Generalized Gibbs Ensemble and the Statistics of KdV Charges in 2D CFT

Alexander Maloney, Gim Seng Ng, Simon F. Ross +1

Two-dimensional CFTs have an infinite set of commuting conserved charges, known as the quantum KdV charges. We study the Generalized Gibbs Ensemble with chemical potentials for the…

Thermal Correlation Functions of KdV Charges in 2D CFT

Alexander Maloney, Gim Seng Ng, Simon F. Ross +1

Two dimensional CFTs have an infinite set of commuting conserved charges, known as the quantum KdV charges, built out of the stress tensor. We compute the thermal correlation funct…

Monstrous Product CFTs in the Grand Canonical Ensemble

Paul de Lange, Alexander Maloney, Erik Verlinde

We study symmetric products of the chiral 'Monster' conformal field theory with c=24 in the grand canonical ensemble by introducing a complex parameter ρ, whose imaginary part repr…

Phase transitions in 3D gravity and fractal dimension

Xi Dong, Shaun Maguire, Alexander Maloney +1

We show that for three dimensional gravity with higher genus boundary conditions, if the theory possesses a sufficiently light scalar, there is a second order phase transition wher…

Thermal Conformal Blocks

Yan Gobeil, Alexander Maloney, Gim Seng Ng +1

We study conformal blocks for thermal one-point-functions on the sphere in conformal field theories of general dimension. These thermal conformal blocks satisfy second order Casimi…

Holographic complexity is nonlocal

Zicao Fu, Alexander Maloney, Donald Marolf +2

We study the "complexity equals volume" (CV) and "complexity equals action" (CA) conjectures by examining moments of of time symmetry for wormholes having asymptoti…
