Modular Hamiltonians for Euclidean Path Integral States

Srivatsan Balakrishnan, Onkar Parrikar

We study half-space/Rindler modular Hamiltonians for excited states created by turning on sources for local operators in the Euclidean path integral in relativistic quantum field t…

Entropy Variations and Light Ray Operators from Replica Defects

Srivatsan Balakrishnan, Venkatesa Chandrasekaran, Thomas Faulkner +2

We study the defect operator product expansion (OPE) of displacement operators in free and interacting conformal field theories using replica methods. We show that as approache…

A General Proof of the Quantum Null Energy Condition

Srivatsan Balakrishnan, Thomas Faulkner, Zuhair U. Khandker +1

We prove a conjectured lower bound on in any state of a relativistic QFT dubbed the Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC). The bound is given by the…

Gravitational dual of the Rényi twist displacement operator

Srivatsan Balakrishnan, Souvik Dutta, Thomas Faulkner

We give a recipe for computing correlation functions of the displacement operator localized on a spherical or planar higher dimensional twist defect using AdS/CFT. Such twist opera…

Density of states in graphene with vacancies: midgap power law and frozen multifractality

V. Haefner, J. Schindler, N. Weik +5

The density of states (DoS), , of graphene is investigated numerically and within the self-consistent T-matrix approximation (SCTMA) in the presence of vacancies within…

On the asymptotics of higher-dimensional partitions

Srivatsan Balakrishnan, Suresh Govindarajan, Naveen S. Prabhakar

We conjecture that the asymptotic behavior of the numbers of solid (three-dimensional) partitions is identical to the asymptotics of the three-dimensional MacMahon numbers. Evidenc…
