We will discuss various boundary conditions in JT gravity and their implications in both the classical and quantum theory. Our focus will primarily be on fixing the metric and extrinsic curvature on the…
We consider various standard and exotic lattice models, and deform them using an approach generalizing the Villain formulation. The new lattice models exhibit many properties that were thought to be…
As remnants of the earliest stages of structure formation, the smallest dark matter halos provide a unique probe of the evolution of the Universe prior to the onset of Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN…
I will explain an approximation method that gives a simple universal expression for the Renyi entropies of an equilibrated pure state in a chaotic quantum many-body system. This expression is independent…
