A violation of global symmetries from replica wormholes and the fate of black hole remnants
Po-Shen Hsin, Luca V. Iliesiu, Zhenbin Yang
We show that the presence of replica wormholes in the Euclidean path integral of gravity leads to a non-perturbative violation of charge conservation for any global symmetry presen…
Classifying boundary conditions in JT gravity: from energy-branes to -branes
Akash Goel, Luca V. Iliesiu, Jorrit Kruthoff +1
We classify the possible boundary conditions in JT gravity and discuss their exact quantization. Each boundary condition that we study will reveal new features in JT gravity relate…
Effective entropy of quantum fields coupled with gravity
Xi Dong, Xiao-Liang Qi, Zhou Shangnan +1
Entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of uncertainty of a quantum state. For quantum fields in curved space, entanglement entropy of the quantum field theory degrees of freedo…
Finite-cutoff JT gravity and self-avoiding loops
Douglas Stanford, Zhenbin Yang
We study quantum JT gravity at finite cutoff using a mapping to the statistical mechanics of a self-avoiding loop in hyperbolic space, with positive pressure and fixed length. The…
Many-Body Chaos in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model
Bryce Kobrin, Zhenbin Yang, Gregory D. Kahanamoku-Meyer +4
Many-body chaos has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding thermalization in strongly interacting quantum systems. While recent analytic advances have sharpened our intu…
