Aspects of the bulk flat space limit in AdS/CFT

David Berenstein, Joan Simon

The flat space limit of scalar bulk fields in AdS is discussed within a Lorentzian canonical quantization setup tailored to describe AdS state preparation and to extract the flat S…

The endpoint of partial deconfinement

David Berenstein, Kai Yan

We study the matrix quantum mechanics of two free hermitian matrices subject to a singlet constraint in the microcanonical ensemble. This is the simplest example of a t…

Integrable Spin Chains from large- QCD at strong coupling

David Berenstein, Hiroki Kawai

We study a spin chain for a confining string that arises at first order in degenerate perturbation from the strong-coupling expansion of the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian on a square…

One-dimensional reflection in the quantum mechanical bootstrap

David Berenstein, George Hulsey

We describe the application of the quantum mechanical bootstrap to the solution of one-dimensional scattering problems. By fixing a boundary and modulating the Robin parameter of t…

Chaotic LLM billiards

David Berenstein, Elliot Maderazo, Robinson Mancilla +1

We study null geodesics of the ten-dimensional LLM geometries. In particular, we show that there are a subset of these null geodesics that are confined to the LLM plane. The effect…

Staggered bosons

David Berenstein

A model with a half boson degree of freedom per lattice site in one dimension is developed. The boson is protected from developing a gap by translation symmetry: while the left mov…
