The action of geometric entropy in topologically massive gravity

M Kaplan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Due to the presence of a gravitational anomaly in topologically massive gravity
(TMG), the geometric entropy is no longer simply the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi …

On actions for (entangling) surfaces and DCFTs

J Armas, J Tarrio - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract The dynamics of surfaces and interfaces describe many physical systems,
including fluid membranes, entanglement entropy and the coupling of defects to quantum …

On the Shape of Things: From holography to elastica

P Fonda, V Jejjala, A Veliz-Osorio - Annals of Physics, 2017 - Elsevier
We explore the question of which shape a manifold is compelled to take when immersed in
another one, provided it must be the extremum of some functional. We consider a family of …

Quantum Operators in Gravity: from Geometric Entropies to Group-Averaged Observables

ME Kaplan - 2024 - search.proquest.com
In this thesis, we first study the action of Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) area
operators on the covariant phase space of classical solutions in Einstein-Hilbert gravity. We …
