Logarithmic corrections, entanglement entropy, and UV cutoffs in de Sitter spacetime (2022)
Journal Article
Arenas-Henriquez, G., Diaz, F., & Sundell, P. (2022). Logarithmic corrections, entanglement entropy, and UV cutoffs in de Sitter spacetime. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(8), Article 261. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep08%282022%29261

It has been argued that the entropy of de Sitter space corresponds to the entanglement between disconnected regions computable by switching on a replica parameter q modeled by the quotient dS/ℤq. Within this framework, we show that the centrally-exte... Read More about Logarithmic corrections, entanglement entropy, and UV cutoffs in de Sitter spacetime.

Higgs/amplitude mode dynamics from holography (2022)
Journal Article

Second order phase transitions are universally driven by an order parameter which becomes trivial at the critical point. At the same time, collective excitations which involve the amplitude of the order parameter develop a gap which smoothly closes t... Read More about Higgs/amplitude mode dynamics from holography.

The complexity of computing optimum labelings for temporal connectivity (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A graph is temporally connected if there exists a strict temporal path, i.e., a path whose edges have strictly increasing labels, from every vertex u to every other vertex v. In this paper we study temporal design problems for undirected temporally c... Read More about The complexity of computing optimum labelings for temporal connectivity.

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links atomic nuclei to properties of neutron stars, thereby relating object... Read More about Ab initio predictions link the neutron skin of 208Pb to nuclear forces.
