Various aspects of warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) are studied including entanglement entropy on excited states, the Renyi entropy after a local quench, and out-of-time-order four-point functions. Assuming a large central charge and dominance of the vacuum block in the conformal block expansion, (i) we calculate the single-interval entanglement entropy on an excited state, matching previous finite temperature results by changing the ensemble; and (ii) we show that WCFTs are maximally chaotic, a result that is compatible with the existence of black holes in the holographic duals. Finally, we relax the aforementioned assumptions and study the time evolution of the Renyi entropy after a local quench. We find that the change in the Renyi entropy is topological, vanishing at early and late times, and nonvanishing in between only for charged states in spectrally-flowed WCFTs.

We prove that in the nonextreme KerrNewman black hole geometry, the Dirac equation has no normalizable, timeperiodic solutions. A key tool is Chandrasekhar's separation of the Dirac equation in this geometry. A similar nonexistence theorem is established in a more general class of stationary, axisymmetric metrics in which the Dirac equation is known to be separable. These results indicate that, in contrast to the classical situation of massive particle orbits, a quantum mechanical Dirac particle must either disappear into the black hole or escape to infinity. 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

General relativity explains gravitational radiation from binary black hole or neutron star mergers, from core-collapse supernovae and even from the inflation period in cosmology. These waves exhibit a unique effect called memory or Christodoulou effect, which in a detector like LIGO or LISA shows as a permanent displacement of test masses and in radio telescopes like NANOGrav as a change in the frequency of pulsars' pulses. It was shown that electromagnetic fields and neutrino radiation enlarge the memory. Recently it has been understood that the two types of memory addressed in the literature aslinear'andnonlinear'are in fact two different phenomena. The former is due to fields that do not and the latter is due to fields that do reach null infinity.

We introduce the prime density triangle, a multiplicative array constructed by a modified rule of indices. Two display formats are given: a right-angle triangle with converted and unconverted entries, and an equilateral triangle obtained by mirroring the right-angle triangle about the central term xn. We derive the row-sum generat- ing function and provide worked examples using both direct computation and the generating function. Using a four-rule division scheme applied to the unconverted rows we obtain the sequence whose integer parts sum to the magic numbers for two spin orientations. Replacing the repeated end integers by 1,1 yields integer parts that give the standard harmonic oscillator (HO) magic numbers and, in conjunction with the two-spin-orientation nucleon magic numbers, gives precisely the standard nuclear magic numbers 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126, 184. Furthermore, digital-root reduc- tion of the converted triangle reveals a distinct “4,9,9” pattern whose diagonals concatenate into large primes, establishing a direct arithmetic link between prime distribution and the symmetry conditions of nuclear shell closures. Subshell filling up to x9, deductions, and evidence from nuclear physics are included. A recurrence M = m ± [(n1n2) + 2] is presented for generating further magic numbers.The sequences appear as OEIS A005897, OEIS A018226 and OEIS A007290.
