Untangling Selberg from the Wilson spool: 1-loop determinants and trace formulae in (A)dS
Samuel Haupfear, Victoria Martin, Andrew Svesko +1
Leading quantum effects in perturbative quantum gravity are captured by functional determinants of kinetic operators. We study such 1-loop determinants in three-dimensional Euclide…
Modular chaos, operator algebras, and the Berry phase
Jan de Boer, Bahman Najian, Jeremy van der Heijden +1
Modular Berry transport associates a geometric phase to a zero mode ambiguity in a family of modular operators. In holographic settings, this phase was shown to encode nontrivial i…
Gravitational Wilson Lines in 3D de Sitter
Alejandra Castro, Philippe Sabella-Garnier, Claire Zukowski
We construct local probes in the static patch of Euclidean dS gravity. These probes are Wilson line operators, designed by exploiting the Chern-Simons formulation of 3D gravity…
Kinematic space and the orbit method
Robert F. Penna, Claire Zukowski
Kinematic space has been defined as the space of codimension- spacelike extremal surfaces in anti de Sitter (AdS) spacetime which, by the Ryu-Takayanagi proposal, comput…
