On the equivalence between the logarithmic and non-linear Schwarzschild action in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Comments: 13 pages; v2: minor improvements, references added

The non-linear Schwarzschild action in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory is considered to be a simplifying influence on the Hamiltonian. We determine the equivalence between the logarithmic and non-linear Schwarzschild action in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory.

On the role of the Higgs in the deterministic quantum theory
Comments: 14 pages, 5 figures. v2: minor improvements

We study the duality between the Higgs model with the non-perturbative gauge/gravity duality and the deterministic quantum theory. We show that the Higgs model is in fact a deterministic quantum theory with a phase separation symmetry. We also demonstrate that the duality between the deterministic quantum theory and the Higgs model is broken in the presence of a non-zero gauge/gravity coupling. We discuss how this would apply to the duality between the Higgs model and the non-perturbative gauge/gravity duality. We therefore conclude that the Higgs model is not a deterministic quantum theory with a phase separation symmetry. We also point out that the Higgs model is a deterministic quantum theory with a phase separation symmetry.
