Giant Vortices and the Regge Limit

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
In recent years it has been shown that strongly coupled systems become analytically tractable in the regime of large quantum numbers, such as large spin or large charge.

Phases of surface defects in Scalar Field Theories

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We study mass-type surface defects in a free scalar and Wilson-Fisher (WF) O(N) theories. We obtain exact results for the free scalar defect, including its RG flow and defect Weyl anomaly.

DARK GEOMETRY [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2004
Extra-dimensional theories contain additional degrees of freedom related to the geometry of the extra space which can be interpreted as new particles. Such theories allow to reformulate most of the fundamental problems of physics from a completely different point of view.

A counterexample to the CFT convexity conjecture

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
Motivated by the weak gravity conjecture, [Phys. Rev. D 104 (2021) 126005] conjectured that in any CFT, the minimal operator dimension at fixed charge is a convex function of the charge.

Single-Player and Two-Player Buttons & Scissors Games [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study the computational complexity of the Buttons \& Scissors game and obtain sharp thresholds with respect to several parameters. Specifically we show that the game is NP-complete for $C = 2$ colors but polytime solvable for $C = 1$.

Zariski geometries [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 1993
We characterize the Zariski topologies over an algebraically closed field in terms of general dimension-theoretic properties. Some applications are given to complex manifold and to strongly minimal sets.

Script geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we describe the foundation of a new kind of discrete geometry and calculus called Script Geometry. It allows to work with more general meshes than classic simplicial complexes.

Vacuum Geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We analyse symmetry breaking in general gauge theories paying particular attention to the underlying geometry of the theory. In this context we find two natural metrics upon the vacuum manifold: a Euclidean metric associated with the scalar sector, and ...

The geometry of Sloppiness [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Algebraic Statistics, 2018
The use of mathematical models in the sciences often requires the estimation of unknown parameter values from data. Sloppiness provides information about the uncertainty of this task. In this paper, we develop a precise mathematical foundation for sloppiness and define rigorously its key concepts, such as `model manifold', in relation to concepts of ...

Delayed deconfinement and the Hawking-Page transition

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We revisit the confinement/deconfinement transition in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory and its relation to the Hawking-Page transition in gravity.
