Brane effective actions and their island rule from flows

Nele Callebaut, Matteo Selle

We derive a effective action for semi-classical AdS gravity with an EOW brane of arbitrary tension by solving the radial Hamiltonian flow in a derivative expansion. Interp…

Introduction to holography

Nele Callebaut

These are course notes for the 'Introduction to holography' Master level course at University of Cologne. The goal of the course is to give a pedogogical introduction to holography…

Deforming and dissecting AdS with matter

Nele Callebaut, Blanca Hergueta, Ruben Monten +1

We study deformations of the model by Henneaux, Martínez, Troncoso and Zanelli [arXiv:hep-th/0201170] which features asymptotically AdS black hole solutions that incorporate th…

Setting free for braneworld holography

Nele Callebaut, Matteo Selle

We identify what has been referred to as 'cut-off CFT' in holographic braneworld with or theory (depending on the dimension of the bulk), so that the holographic du…

Radial canonical gravity

Nele Callebaut, Blanca Hergueta

We apply an ADM deparametrization strategy to radial canonical gravity in three dimensions. It gives rise to a concise notation for previous holographic interpretations in t…

The chiral SYK model in three-dimensional holography

Alexander Altland, Dmitry Bagrets, Nele Callebaut +1

A celebrated realization of the holographic principle posits an approximate duality between the -dimensional quantum mechanical SYK model and two-dimensional Jackiw-Teitelbo…

Radial canonical AdS gravity and

Matthew J. Blacker, Nele Callebaut, Blanca Hergueta +1

We employ an ADM deparametrization strategy to discuss the radial canonical formalism of asymptotically AdS gravity. It leads to the identification of a radial 'time' before qu…

Entanglement in conformal field theory and holography

Nele Callebaut

In these notes we give a pedagogical account of the replica trick derivation of CFT entanglement and its holographic counterpart, i.e. the Lewkowycz Maldacena derivation of the Ryu…

Reconstructing bulk equation of motion using CFT modular Hamiltonians

Nele Callebaut, Gilad Lifschytz

In the framework of bulk reconstruction, we elucidate the relationship between the action of CFT modular Hamiltonians on bulk operators, the possible equation of motion for the bul…

Electro-Magnetic Energy Extraction from Rotating Black Holes in AdS

Nele Callebaut, Maria J. Rodriguez, Herman Verlinde

Force-Free Electrodynamics for black holes in Anti de Sitter is considered. We present new, energy extracting solutions of Force-Free Electrodynamics in Anti de Sitter - Near Horiz…

deformed CFT as a non-critical string

Nele Callebaut, Jorrit Kruthoff, Herman Verlinde

We present a new exact treatment of deformed 2D CFT in terms of the worldsheet theory of a non-critical string. The transverse dimensions of the non-critical string are…

Entanglement Dynamics in 2D CFT with Boundary: Entropic origin of JT gravity and Schwarzian QM

Nele Callebaut, Herman Verlinde

We study the dynamics of the geometric entanglement entropy of a 2D CFT in the presence of a boundary. We show that this dynamics is governed by local equations of motion, that tak…

The gravitational dynamics of kinematic space

Nele Callebaut

We show that the dynamics of the kinematic space of a 2-dimensional CFT is gravitational and described by Jackiw-Teitelboim theory. We discuss the first law of this 2-dimensional d…

Equivalence of Emergent de Sitter Spaces from Conformal Field Theory

Curtis T. Asplund, Nele Callebaut, Claire Zukowski

Recently, two groups have made distinct proposals for a de Sitter space that is emergent from conformal field theory (CFT). The first proposal is that, for two-dimensional holograp…

Segmented Strings in

Nele Callebaut, Steven S. Gubser, Andreas Samberg +1

We study segmented strings in flat space and in . In flat space, these well known classical motions describe strings which at any instant of time are piecewise linear. In $A…

Background field and time dependence effects in holographic models

Nele Callebaut

This thesis deals with applications of holographic dualities to the study of background field and time dependence effects in strongly coupled field theories. The first chapters (2-…

On the transition temperature(s) of magnetized two-flavour holographic QCD

N. Callebaut, D. Dudal

During heavy ion collisions, high temperatures and strong magnetic fields are generated. We employ the gauge-gravity duality to study the N_f=2 QCD phase diagram under these extrem…
