Complexity and the bulk volume, a new York time story
Alexandre Belin, Aitor Lewkowycz, Gabor Sarosi
We study the boundary description of the volume of maximal Cauchy slices using the recently derived equivalence between bulk and boundary symplectic forms. The volume of constant m…
Emergent classical spacetime from microstates of an incipient black hole
Vijay Balasubramanian, David Berenstein, Aitor Lewkowycz +3
Black holes have an enormous underlying space of microstates, but universal macroscopic physics characterized by mass, charge and angular momentum as well as a causally disconnecte…
The boundary dual of the bulk symplectic form
Alexandre Belin, Aitor Lewkowycz, Gábor Sárosi
In this paper, we study the overlaps of wavefunctionals prepared by turning on sources in the Euclidean path integral. For nearby states, these overlaps give rise to a Kahler struc…
Modular Flow as a Disentangler
Yiming Chen, Xi Dong, Aitor Lewkowycz +1
In holographic duality, the entanglement entropy of a boundary region is proposed to be dual to the area of an extremal codimension-2 surface that is homologous to the boundary reg…
Thermalization, Viscosity and the Averaged Null Energy Condition
Luca V. Delacrétaz, Thomas Hartman, Sean A. Hartnoll +1
We explore the implications of the averaged null energy condition for thermal states of relativistic quantum field theories. A key property of such thermal states is the thermaliza…
The Holographic Shape of Entanglement and Einstein's Equations
Aitor Lewkowycz, Onkar Parrikar
We study shape-deformations of the entanglement entropy and the modular Hamiltonian for an arbitrary subregion and state (with a smooth dual geometry) in a holographic conformal fi…
