Toward stringy horizons
Elliott Gesteau, Hong Liu
We take a first step towards developing a new language to describe causal structure, event horizons, and quantum extremal surfaces (QES) for the bulk description of holographic sys…

Wormhole Renormalization: The gravitational path integral, holography, and a gauge group for topology change
Elliott Gesteau, Matilde Marcolli, Jacob McNamara
We study the Factorization Paradox from the bottom up by adapting methods from perturbative renormalization. Just as quantum field theories are plagued with loop divergences that n…

Explicit large von Neumann algebras from matrix models
Elliott Gesteau, Leonardo Santilli
We construct a large family of quantum mechanical systems that give rise to an emergent type III von Neumann algebra in the large limit. Their partition functions are matri…
