Slow scrambling in extremal BTZ and microstate geometries
Ben Craps, Marine De Clerck, Philip Hacker +2
Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) that capture maximally chaotic properties of a black hole are determined by scattering processes near the horizon. This prompts the question t…
Caustics bounding entanglement wedges
Marine De Clerck, Charles Rabideau, Niklas Tanger
We study the caustics on the boundaries of entanglement wedges in the context of holography in asymptotically AdS spacetimes. These entanglement wedges play an important role i…
Lyapunov growth in quantum spin chains
Ben Craps, Marine De Clerck, Djunes Janssens +2
The Ising spin chain with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields is often used in studies of quantum chaos, displaying both chaotic and integrable regions in its parameter spa…
The dual of non-extremal area: differential entropy in higher dimensions
Vijay Balasubramanian, Charles Rabideau
The Ryu-Takayanagi formula relates entanglement entropy in a field theory to the area of extremal surfaces anchored to the boundary of a dual AdS space. It is interesting to ask if…
Emergent classical spacetime from microstates of an incipient black hole
Vijay Balasubramanian, David Berenstein, Aitor Lewkowycz +3
Black holes have an enormous underlying space of microstates, but universal macroscopic physics characterized by mass, charge and angular momentum as well as a causally disconnecte…
Nonlinear Gravity from Entanglement in Conformal Field Theories
Thomas Faulkner, Felix M. Haehl, Eliot Hijano +3
In this paper, we demonstrate the emergence of nonlinear gravitational equations directly from the physics of a broad class of conformal field theories. We consider CFT excited sta…
