Geometry from Information Geometry [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015 We use the method of maximum entropy to model physical space as a curved statistical manifold. It is then natural to use information geometry to explain the geometry of space.

Geometries, non-geometries, and fluxes [PDF]
Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 2010 Using F-theory/heterotic duality, we describe a framework for analyzing non-geometric T2-fibered heterotic compactifications to six- and four-dimensions. Our results suggest that among T2-fibered heterotic string vacua, the non-geometric compactifications are just as typical as the geometric ones. We also construct four-dimensional solutions which have

Spin impurities, Wilson lines and semiclassics
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider line defects with large quantum numbers in conformal field theories. First, we consider spin impurities, both for a free scalar triplet and in the Wilson-Fisher O(3) model.

Boundary conformal field theory at large charge
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study operators with large internal charge in boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) with internal symmetries. Using the state-operator correspondence and the existence of a macroscopic limit, we find a non-trivial relation between the scaling ...

Extremal correlators and random matrix theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study the correlation functions of Coulomb branch operators of four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs).

Localized magnetic field in the O(N) model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider the critical O(N) model in the presence of an external magnetic field localized in space. This setup can potentially be realized in quantum simulators and in some liquid mixtures.

Exceptional moduli spaces for exceptional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 3 theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 It is expected on general grounds that the moduli space of 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 3 theories is of the form ℂ3r /Γ, with r the rank and Γ a crystallographic complex reflection group (CCRG). As in the case of Lie algebras, the space of CCRGs consists of

Spontaneously broken boosts in CFTs
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) have rich dynamics in heavy states. We describe the constraints due to spontaneously broken boost and dilatation symmetries in such states.

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 We investigate the propagation of uncertainties in the Aw-Rascle-Zhang model, which belongs to a class of second order traffic flow models described by a system of nonlinear hyperbolic equations. The stochastic quantities are expanded in terms of wavelet-

Geometry in Transition: A Model of Emergent Geometry [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We study a three matrix model with global SO(3) symmetry containing at most quartic powers of the matrices. We find an exotic line of discontinuous transitions with a jump in the entropy, characteristic of a 1st order transition, yet with divergent critical fluctuations and a divergent specific heat with critical exponent $ =1/2$.
