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…

Connecting flux vacua through scalar field excursions

Gary Shiu, Flavio Tonioni, Vincent Van Hemelryck +1

We show how flux vacua that differ from each other in flux quanta can be seen as different vacua in a single scalar potential of an enlarged field space, which resolves the separat…

Maximal violation of the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality via bumpified Haar wavelets

David Dudal, Philipe De Fabritiis, Marcelo S. Guimaraes +2

We devise a general setup to investigate the violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality in the vacuum state in the context of Quantum Field Theory. We test the method with massless spin…

The Kontsevich-Segal Criterion in the No-Boundary State Constrains Inflation

Thomas Hertog, Oliver Janssen, Joel Karlsson

We show that the Kontsevich-Segal (KS) criterion, applied to the complex saddles that specify the semiclassical no-boundary wave function, acts as a selection mechanism on inflatio…

Complexity = Anything Can Grow Forever in de Sitter

Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Michal P. Heller, Silke Van der Schueren

Recent developments in anti-de Sitter holography point towards the association of an infinite class of covariant objects, the simplest one being codimension-one extremal volumes, w…

The extremal Kerr entropy in higher-derivative gravities

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David

We investigate higher derivative corrections to the extremal Kerr black hole in the context of heterotic string theory with corrections and of a cubic-curvature extension of g…

BRST invariant formulation of the Bell-CHSH inequality in gauge field theories

David Dudal, Philipe De Fabritiis, Marcelo S. Guimaraes +2

A study of the Bell-CHSH inequality in gauge field theories is presented. By using the Kugo-Ojima analysis of the BRST charge cohomology in Fock space, the Bell-CHSH inequality is…

Anisotropic and frame dependent chaos of suspended strings from a dynamical holographic QCD model with magnetic field

Bhaskar Shukla, David Dudal, Subhash Mahapatra

We investigate both from a qualitative as well as quantitative perspective the emergence of chaos in the QCD confining string in a magnetic field from a holographic viewpoint. We u…

A 10d construction of Euclidean axion wormholes in flat and AdS space

Gregory J. Loges, Gary Shiu, Thomas Van Riet

Euclidean wormhole geometries sourced by axions and dilatons are puzzling objects in quantum gravity. From one side of the wormhole to the other, the scalar fields traverse a few P…

The gap equations of background field invariant Refined Gribov-Zwanziger action proposals and the deconfinement transition

David Dudal, David Vercauteren

In earlier work, we set up an effective potential approach at zero temperature for the Gribov-Zwanziger model that takes into account not only the restriction to the first Gribov r…

Interplay between chiral media and perfect electromagnetic conductor plates: repulsive vs. attractive Casimir force transitions

Thomas Oosthuyse, David Dudal

We determine the Casimir energies and forces in a variety of potentially experimentally viable setups, consisting of parallel plates made of perfect electromagnetic conductors (PEM…
