Wheeler-DeWitt wavefunctions for 5d BKL dynamics, automorphic L-functions and complex primon gases
Marine De Clerck, Sean A. Hartnoll, Ming Yang
The near-singularity BKL dynamics of five dimensional gravity and supergravity (and also an extended four-dimensional supergravity) is known to be given by the billiard problem of…
Time-periodicities in holographic CFTs
Ben Craps, Marine De Clerck, Oleg Evnin
Dynamics in AdS spacetimes is characterized by various time-periodicities. The most obvious of these is the time-periodic evolution of linearized fields, whose normal frequencies f…
Time-periodic quantum states of weakly interacting bosons in a harmonic trap
Marine De Clerck, Oleg Evnin
We consider identical quantum bosons with weak contact interactions in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic trap, and focus on states at the Lowest Landau Level (LLL). At linear or…
Caustics bounding entanglement wedges
Marine De Clerck, Charles Rabideau, Niklas Tanger
We study the caustics on the boundaries of entanglement wedges in the context of holography in asymptotically AdS spacetimes. These entanglement wedges play an important role i…
Superluminal chaos after a quantum quench
Vijay Balasubramanian, Ben Craps, Marine De Clerck +1
Thermal states holographically dual to black holes in Einstein gravity display maximal Lyapunov growth as well as "butterfly effect cones". We study these effects in highly non-equ…
Lyapunov growth in quantum spin chains
Ben Craps, Marine De Clerck, Djunes Janssens +2
The Ising spin chain with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields is often used in studies of quantum chaos, displaying both chaotic and integrable regions in its parameter spa…
