Spin-Refined Partition Functions and Black Holes
David Grabovsky, Maciej Kolanowski
We investigate spin-refined partition functions in AdS/CFT using Euclidean gravitational path integrals. We construct phase diagrams for in…
The Tortoise and the Hare: A Causality Puzzle in AdS/CFT
David Berenstein, David Grabovsky
We pose and resolve a holographic puzzle regarding an apparent violation of causality in AdS/CFT. If a point in the bulk of moves at the speed of light, the boundary subregio…
Heavy States in 3d Gravity and 2d CFT
David Grabovsky
We discuss correlators of light fields in heavy states in 3d gravity and holographic 2d CFTs. In the bulk, the propagator of free fields in AdS backgrounds containing a conical def…
Aspects of Holography in Conical
David Berenstein, David Grabovsky, Ziyi Li
We study the Feynman propagator of free scalar fields in with a conical defect. The propagator is built by solving the bulk equation of motion, summing over the modes of th…
