A Quantum Circuit Model of Black Hole Evaporation with Tunable Semi-Causality Violation
We present a four-qubit quantum circuit model of black hole evaporation with a controlled violation of semi-causality, understood as the condition that information may fall into the black hole but…

Unitary SUSY for the chiral graviton and chiral gravitino in de Sitter spacetime
It is commonly believed that a unitary supersymmetric quantum field theory (QFT) involving graviton and gravitino fields on fixed 4-dimensional de Sitter spacetime (dS4) cannot exist due to known…

Sampling Polynomial Rational Remainders with SPQR: A new Package for Polynomial Division and Elimination
We introduce SPQR, a new Mathematica package for the division and elimination of variables from polynomial systems. SPQR works by sampling and reconstructing results over finite…

Vortex stability in pseudo-Hermitian theories
Pseudo-Hermitian (including PT-symmetric) field theories support phenomenology that cannot be replicated in standard Hermitian theories. We describe a concrete example in which the vortex…

Manifest symplecticity in classical scattering
The Liouville theorem states that classical time evolution is an incompressible flow in phase space. We investigate two formulations of classical mechanics in which this property is manifested.…

Infrared Quantum Electrodynamics and the Rayleigh-Jeans Physics
Infrared quantum electrodynamics (IR-QED) acquires a natural geometric interpretation once soft photons are described as adiabatically transported electron-photon clouds. Within this framework, the…

Generalized Global Symmetries of T[M] Theories: Part II
We continue the investigation of symmetries and anomalies of T[M] theories obtained by compactifying 6d SCFTs on an internal manifold M. We extend the notion of "polarizations on a manifold…

Geometric QCD I: The Hodge-Dual Surface and Quark Confinement
This is the first of two papers presenting a geometric framework for Planar QCD (Nc ∞). In this part, we establish the kinematic foundation of the theory by constructing the unique stable…

Surface Observables, 2-Knot Invariants, and Nonabelian Electric Fluxes
This work introduces a surface observable for nonabelian four-dimensional BF theory with a cosmological term. The surface observable yields new 2-knot invariants that may extend beyond known…

Precision tests of bulk entanglement: AdS3 vectors
We consider single-particle excitations of the massive Chern-Simons field of mass M in AdS3 and evaluate their contribution at the first sub-leading order in GN to the entanglement entropy…

Application of Solving Inverse Scattering Problem in Holographic Bulk Reconstruction
We investigate the problem of bulk metric reconstruction in holography by leveraging the inverse scattering framework applied to boundary two-point correlation functions. We generalize our previous…

Subleading Color Corrections at Three Loops to the tr(ϕ2) Three-Point Form Factor in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills Theory
We compute three-loop corrections to the three-point form factor of the operator tr(ϕ2) in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory. In particular, our result is valid beyond the…

Reconstructing the Gravitational Waveform from Its Probe Limit

Sparse Modular Forms, Lattices, and Codes
Motivated by sparseness conditions for holographic CFTs, we investigate sparseness of modular forms, lattices, and codes. For this we investigate the free energy of such objects as their weight,…

In this note, we conjecture and provide evidence that quantum gravity cobordism classes are trivialized by elementary generators with tension at most order 1 in Planck units. Motivated by the…

Bosonisation Cohomology: Spin Structure Summation in Every Dimension
Gauging fermion parity and summing over spin structures are subtly distinct operations. We introduce 'bosonisation cohomology' groups HBd+2(X) to capture this difference, for theories…

Global quenches and correlator dynamics in de Sitter space
We study non-equilibrium initial states of quantum fields in curved space-time and develop a framework for describing global quenches as unitary perturbations of the initial density matrix. Using the…

IR/UV mixing from higher-order interactions in a Scalar Field

Orientations of Orbi-K-Theory measuring Topological Phases and Brane Charges
