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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
