Second order effect of twist deformation in the D1D5 CFT
Zaq Carson, Shaun Hampton, Samir D. Mathur
Thermalization in the D1D5 CFT should occur via interactions caused by the twist operator, which deforms the theory off its free orbifold point. Earlier studies investigating this…
Full action of two deformation operators in the D1D5 CFT
Zaq Carson, Shaun Hampton, Samir D. Mathur
We are interested in thermalization in the D1D5 CFT, since this process is expected to be dual to black hole formation. We expect that the lowest order process where thermalization…
Bogoliubov coefficients for the twist operator in the D1D5 CFT
Zaq Carson, Samir D. Mathur, David Turton
The D1D5 CFT is a holographic dual of a near-extremal black hole in string theory. The interaction in this theory involves a twist operator which joins together different copies of…
One-Loop Transition Amplitudes in the D1D5 CFT
Zaq Carson, Shaun Hampton, Samir D. Mathur
We consider the issue of thermalization in the D1D5 CFT. Thermalization is expected to correspond to the formation of a black hole in the dual gravity theory. We start from the orb…
Component twist method for higher twists in D1D5 CFT
Zaq Carson, Ian T. Jardine, Amanda W. Peet
The deformation operator of the D1D5 orbifold CFT, a twist 2 operator, drives the CFT towards the black hole dual and its physics is key to understanding thermalization in the D1D5…
Effect of the deformation operator in the D1D5 CFT
Zaq Carson, Shaun Hampton, Samir D. Mathur +1
The D1D5 CFT gives a holographic dual description of a near-extremal black hole in string theory. The interaction in this theory is given by a marginal deformation operator, which…
