Medicine show: A Calogero model with principal series states
Tarek Anous, Jackson R. Fliss, Jeremy van der Heijden
The Calogero model is an interacting, -particle, -invariant quantum mechanics, whose Hilbert space is furnished by a tower of discrete series modules…
The Phases of Chaos
Tarek Anous, Diego M. Hofman
We develop a novel physical picture to understand certain universal properties of the GUE matrix model which are typically ascribed to quantum chaos, i.e. the ramp and the plateau.…
de Sitter at all loops: the story of the Schwinger model
Dionysios Anninos, Tarek Anous, Alan Rios Fukelman
We consider the two-dimensional Schwinger model of a massless charged fermion coupled to an Abelian gauge field on a fixed de Sitter background. The theory admits an exact solution…
The Discreet Charm of the Discrete Series in DS
Dionysios Anninos, Tarek Anous, Ben Pethybridge +1
We study quantum field theories placed on a two-dimensional de Sitter spacetime (dS) with an eye on the group-theoretic organisation of single and multi-particle states. We exp…
Sailing past the End of the World and discovering the Island
Tarek Anous, Marco Meineri, Pietro Pelliconi +1
Large black holes in anti-de Sitter space have positive specific heat and do not evaporate. In order to mimic the behavior of evaporating black holes, one may couple the system to…
OPE statistics from higher-point crossing
Tarek Anous, Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer +1
We present new asymptotic formulas for the distribution of OPE coefficients in conformal field theories. These formulas involve products of four or more coefficients and include li…
The quantum -spin glass model: A user manual for holographers
Tarek Anous, Felix M. Haehl
We study a large- bosonic quantum mechanical sigma-model with a spherical target space subject to disordered interactions, more colloquially known as the -spin spherical mode…
An invitation to the principal series
Tarek Anous, Jim Skulte
Scalar unitary representations of the isometry group of -dimensional de Sitter space are labeled by their conformal weights . A salient feature of de Sitter space i…
Density matrices in quantum gravity
Tarek Anous, Jorrit Kruthoff, Raghu Mahajan
We study density matrices in quantum gravity, focusing on topology change. We argue that the inclusion of bra-ket wormholes in the gravity path integral is not a free choice, but i…
On the Virasoro six-point identity block and chaos
Tarek Anous, Felix M. Haehl
We study six-point correlation functions in two dimensional conformal field theory, where the six operators are grouped in pairs with equal conformal dimension. Assuming large cent…
Areas and entropies in BFSS/gravity duality
Tarek Anous, Joanna L. Karczmarek, Eric Mintun +2
The BFSS matrix model provides an example of gauge-theory / gravity duality where the gauge theory is a model of ordinary quantum mechanics with no spatial subsystems. If there exi…
A general definition of -- deformed QFTs
Tarek Anous, Monica Guica
We propose a general path-integral definition of two-dimensional quantum field theories deformed by an integrable, irrelevant vector operator constructed from the components of the…
Phases of scrambling in eigenstates
Tarek Anous, Julian Sonner
We use the monodromy method to compute expectation values of an arbitrary number of light operators in finitely excited ("heavy") eigenstates of holographic 2D CFT. For eigenstates…
Parity and the modular bootstrap
Tarek Anous, Raghu Mahajan, Edgar Shaghoulian
We consider unitary, modular invariant, two-dimensional CFTs which are invariant under the parity transformation . Combining with modular inversion leads to a continuous…
Inside Out: Meet The Operators Inside The Horizon
Ahmed Almheiri, Tarek Anous, Aitor Lewkowycz
Based on the work of Heemskerk, Marolf, Polchinski and Sully (HMPS), we study the reconstruction of operators behind causal horizons in time dependent geometries obtained by acting…
Marginal Deformations and Rotating Horizons
Dionysios Anninos, Tarek Anous, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo
Motivated by the near-horizon geometry of four-dimensional extremal black holes, we study a disordered quantum mechanical system invariant under a global symmetry. As in th…
From Conformal Blocks to Path Integrals in the Vaidya Geometry
Tarek Anous, Thomas Hartman, Antonin Rovai +1
Correlators in conformal field theory are naturally organized as a sum over conformal blocks. In holographic theories, this sum must reorganize into a path integral over bulk field…
Mini-BFSS in Silico
Tarek Anous, Cameron Cogburn
We study a mass-deformed version of the BFSS matrix model with three matrices and gauge group . This model has zero Witten index. Despite this, we give numer…
Black Hole Collapse in the 1/c Expansion
Tarek Anous, Thomas Hartman, Antonin Rovai +1
We present a first-principles CFT calculation corresponding to the spherical collapse of a shell of matter in three dimensional quantum gravity. In field theory terms, we describe…
Disordered Quivers and Cold Horizons
Dionysios Anninos, Tarek Anous, Frederik Denef
We analyze the low temperature structure of a supersymmetric quiver quantum mechanics with randomized superpotential coefficients, treating them as quenched disorder. These theorie…
SUSY in Silico: numerical D-brane bound state spectroscopy
Tarek Anous
We numerically construct the BPS and non-BPS wavefunctions of an quiver quantum mechanics with two Abelian nodes and a single arrow. This model captures the dynamic…
Late-time Structure of the Bunch-Davies De Sitter Wavefunction
Dionysios Anninos, Tarek Anous, Daniel Z. Freedman +1
We examine the late time behavior of the Bunch-Davies wavefunction for interacting light fields in a de Sitter background. We use perturbative techniques developed in the framework…
Glassy slowdown and replica-symmetry-breaking instantons
Allan Adams, Tarek Anous, Jaehoon Lee +1
Glass-forming liquids exhibit a dramatic dynamical slowdown as the temperature is lowered. This can be attributed to relaxation proceeding via large structural rearrangements whose…
de Sitter Supersymmetry Revisited
Tarek Anous, Daniel Z. Freedman, Alexander Maloney
We present the basic superconformal field theories in four-dimensional de Sitter space-time, namely the non-abelian super Yang-Mills theory and the chiral multiple…
