Quantum physics on manifolds with boundary brings novel aspects due to boundary conditions. One important feature is the appearance of localised negative eigenmodes for the Laplacian on the boundary. These can potentially lead to instabilities. We consider quantum field theories on such manifolds and interpret these as leading to the onset of phase transitions.

Embedding into flat spacetime and black hole thermodynamics
gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

Black hole temperature and area-law entropy are reproduced from a higher-dimensional flat spacetime embedding, mapping static observers to accelerating observers and counting scalar edge states.
