• Higher Spins, Entanglement Entropy And Holography 

      Datta, Shouvik (2017-08-21)
      The idea of holography [1, 2] finds a concrete realization in form of the AdS/CFT correspondence [3, 4]. This duality relates a field theory with conformal symmetries to quantum gravity living in one higher dimension. In ...
    • Lessons for Gravity from Entanglement 

      Bhattacharyya, Arpan
      One of the recent fundamental developments in theoretical high energy physics is the AdS/CFT correspondence [1, 2, 3, 4] which posits a relationship between Quantum Field Theories (QFT) in a given dimension and String ...
    • Topological Phases, Majorana Modes, Dynamics and Transport in One-Dimensional Systems 

      Thakurathi, Manisha
      This thesis presents work done on topological phases, Majorana modes, dynamics and transport in various system like the Kitaev models in one and two dimensions and systems with junctions of a p-wave superconductor and ...
