Mass, entropy, and holography in asymptotically de Sitter spaces

V Balasubramanian, J De Boer, D Minic - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We propose a novel prescription for computing the boundary stress tensor and charges of
asymptotically de Sitter (dS) spacetimes from data at early or late time infinity. If there is a …

Supersymmetric conical defects: Towards a string theoretic description of black hole formation

V Balasubramanian, J de Boer, E Keski-Vakkuri… - Physical Review D, 2001 - APS
Conical defects, or point particles, in AdS 3 are one of the simplest nontrivial gravitating
systems, and are particularly interesting because black holes can form from their collision …

A Immirzi-like parameter for 3d quantum gravity

V Bonzom, ER Livine - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We study an Immirzi-like ambiguity in three-dimensional quantum gravity. It shares some
features with the Immirzi parameter of four-dimensional loop quantum gravity: it does not …

Stationary vortical flows in two-dimensional plasma and in planetary atmospheres

F Spineanu, M Vlad - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We derive the equation governing the asymptotic stationary states generated by decaying
turbulence in two-dimensional plasma and planetary atmosphere. These fluids may be …

Nodes, monopoles and confinement in 2+ 1-dimensional gauge theories

M Asorey, F Falceto, JL López, G Luzón - Physics Letters B, 1995 - Elsevier
In the presence of Chern-Simons interactions the wave functionals of physical states in 2+ 1-
dimensional gauge theories vanish at a number of nodal points. We show that those nodes …

Radiative processes as a condensation phenomenon and the physical meaning of deformed canonical structures

J Gamboa, F Méndez, LS Grigorio, MS Guimaraes… - Physics Letters B, 2008 - Elsevier
We study the radiative corrections of QED3 from the dual point of view and show that this
process is the exact dual to the Julia–Toulouse mechanism introduced by Quevedo and …

Vacuum instability in Chern-Simons theory, null vectors and two-dimensional logarithmic operators

II Kogan, A Lewis - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
A new relation between two-dimensional conformal field theories and three-dimensional
topologically massive gauge theories is found, where the dynamical nature of the 3d theory …

Toroidal compactification in string theory from Chern–Simons theory

PC Ferreira, II Kogan, B Tekin - Nuclear Physics B, 2000 - Elsevier
A detailed study of the charge spectrum of three-dimensional Abelian Topological Massive
Gauge Theory (TMGT) is given. When this theory is defined on a manifold with two …

Open and unoriented strings from topological membrane-I. prolegomena

PC Ferreira, I Kogan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We study open and unoriented strings in a Topological Membrane (TM) theory through
orbifolds of the bulk 3D space. This is achieved by gauging discrete symmetries of the …

It is considered a dimensional reduction of U e (1)× U g (1)(3+ 1)-dimensional
electromagnetism with a gauge field (photon) and a pseudo-vector gauge field (pseudo …
