Holographic complexity: braneworld gravity versus the Lloyd bound

Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Ben Craps, Juan Hernandez +3

We explore the complexity equals volume proposal for planar black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime in 2+1 dimensions, with an end of the world (ETW) brane behind the horizon…

New horizon symmetries, hydrodynamics, and quantum chaos

Maria Knysh, Hong Liu, Natalia Pinzani-Fokeeva

We generalize the formulation of horizon symmetries presented in previous literature to include diffeomorphisms that can shift the location of the horizon. In the context of the Ad…

Delicate windows into evaporating black holes

Ben Craps, Juan Hernandez, Mikhail Khramtsov +1

We revisit the model of an AdS black hole in JT gravity evaporating into an external bath. We study when, and how much, information about the black hole interior can be accesse…

Krylov exponents and power spectra for maximal quantum chaos: an EFT approach

Saskia Demulder, Maria Knysh, Andrew Rolph

We examine the effective field theory (EFT) of maximal chaos through the lens of Krylov complexity and the Universal Operator Growth Hypothesis. We test the relationship between tw…

Counting microstates of out-of-equilibrium black hole fluctuations

Vijay Balasubramanian, Ben Craps, Juan Hernandez +2

We construct and count the microstates of out-of-equilibrium eternal AdS black holes in which a shell carrying an order one fraction of the black hole mass is emitted from the past…

Quantum corrected black hole microstates and entropy

Dongming He, Juan Hernandez, Maria Knysh

We extend the semiclassical black hole microstate construction to include quantum corrections to the microscopic entropy using a doubly holographic model of black holes. Specifical…
