Unruh detectors and quantum chaos in JT gravity

Andreas Blommaert, Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde

We identify the spectral properties of Hawking-Unruh radiation in the eternal black hole at ultra low energies as a probe for the chaotic level statistics of quantum black holes. L…

Clocks and Rods in Jackiw-Teitelboim Quantum Gravity

Andreas Blommaert, Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde

We specify bulk coordinates in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity using a boundary-intrinsic radar definition. This allows us to study and calculate exactly diff-invariant bulk correla…

A response function framework for the dynamics of meandering or large-core spiral waves and modulated traveling waves

Hans Dierckx, Alexander V. Panfilov, Henri Verschelde +2

In many oscillatory or excitable systems, dynamical patterns emerge which are stationary or periodic up in a moving frame of reference. Examples include traveling waves or spiral w…

Fine Structure of Jackiw-Teitelboim Quantum Gravity

Andreas Blommaert, Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde

We investigate structural aspects of JT gravity through its BF description. In particular, we provide evidence that JT gravity should be thought of as (a coset of) the noncompact s…

The Schwarzian Theory - A Wilson Line Perspective

Andreas Blommaert, Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde

We provide a holographic perspective on correlation functions in Schwarzian quantum mechanics, as boundary-anchored Wilson line correlators in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We first s…

Inversion of electromagnetic induction data using a 2D geophysical response function

Hans Dierckx, Katrien De Blauwe, Marc Van Meirvenne +1

Electromagnetic induction methods are a common means for geophysical survey. For soil structures that are invariant in one spatial dimension such as trench structures, we propose a…
