• Abstract: We demonstrate that the isentropic absorption of a classical charged test particle is classically forbidden for all 3+1 dimensional stationary, non-extremal, axisymmetric black holes in any diffeomorphism invariant theory of gravity. This result is derived purely from the near-horizon geometry and thermodynamic properties of the black hole spacetime, independent of the specific gravitational theory. We further consider the Kerr-Newman black hole in general relativity and analyze within the semiclassical WKB approximation, the conditions under which isentropic absorption may become allowed. Broader implications for the second law and extremality bounds are discussed.

  We show that for any given non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, the corresponding region should be independent of the open boundary geometry. A corollary of our theory is that most symmetry-protected exceptional semimetals should be robust to variations in OBC geometry.

• An entanglement asymmetry study of black hole radiation [0.0]
  Hawking's discovery that black holes can evaporate through radiation emission has posed a number of questions. We employ entanglement asymmetry as a modern, information-based indicator of symmetry breaking. Our findings imply that the emitted radiation is symmetric up to the Page time and then undergoes a sharp transition.

  Recently, it has been demonstrated that the non-Hermitian skin effect generates a new type of PT symmetry, dubbed the non-Bloch PT symmetry. Here, we uncover the geometric mechanism of non-Bloch PT symmetry and its breaking. We predict a new type of spectral singularity singularities associated with the symmetry breaking, dubbed non-Bloch van Hove.

  Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution. We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• Topological Quantum Gravity of the Ricci Flow [62.997667081978825]
  We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.
