Numerical Methods for Handlebody Phases
Jason Wien
We review methods used in recent works for constructing handlebody solutions of Einstein's equations in 2+1 dimensions. Additionally, we provide a Mathematica package for computing…
Holographic confinement in inhomogenous backgrounds
Donald Marolf, Jason Wien
As noted by Witten, compactifying a -dimensional holographic CFT on an gives a class of -dimensional confining theories with gravity duals. The prototypical bulk so…
Living on the Edge: A Toy Model for Holographic Reconstruction of Algebras with Centers
William Donnelly, Ben Michel, Donald Marolf +1
We generalize the Pastawski-Yoshida-Harlow-Preskill (HaPPY) holographic quantum error-correcting code to provide a toy model for bulk gauge fields or linearized gravitons. The key…
Handlebody phases and the polyhedrality of the holographic entropy cone
Donald Marolf, Massimiliano Rota, Jason Wien
The notion of a holographic entropy cone has recently been introduced and it has been proven that this cone is polyhedral. However, the original definition was fully geometric and…
The Torus Operator in Holography
Donald Marolf, Jason Wien
We consider the non-local operator defined in 2-dimensional CFTs by the path integral over a torus with two punctures. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the…
Holographic Holes and Differential Entropy
Matthew Headrick, Robert C. Myers, Jason Wien
Recently, it has been shown by Balasubramanian et al. and Myers et al. that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula evaluated on certain closed surfaces in the bulk of a holographic…
A Holographic Approach to Spacetime Entanglement
Jason Wien
Recently it has been proposed that the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the entropy of spacetime horizons has a larger significance as the leading contribution to the entanglement en…
Adiabatic corrections to holographic entanglement in thermofield doubles and confining ground states
Donald Marolf, Jason Wien
We study entanglement in states of holographic CFTs defined by Euclidean path integrals over geometries with slowly varying metrics. In particular, our CFT spacetimes have fi…
