Exploring supersymmetric wormholes in SYK with chords
Jan Boruch, Henry W. Lin, Cynthia Yan
A feature the supersymmetric Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model shares with extremal black holes is an exponentially large number of ground states that preserve supersym…
A symmetry algebra in double-scaled SYK
Henry W. Lin, Douglas Stanford
The double-scaled limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model takes the number of fermions and their interaction number to infinity in a coordinated way. In this limit, two entangle…
Bootstrap bounds on D0-brane quantum mechanics
Henry W. Lin
We derive simple bootstrap bounds on correlation functions of the BFSS matrix theory/D0-brane quantum mechanics. The result strengthens and extends Polchinski's virial theorem boun…
The bulk Hilbert space of double scaled SYK
Henry W. Lin
The emergence of the bulk Hilbert space is a mysterious concept in holography. In arXiv:1811.02584, the SYK model was solved in the double scaling limit by summing chord diagrams.…
Looking at supersymmetric black holes for a very long time
Henry W. Lin, Juan Maldacena, Liza Rozenberg +1
We study correlation functions for extremal supersymmetric black holes. It is necessary to take into account the strongly coupled nature of the boundary supergraviton mode. We cons…
Holography for people with no time
Henry W. Lin, Juan Maldacena, Liza Rozenberg +1
We study the gravitational description of extremal supersymmetric black holes. We point out that the near horizon geometry can be used to compute interesting observables, s…
Infinite Temperature's Not So Hot
Henry Lin, Leonard Susskind
It has been argued that the entanglement spectrum of a static patch of de Sitter space must be flat, or what is equivalent, the temperature parameter in the Boltzmann distribution…
Universality in long-distance geometry and quantum complexity
Adam R. Brown, Michael H. Freedman, Henry W. Lin +1
In physics, two systems that radically differ at short scales can exhibit strikingly similar macroscopic behaviour: they are part of the same long-distance universality class. Here…
The Entanglement Wedge of Unknown Couplings
Ahmed Almheiri, Henry W. Lin
The black hole interior is a mysterious region of spacetime where non-perturbative effects are sometimes important. These non-perturbative effects are believed to be highly theory-…
Signatures of global symmetry violation in relative entropies and replica wormholes
Yiming Chen, Henry W. Lin
It is widely believed that exact global symmetries do not exist in theories that admit quantum black holes. Here we propose a way to quantify the degree of global symmetry violatio…
Bootstraps to Strings: Solving Random Matrix Models with Positivity
Henry W. Lin
A new approach to solving random matrix models directly in the large limit is developed. First, a set of numerical values for some low-pt correlation functions is guessed. The…
Complexity Geometry and Schwarzian Dynamics
Henry W. Lin, Leonard Susskind
A celebrated feature of SYK-like models is that at low energies, their dynamics reduces to that of a single variable. In many setups, this "Schwarzian" variable can be interpreted…
Symmetries Near the Horizon
Henry W. Lin, Juan Maldacena, Ying Zhao
We consider a nearly-AdS gravity theory on the two-sided wormhole geometry. We construct three gauge-invariant operators in NAdS which move bulk matter relative to the dynamica…
The Case of the Missing Gates: Complexity of Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity
Adam R. Brown, Hrant Gharibyan, Henry W. Lin +3
The Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) model arises from the dimensional reduction of charged black holes. Motivated by the holographic complexity conjecture, we calculate the late-time rate o…
Cayley graphs and complexity geometry
Henry W. Lin
The basic idea of quantum complexity geometry is to endow the space of unitary matrices with a metric, engineered to make complex operators far from the origin, and simple operator…
