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…
Generalized Spectral Form Factors and the Statistics of Heavy Operators
Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Pranjal Nayak +1
The spectral form factor is a powerful probe of quantum chaos that diagnoses the statistics of energy levels, but is blind to other features of a theory such as matrix elements of…
Does Complexity Equal Anything?
Alexandre Belin, Robert C. Myers, Shan-Ming Ruan +2
We present a new infinite class of gravitational observables in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter space living on codimension-one slices of the geometry, the most famous of which is th…
The Spectrum of Boundary States in Symmetric Orbifolds
Alexandre Belin, Shovon Biswas, James Sully
We give an explicit construction of the complete set of Cardy boundary states that respect the extended chiral algebra for symmetric product orbifolds. The states are labelled by a…
Non-Gaussianities in the Statistical Distribution of Heavy OPE Coefficients and Wormholes
Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Diego Liska
The Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis makes a prediction for the statistical distribution of matrix elements of simple operators in energy eigenstates of chaotic quantum systems…
Bootstrapping Quantum Extremal Surfaces I: The Area Operator
Alexandre Belin, Sean Colin-Ellerin
Quantum extremal surfaces are central to the connection between quantum information theory and quantum gravity and they have played a prominent role in the recent progress on the i…
