De Sitter Observers and an Effective Field Theory of Horizon Edge Modes
James Bonifacio, Kurt Hinterbichler, Y. T. Albert Law +1
We show that choosing a test observer in , specified by the framed embedding of their horizon , spontaneously breaks the de Sitter and internal sphere isometries to…
Characters, Quasinormal Modes, and Quantum de Sitter Thermodynamics
Y. T. Albert Law
In this short note, we review some recent progress in understanding the 1-loop corrections to the Gibbons-Hawking entropy, which amounts to studying free fields on the de Sitter st…
Black Hole Horizon Edge Partition Functions
Manvir Grewal, Y. T. Albert Law, Klaas Parmentier
We extend a formula for 1-loop black hole determinants by Denef, Hartnoll, and Sachdev (DHS) to spinning fields on any -dimensional static spherically symmetric black hole.…
Black Hole Scattering and Partition Functions
Y. T. Albert Law, Klaas Parmentier
When computing the ideal gas thermal canonical partition function for a scalar outside a black hole horizon, one encounters the divergent single-particle density of states (DOS) du…
Relativistic partial waves for celestial amplitudes
Y. T. Albert Law, Michael Zlotnikov
The formalism of relativistic partial wave expansion is developed for four-point celestial amplitudes of massless external particles. In particular, relativistic partial waves are…
Massive Spinning Bosons on the Celestial Sphere
Y. T. Albert Law, Michael Zlotnikov
A natural extension of the Pasterski-Shao-Strominger (PSS) prescription is described, enabling the map of Minkowski space amplitudes with massive spinning external legs to the cele…
