• Abstract: While the entanglement entropy of a single subregion in quantum field theory is formally infinite and requires regularization, certain combinations of entropies are perfectly finite in the limit that the regulator is removed, the mutual information being a common example. For generic regulator schemes, such as a holographic calculation with a uniform radial cutoff, these quantities show non-trivial dependence on the regulator at finite values of the cutoff. We investigate a holographic regularization scheme defined in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space constructed from \textit{horocycles}, curves in two-dimensional hyperbolic space perpendicular to all geodesics approaching a single point on the boundary, that leads to finite information measures that are \textit{totally} cutoff-independent, even at finite values of the regulator. We describe a broad class of such information measures, and describe how the field theory dual to the horocycle regulator is inherently non-local.

  We discuss a non-Hermitian system governed by random nearest-neighbour tunnellings. A physical situation of completely real eigenspectrum arises owing to the Hamiltonian's tridiagonal matrix structure. The off-diagonal disorder leads the non-Hermitian system to a delocalization-localization crossover in finite systems.

• Normalizing flows for lattice gauge theory in arbitrary space-time dimension [135.04925500053622]
  Applications of normalizing flows to the sampling of field configurations in lattice gauge theory have so far been explored almost exclusively in two space-time dimensions. We discuss masked autoregressive with tractable and unbiased Jacobian determinants, a key ingredient for scalable and exact flow-based sampling algorithms. For concreteness, results from a proof-of-principle application to SU(3) gauge theory in four space-time dimensions are reported.

  We show how to formulate a tractable convex relaxation of the set of feasible local density matrices of a quantum system. The coarse-graining maps of the underlying renormalization procedure serve to eliminate a vast number of those constraints. This can be used to obtain rigorous lower bounds on the ground state energy of arbitrary local Hamiltonians.
