Gauge theories with non-trivial boundary conditions: Black holes

Peng Cheng

We study the partition function and entropy of U(1) gauge theories with multiple boundaries on the black holes background. The nontrivial boundary conditions allow residual zero lo…

Approximate higher-form symmetries, topological defects, and dynamical phase transitions

Jay Armas, Akash Jain

Higher-form symmetries are a valuable tool for classifying topological phases of matter. However, emergent higher-form symmetries in interacting many-body quantum systems are not t…

On the universal behavior of -deformed CFTs: single and double-trace partition functions at large

Luis Apolo, Wei Song, Boyang Yu

We study universal properties of the torus partition function of -deformed CFTs under the assumption of modular invariance, for both the original version, referred to as t…

Quantum state reduction of general initial states through spontaneous unitarity violation

Aritro Mukherjee, Srinivas Gotur, Jelle Aalberts +3

The inability of Schrodinger's unitary time evolution to describe measurement of a quantum state remains a central foundational problem. It was recently suggested that the unitarit…

Upper Bounds on the Distillable Randomness of Bipartite Quantum States

Ludovico Lami, Bartosz Regula, Xin Wang +1

The distillable randomness of a bipartite quantum state is an information-theoretic quantity equal to the largest net rate at which shared randomness can be distilled from the stat…

Holographic duals of the * gauge theory

Jay Armas, Giorgos Batzios, Jan Pieter van der Schaar

We use the long-wavelength effective theory of black branes (blackfold approach) to perturbatively construct holographic duals of the vacua of the * supersymmetric g…

Near-Extremal Limits of de Sitter Black Holes

Alejandra Castro, Francesca Mariani, Chiara Toldo

We analyze the thermodynamic response near extremality of charged black holes in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a positive cosmological constant. The latter exhibit…

Transient Radio Lines from Axion Miniclusters and Axion Stars

Samuel J. Witte, Sebastian Baum, Matthew Lawson +3

Gravitationally bound clumps of dark matter axions in the form of 'miniclusters' or even denser 'axion stars' can generate strong radio signals through axion-photon conversion when…

Conformal field theories dual to quantum gravity with strongly coupled matter

Luis Apolo, Alexandre Belin, Suzanne Bintanja +2

A holographic conformal field theory is dual to semi-classical general relativity in Anti-de Sitter space coupled to matter fields. If the CFT factorizes in the large- limit, th…

Discrete symmetries and Efficient Counting of Operators

Simon Calò, Coenraad Marinissen, Rudi Rahn

We present DECO ("Discrete and Efficient Counting of Operators"), an implementation of the Hilbert Series to enumerate subleading operator bases for SMEFT-like EFTs with symmetry g…

Topology of chalcogen chains

Adam Kłosiński, Wojciech Brzezicki, Alexander Lau +4

We investigate the topological properties of the helical atomic chains occurring in elemental selenium and tellurium. We postulate a realistic model that includes spin-orbit intera…

Boundary and bulk notions of transport in the AdS/CFT correspondence

Bowen Chen, Bartlomiej Czech, Jan de Boer +2

We construct operators in holographic two-dimensional conformal field theory, which act locally in the code subspace as arbitrary bulk spacelike vector fields. Key to the construct…

Ultrafast formation of topological defects in a 2D charge density wave

Yun Cheng, Alfred Zong, Lijun Wu +13

Topological defects play a key role in nonequilibrium phase transitions, ranging from birth of the early universe to quantum critical behavior of ultracold atoms. In solids, transi…

Hydrodynamics of plastic deformations in electronic crystals

Jay Armas, Erik van Heumen, Akash Jain +1

We construct a new hydrodynamic framework describing plastic deformations in electronic crystals. The framework accounts for pinning, phase, and momentum relaxation effects due to…

Disks, spikes, and clouds: distinguishing environmental effects on BBH gravitational waveforms

Philippa S. Cole, Gianfranco Bertone, Adam Coogan +5

Future gravitational wave interferometers such as LISA, Taiji, DECIGO, and TianQin, will enable precision studies of the environment surrounding black holes. In this paper, we stud…

On the relation between the subadditivity cone and the quantum entropy cone

Temple He, Veronika E. Hubeny, Massimiliano Rota

Given a multipartite quantum system, what are the possible ways to impose mutual independence among some subsystems, and the presence of correlations among others, such that there…
