modes on the entangling boundary. For topological quantum field theories (TQFT), this naturally leads to factorizing a TQFT by…
We consider the problem of classifying quadruples $(K,E,m_1,m_2)$ where $K$ is a number field, $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$ and $(m_1,m_2)$ is a pair of relatively prime positive integers for which the intersection $K(E[m_1])…
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we examine entanglement entropy for a boundary theory deformed by a relevant operator and establish two results. The first is that if there is a contribution which is logarithmic in the UV cut-off, then the…
We construct a model of 3D quantum gravity based on abelian topological quantum field theory (TQFT), by defining the gravitational path-integral as a sum over all 3D topologies with genus-$g$ boundary $\Sigma_g$. The path-integral of an…
