Dissipative hydrodynamic actions and horizon symmetries in gravity

Mike Blake, Arpit Das, Richard A. Davison

We give a prescription to compute a dissipative action describing the large-scale thermal stress tensor dynamics of a holographic quantum field theory dual to AdS gravity, in t…

The Page curve from the entanglement membrane

Mike Blake, Anthony P. Thompson

We study entanglement dynamics in toy models of black hole information built out of chaotic many-body quantum systems, by utilising a coarse-grained description of entanglement dyn…

Snowmass White Paper: New ideas for many-body quantum systems from string theory and black holes

Mike Blake, Yingfei Gu, Sean A. Hartnoll +5

During the last two decades many new insights into the dynamics of strongly coupled quantum many-body systems have been obtained using gauge/gravity duality, with black holes often…

Horizon constraints on holographic Green's functions

Mike Blake, Richard A. Davison, David Vegh

We explore a new class of general properties of thermal holographic Green's functions that can be deduced from the near-horizon behaviour of classical perturbations in asymptotical…

Many-body chaos and energy dynamics in holography

Mike Blake, Richard A. Davison, Sašo Grozdanov +1

Recent developments have indicated that in addition to out-of-time ordered correlation functions (OTOCs), quantum chaos also has a sharp manifestation in the thermal energy density…
