Over recent decades, the role of torsion in gravity has been extensively investigated along
the main direction of bringing gravity closer to its gauge formulation and incorporating spin …

The success of relativistic hydrodynamics as an essential part of the phenomenological
description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC has motivated a significant body of …

The unitarity of time evolution, or colloquially the conservation of probability, sits at the heart
of our descriptions of fundamental interactions via quantum field theory. The implications of …

In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its
holographic mapping to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and …

A bstract Starting with a choice of a gauge group in four dimensions, there is often freedom
in the choice of magnetic and dyonic line operators. Different consistent choices of these …

We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the
context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity …

We consider second-order viscous hydrodynamics in conformal field theories at finite
temperature. We show that conformal invariance imposes powerful constraints on the form of …

A bstract In a general conformal field theory, perturbations to the vacuum state obey the
relation δS= δE, where δS is the change in entanglement entropy of an arbitrary ball-shaped …

We compute the correlation functions of R-charge currents and components of the stress-
energy tensor in the strongly coupled large-N finite-temperature Script N= 4 supersymmetric …

A bstract Perturbations of massless fields in the Kerr-Newman black hole background enjoy
a (“Love”) SL (2, ℝ) symmetry in the suitably defined near zone approximation. We present a …
