1. The document discusses entanglement entropy functionals for higher derivative gravity theories. It proposes new area functionals for computing entanglement entropy in higher derivative theories containing polynomials of curvature tensors.
2. These functionals are derived using the Lewkowycz-Maldacena interpretation of generalized entropy. However, attempting to derive the extremal surface equations from these functionals using bulk equations of motion leads to inconsistencies and ambiguities in some higher derivative theories like Gauss-Bonnet gravity.
3. The document suggests that the source of ambiguity lies in the limiting procedure used to extract the divergences near the conical singularity. Different limiting paths can lead to different extremal surface equations, indicating no unique prescription
Stochastic Gravity in Conformally-flat SpacetimesRene Kotze
The National Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the Mandelstam Institute for Theoretical Physics, School of Physics, would like to invite to its coming talk in the theoretical physics seminar series, entitled:
"Stochastic Gravity in Conformally-flat Spacetimes"
to be presented by Prof. Hing-Tong Cho (Tamkang University, Taiwan)
Abstract: The theory of stochastic gravity takes into account the effects of quantum field fluctuations onto the classical spacetime. The essential physics can be understood from the analogous Brownian motion model. We shall next concentrate on the case with conformally-flat spacetimes. Our main concern is to derive the so-called noise kernels. We shall also describe our on-going program to investigate the Einstein-Langevin equation in these spacetimes.

TITLE: "One-Dimensional Homogeneous Open Quantum Walks"
ABSTRACT: In this talk, we consider a system undergoing an open quantum walk on a one-dimensional lattice. Each jump of the system between adjacent lattice points in a given direction corresponds to a jump operator, with these jump operators either commuting or not commuting. We examine the dynamics of the system undergoing this open quantum walk, in particular deriving analytically the probability distribution of the system, as well as examining numerically the behavior of the probability distribution over long time steps. The resulting distribution is shown to have multiple components, which fall under two general categories, namely normal and solitonic components. The analytic computation of the probability distribution for the system undergoing this open quantum walk allows us to determine at any instant of time the dynamical properties of the system.

On the k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and applications Premier Publishers
Fractional calculus is a generalization of ordinary differentiation and integration to arbitrary non-integer order. The subject is as old as differential calculus and goes back to times when G.W. Leibniz and I. Newton invented differential calculus. Fractional integrals and derivatives arise in many engineering and scientific disciplines as the mathematical modeling of systems and processes in the fields of physics, chemistry, aerodynamics, electrodynamics of a complex medium. Very recently, Mubeen and Habibullah have introduced the k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral defined by using the -Gamma function, which is a generalization of the classical Gamma function. In this paper, we presents a new fractional integration is called k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, which generalizes the k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral. Then, we prove the commutativity and the semi-group properties of the -Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and we give Chebyshev inequalities for k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral. Later, using k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, we establish some new integral inequalities.

TITLE: Two cultures in high energy nuclear physics
Since the mid eighties a community originating within the Bevalac program at the LBNL has sought to achieve formation of a color-deconfined quark-gluon plasma in heavy ion (A-A) collisions using successively higher collision energies at the AGS, SPS, RHIC and now the LHC, emphasizing a flowing dense "partonic" medium as the principal phenomenon. During much of the same period the high energy physics (HEP) community studying elementary collisions (e-e, e-p, p-p) developed the modern theory of QCD, emphasizing dijet production (fragmentation of scattered partons to observable hadrons) as the principal (calculable) phenomenon. Initially it was assumed that the QGP phenomenon in most-central A-A collisions might be distinguished from the HEP dijet phenomenon in elementary collisions. However, strong overlaps in phenomenology have revealed significant conflicts between QGP and HEP "cultures," especially at RHIC and LHC energies. In this talk I review some of the history and contrast an assortment of experimental evidence and interpretations from the two cultures with suggested conflict resolution.

"Quantum nanophotonics"
Abstract: Quantum nanophotonics is a rapidly growing field of research that involves the study of the quantum properties of light and its interaction with matter at the nanoscale. Here, surface plasmons – electromagnetic excitations coupled to electron charge density waves on metal-dielectric interfaces or localized on metallic nanostructures – enable the confinement of light to scales far below that of conventional optics. I will review recent progress in the theoretical investigation of the quantum properties of surface plasmons, their role in controlling light-matter interactions at the quantum level and potential applications in quantum information science.
"Curved extra-dimensions" by Nicolas Deutschmann (Institut de Physique Nuclea...Rene Kotze
Abstract: Universal Extra-Dimension models provide a promising framework for model building as they naturally have rich phenomenological implications, not the least of which is a potential natural dark matter candidate. This candidate takes the form of a Kaluza-Klein excitation of some neutral Standard Model field whose stability is ensured by some isometry of the extra-space. In five dimensions, such a symmetry has to be enforced in an ad-hoc fashion, which is why six-dimensional models have started prompting the interest of model builders. If flat 6D models have been thoroughly surveyed and studied, the realm of curved extra-dimensional models remains mostly uncharted. This talk aims at showing the features of extra dimensional models on a curved background, focusing mostly on positively curved spaces. I will show that the main difficulty for constructing a convincing model revolves around the issue of chiral fermions in the 4D effective theory and how it can be overcome by the addition of a new gauge field which has to be hidden from experimental reach by a symmetry breaking. After going over the phenomenological consequences of a model built using these ingredients, I will briefly review hyperbolic extra-dimensions, for which several problems appearing on positively curved spaces are solved or alleviated.

Maxwell's formulation - differential forms on euclidean spacegreentask
One of the greatest advances in theoretical physics of the nineteenth
century was Maxwell’s formulation of the the equations of electromag-
netism. This article uses differential forms to solve a problem related
to Maxwell’s formulation. The notion of differential form encompasses
such ideas as elements of surface area and volume elements, the work
exerted by a force, the flow of a fluid, and the curvature of a surface,
space or hyperspace. An important operation on differential forms is
exterior differentiation, which generalizes the operators div, grad, curl
of vector calculus. the study of differential forms, which was initiated
by E.Cartan in the years around 1900, is often termed the exterior
differential calculus.However, Maxwells equations have many very im-
portant implications in the life of a modern person, so much so that
people use devices that function off the principles in Maxwells equa-
tions every day without even knowing it

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

with no killing symmetry in the time direction.
Log(Z( )) = Sgravity
– For U(1) symmetry,
(Camps Mainz ’14)
(Bombelli, Koul, Lee, Sorkin, Binachi, Myers …. and many more exploring the
relation between black hole entropy with the
entanglement entropy)

8. – Conical singularity appears ( artifact of extending the
replica symmetry into the bulk ) but they are “mild” singularity
Gravitational Action remains finite.
– Further claim:- Bulk equation motion has to be satisfied near the
conical singularity. Demanding this we get the
correct “extremal surface” equation.
– Once we get the extremal surface equation we can solve it
and evaluate the entropy formula on that surface and
Voilà !!!
9. Parametrizing the “Cone”
We start with a most general form of the metric:-
– where,
In cartesian co-ordinate,

z = w1 + i w2 , ¯z = w1 i w2
This bulk space-time has . Orbifolding by this symmetry leads
to a fixed point - a codimension-2 surface with a conical deficit.
Zn
Entangling surface can be identified with this codimension-2
surface in limit characterized by .n ! 1 w1 = w2 = 0
(LM,Dong,Camps ‘13, AB
Sharma ’14)
10. – We consider the Einstein gravity first. Demanding that the bulk
equation of motion is satisfied near the conical singularity we will
see that one can obtain correct extremal surface equation.
Einstein Gravity:- As a Warm up

– This gives the well known equation for the extremal surface for
Einstein gravity
Ks = 0
– Matches perfectly with the “Generalized Entropy” result.
12. Higher derivative Gravity
– For the black hole entropy ( stationary) there exists a natural
generalization of the area formula in the context of the
higher derivative gravity- so called “ Iyer-Wald” formula.
– For a diffeomorphism invariant lagrangian , Wald has
constructed the entropy functional by integrating the
Noether- charge associated with the horizon killing vector over
the horizon area.
L
– For dynamical fields , L = E + d
– Noether current associated with a killing vector
is defined as,
⇠a
J = ( , L⇠ ) ⇠.L
–Imposing on shell condition, , we get the Noether charge as,E = 0
J = dQ
– But several ambiguities can occur at this stage,
for eg:- one can add a closed form to the above expression,
˜Q = Q + dY
13. Wald formula cont…
– Also one can add a total derivative term to the lagrangian,
L = L + dµ
which changes the expression for the Noether -Charge.
– But all these ambiguities vanish on a “bifurcation surface”
and we get the entropy expressions solely in terms of local
geometric quantities.

This formula is valid only on a bifurcation surface. One may try
to use this formula in the context of entanglement entropy but apart
for a spherical entangling surface ( which behaves like a bifurcation
surface) this formula does not produce the correct universal term
for the entanglement entropy. So clearly something more is needed.

15. One of the acid tests for these holographic entropy functionals
will be that- we should be able to get an extremal surface equation
for these functionals using “Generalized Entropy” method by
satisfying the bulk equation of motion consistently near the conical
singularity. Rest of the talk will be focused on exploring this issue in
some details.
–These new entropy functionals produces correct universal terms.
So they pass the basic first test. For e.g.:- For example in 5d this
area functional produces the correct “Universal”(Log) term,
–But now wait, if we consider Lewkowycz-Maldacena method
as some kind of first principle way of deriving these area functionals
then,
–We will see that for some theories it works and for some not.
Hence the “Mismatch”.

magenta and paths as Paths (1), (2), (3) and (4) respectively in the text.
Taking the z ! 0 limit first and then taking the ✏ ! 0 limit will kill o↵ all the terms except
the first which is non-divergent. This is actually equivalent to taking the limit along the ✏ = z
path.
• The new appendix A contains various wrong statements: If the metric (A.1) is time (ie, ⌧) -
independent, both Krij and K⌧ij are zero (not only K⌧ij as claimed). Related to this, the surface is
at r = 0, not (r = 0, ⌧ = 0), which makes no sense r = 0 is a point already. These are elementary
points about polar coordinates. It is also quite unfortunate that the same letter r can appear in a
subindex as a dummy direction variable (r belonging to transverse coordinates and ranging from 1
– For Gauss-Bonnet gravity we are lucky , there exist a specific
path in which the limit has to be taken. Then we will get the
correct result.

So there is a “conflict” and seems that these two
methods are not consistent with each other.
25. – Looking for a new way to interpret the result.
Cosmic String (Brane) Interpretation
– It was first observed by Lewkowycz-Maldacena that equation
of motion of a cosmic string is same as the extremal surface
equation for Einstein Gravity.
– It produces a space time with a conical defect. For Einstein
case the action is just “Nambu Goto” action. So we get
K = 0
– The argument has been extended for higher derivative Gravity
case ( Gauss-Bonnet or more generally Lovelock gravity) by
Dong ’13. Referred to as “Cosmic Brane”.
– Like comic string case it leads to singular space time ( ).✏
– Now suppose consider a brane localized at and
extends in
z = ¯z = 0
yi
26. Key Idea
Main idea is that the cosmic brane will be a solution of the bulk
equation of motion with a non vanishing stress tensor in “ij”
directions. As the brane is a localized object , stress tensor will
contain delta functions. So by solving the bulk equation of motion
in the conical background and identifying the delta functions, one
can identify the stress tensor for the brane.
and hence the action which is expected to
be the “Entropy Functional” .
– Let us know look at the Gauss-Bonnet theory first.

27. Cosmic Brane to Entropy Functional

– So far so good. But wait……
29. Tzz = 4@2
z (z, ¯z)(2 1 + 2 + 2 3) 2@z (z, ¯z)(4 1 + 2)K
– We get additional divergences in other components
and Tz¯z = 2 @z (z, ¯z) + @¯z (z, ¯z) 2 1 + 2 + 2 3 K +
4 @z@¯z (z, ¯z)(2 1 + 2 + 2 3) .
– For Gauss-Bonnet case obviously they vanish. But in this case
these divergences stand.
Any attempt to use this method to show that the proposed
entropy functional is the correct entropy functional for
theory should be able to account for these
extra delta divergences.
R2
30. Conclusions
– For Gauss-Bonnet theory ( more generally for Lovelock theory)
proposed area functional and Generalized entropy method are
in accord with each other. ( though the limit taking procedure
is quite artificial )
– For more general theories, Generalized entropy method does not
produce the extremal surface which follows from minimizing the
Dong’s( camps) functional.
– Modification of Lewkowycz-Maldacena method ? One can relax the
condition, that the bulk space time respect the replica symmetry (along
the lines of arXiv:1412.4093 by Camps and Kelly) one can presumably get rid of
this problem ( Work in progress with Menika).
Lot more to explore !!!
– Strong subadditivity and second law may serve as independent
validity check. ( Work in progress with Menika)
