A bstract We show that the Kounterterms for pure AdS gravity in arbitrary even dimensions
coincide with the boundary counterterms obtained through holographic renormalization if …

We explore the physics of relativistic gapless phases defined by a mixed anomaly between
two generalized conserved currents. The gapless modes can be understood as Goldstone …

Conformal higher spin (HS) gravity is a HS extension of Weyl gravity and is a family of local
HS theories, which was put forward by Segal and Tseytlin. We propose a manifestly …

In this paper we demonstrate that the exterior algebra of an Atiyah Lie algebroid generalizes
the familiar notions of the physicist's BRST complex. To reach this conclusion, we develop a …

A bstract We study the possibility for a unitary theory of partially-massless (PM) spin-two field
interacting with Gravity in arbitrary dimensions. We show that the gauge and parity invariant …

Specific emitter identification (SEI), as an important problem in situational awareness,
identifies emitters via unique characteristics. However, current SEI methods mostly suffer …

The first part of this thesis focuses on the Weyl-covariant nature of holography. We
generalize the Fefferman-Graham (FG) ambient construction for conformal geometry to a …

We elucidate the dependence of the Casimir energy on the trace anomaly coefficients for a
six-dimensional (6D) conformal field theory on R× S 5. This extends the universal …
