Renormalization in Liouville gravity and stochastic inflation

Motivated by inflation and Liouville theory, we consider random $d$-dimensional geometries characterized by an overall scale factor $ds^2 = e^{2 \zeta} dx^2 $ given in terms of a random Gaussian field $\zeta(x)$ with logarithmic correlations. We discuss aspects of the renormalization of the volume element $e^{d \zeta }...

Quantum Chaos and Quantum Optimal Transport

Chaos in classical systems can be characterized by Lyapunov exponents that measure the exponential divergence of nearby trajectories, but directly extending this framework to quantum mechanics has been a persistent challenge. The wavelike nature of quantum states and the non-commutative geometry of quantum phase space...

Emergent classicality and wavefunction branching in an isolated quantum many-body system

Decoherence in quantum systems is conventionally modeled as the effect of interactions with an external environment. However, such a prescription excludes isolated many-body systems, which are also expected to display classical behavior at macroscopic scales. In isolated systems, decoherence must emerge internally from...
