Ahmed Almheiri, Xi Dong, Brian Swingle
We consider the question of whether the leading contribution to the entanglement entropy in holographic CFTs is truly given by the expectation value of a linear operator as is sugg…

Conformal Symmetry Breaking and Thermodynamics of Near-Extremal Black Holes
Ahmed Almheiri, Byungwoo Kang
It has been argued recently by Almheiri and Polchinski that the near-horizon conformal symmetry of extremal black holes must be broken due to gravitational backreaction at an IR sc…
