We consider the question of whether the leading contribution to the
entanglement entropy in holographic CFTs is truly given by the
expectation value of a linear operator as is suggested by the
Ryu-Takayanagi formula. We investigate this property by...
Applying conformal bootstrap techniques to 2d CFTs with an abelian
current, we prove explicit bounds on the dimension of the lightest
charged state in the theory.
I would like to discuss the problem of categorification of
Chern-Simons partition function on closed 3-manifolds. Physics
constructions of Khovanov knot homology, which categorifies Jones
polynomial, suggests that there should be a generalization to...
In the first part we discuss the holographic entanglement entropy
in AdS4/CFT3 for finite domains with generic shapes. For smooth
shapes the constant term can be evaluated by employing a
generalisation of the Willmore functional for two dimensional...
We study 2d (0,2) quiver gauge theories on the world-volume of
D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. The gauge
theories for arbitrary toric singularities are constructed by means
of partial resolution. Each gauge theory is expected to...
Quantum mechanics is distinguished by three essential features: the
Hugeness of Hilbert Space, I.e., the capacity for exponential
complexity; the phenomenon of Entanglement; and the duality between
Wave Function Collapse and Everett's

In this discussion I will present the background to the
integration-by-parts (IBP) machinery as used for Feynman integrals,
and its applications. I will also discuss recent work linking IBP
to some aspects of the algebraic geometry underlying...
I will define the hemisphere partition function for B-brane
boundary conditions in GLSMs and describe some applications to
B-brane transport on spacial classes of (non-) abelian GLSMs.
