We revisit the covariant phase space formalism applied to gravitational theories with null boundaries, utilizing the most general boundary conditions consistent with a fixed null normal. To fix the ambiguity inherent in the Wald-Zoupas…

A topological theory for the interactions in Nature is presented. The theory derives from the cyclic properties of the topological manifold Q=2T^3 + 3S^1 x S^2 which has 23 intrinsic degrees of freedom, discrete Z_3 and Z_2 x Z_3 internal…

The Boltzmann-Gibbs-von Neumann entropy of a large part (of linear size L) of some (much larger) d-dimensional quantum systems follows the so-called area law (as for black holes), i.e., it is proportional to $L^{d-1}$. Here we show, for…

In this talk we briefly review the concept of supersymmetric quantum mechanics using a model introduced by Witten. A quasi-classical path-integral evaluation for this model is performed, leading to a so-called supersymmetric quasi-classical…

Causality in linear response is conventionally treated as a binary property: a response function is either analytic in the upper half-plane or it is not. We show that in a PT-symmetric open dimer it instead carries a topological charge. As…

A formulation of quantum electrodynamics is given that applies to atoms in a strong laser field by perturbation theory in a non-relativistic regime. Dipole approximation is assumed. The dual Dyson series, here discussed by referring it to…

Models that combine Abelian horizontal symmetries and spontaneous CP violation can (i) explain the smallness and hierarchy in quark parameters; (ii) satisfactorily suppress supersymmetric contributions to flavor changing neutral current…

We have revealed three fatal errors incurred from a blind transferring of quantum field methods into the quantum mechanics. This had tragic consequences because it produced crippled model Hamiltonians, unfortunately considered sufficient…

The Batalin Vilkovisky (BV) quantization provides a general procedure for calculating anomalies associated to gauge symmetries. Recent results show that even higher loop order contributions can be calculated by introducing an appropriate…

We investigate topology changing processes in the WKB approximation of four dimensional quantum cosmology with a negative cosmological constant. As Riemannian manifolds which describe quantum tunnelings of spacetime we consider constant…

We explore the BPS limit of asymptotically flat black hole thermodynamics, drawing analogies with recent studies of black holes in anti-de Sitter space. Although ultimately motivated by supersymmetry and quantum gravity, the BPS limit is…

We determine the quantum ground state of dipolar bosons in a quasi-one-dimensional optical lattice and interacting via $s$-wave scattering. The Hamiltonian is an extended Bose-Hubbard model which includes hopping terms due to the…

The anomaly of a discrete symmetry is defined as the Jacobian of the path-integral measure. Assuming that the anomaly at low energies is cancelled by the Green-Schwarz (GS) mechanism at a fundamental scale, we investigate possible Kac-Moody…

We solve the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions of $\mathcal{N}=1$ off-shell conformal supergravity in four dimensions and determine the general form of the superconformal anomalies for arbitrary $a$ and $c$ anomaly coefficients to leading…

The virial theorem for non-relativistic complex fields in $D$ spatial dimensions and with arbitrary many-body potential is derived, using path-integral methods and scaling arguments recently developed to analyze quantum anomalies in…

Ultracold quantum gases are highly controllable and, thus, capable of simulating difficult quantum many-body problems ranging from condensed matter physics to astrophysics. Although experimental realizations have so far been restricted to…

We determine the corrections to the entropy of extremal black holes arising from terms quadratic in the Riemann tensor in $N=2, D=4$ supergravity theories. We follow Wald's proposal to modify the Bekenstein-Hawking area law. The new entropy…

Einstein-frame supergravity is accompanied by quantum correction terms because of super-Weyl transformation. The correction term consists of the field strength terms that respectively originate from gauge, gravitational, and K\"ahler…

We describe the physics of fermionic Lifschitz theories once the anisotropicscaling exponent is made arbitrarily small. In this limit the system acquires an enhanced(Carrollian) boost symmetry. We show, both through the explicit computation…

Using Hamilton-Jacobi theory, we develop a formalism for solving semi-classical cosmological perturbations which does not require an explicit choice of time-hypersurface. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for gravity interacting with matter…
