BPS Non-Renormalization in the BMN Matrix Model

Sean Colin-Ellerin, Kyriakos Papadodimas

We show in the -dimensional Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase matrix model, dual to M-theory on a pp-wave background, that the coupling can be changed between any two finite, non…

Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates

Yiming Chen, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Ohad Mamroud +1

We expect black hole microstates to differ in their chaotic properties from states associated with other geometries. For supersymmetric black holes, ordinary level statistics canno…

Generalized entropy of gravitational fluctuations

Sean Colin-Ellerin, Guanda Lin, Geoff Penington

The corrections to holographic entanglement entropy from bulk quantum fields in a classical gravitational background are now well understood. They lead, in particular, to unitary P…

Generalized entropy of photons in AdS

Sean Colin-Ellerin, Guanda Lin

This work analyzes the quantum corrections to holographic entanglement entropy at first subleading order in due to photon excited states in AdS. We compute the vacuum-subtr…

Gravitons on the edge

Andreas Blommaert, Sean Colin-Ellerin

We study free graviton entanglement between Rindler wedges in the Minkowski vacuum state via the Euclidean path integral. We follow Kabat's method for computing the conical entropy…

Disordered vector models: from higher spins to incipient strings

Chi-Ming Chang, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Cheng Peng +1

We present a one-parameter family of large disordered models, with and without supersymmetry, in three spacetime dimensions. They interpolate from the critical large vector…

A 3d disordered superconformal fixed point

Chi-Ming Chang, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Cheng Peng +1

We initiate the study of a three dimensional disordered supersymmetric field theory. Specifically, we consider a large Wess-Zumino like model with cubic superpo…

Bootstrapping Quantum Extremal Surfaces I: The Area Operator

Alexandre Belin, Sean Colin-Ellerin

Quantum extremal surfaces are central to the connection between quantum information theory and quantum gravity and they have played a prominent role in the recent progress on the i…

Real-time gravitational replicas: Low dimensional examples

Sean Colin-Ellerin, Xi Dong, Donald Marolf +2

We continue the study of real-time replica wormholes initiated in arXiv:2012.00828. Previously, we had discussed the general principles and had outlined a variational principle for…

Real-time gravitational replicas: Formalism and a variational principle

Sean Colin-Ellerin, Xi Dong, Donald Marolf +2

This work is the first step in a two-part investigation of real-time replica wormholes. Here we study the associated real-time gravitational path integral and construct the variati…

Large- phase transitions in holographic mutual information

Sean Colin-Ellerin, Veronika E. Hubeny, Benjamin E. Niehoff +1

In the AdS/CFT correspondence, the entanglement entropy of subregions in the boundary CFT is conjectured to be dual to the area of a bulk extremal surface at leading order in …

Supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg Tensor Models

Chi-Ming Chang, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Mukund Rangamani

We study two dimensional Landau-Ginzburg models with tensor valued superfields with the aim of constructing large central charge superconformal field theorie…

On Melonic Supertensor Models

Chi-Ming Chang, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Mukund Rangamani

We investigate a class of supersymmetric quantum mechanical theories (with two supercharges) having tensor-valued degrees of freedom which are dominated by melon diagrams in the la…
