Higher-spin localized shocks
Diandian Wang, Zi-Yue Wang
In the context of AdS/CFT, gravitational shockwaves serve as a geometric manifestation of boundary quantum chaos. We study this connection in general diffeomorphism-invariant theor…
A new energy inequality in AdS
Gary T. Horowitz, Diandian Wang, Xiaohua Ye
We study time symmetric initial data for asymptotically AdS spacetimes with conformal boundary containing a spatial circle. Such -dimensional initial data sets can contain $(d-2…
Pole skipping in holographic theories with gauge and fermionic fields
Sirui Ning, Diandian Wang, Zi-Yue Wang
Using covariant expansions, recent work showed that pole skipping happens in general holographic theories with bosonic fields at frequencies , where is…
Holographic entanglement from the UV to the IR
Xi Dong, Grant N. Remmen, Diandian Wang +2
In AdS/CFT, observables on the boundary are invariant under renormalization group (RG) flow in the bulk. In this paper, we study holographic entanglement entropy under bulk RG flow…
All-order celestial OPE from on-shell recursion
Lecheng Ren, Anders Schreiber, Atul Sharma +1
We determine tree level, all-order celestial operator product expansions (OPEs) of gluons and gravitons in the maximally helicity violating (MHV) sector. We start by obtaining the…
Pole skipping in holographic theories with bosonic fields
Diandian Wang, Zi-Yue Wang
We study pole skipping in holographic CFTs dual to diffeomorphism invariant theories containing an arbitrary number of bosonic fields in the large limit. Defining a weight to o…
An infinity of black holes
Gary T. Horowitz, Diandian Wang, Xiaohua Ye
In general relativity (without matter), there is typically a one parameter family of static, maximally symmetric black hole solutions labelled by their mass. We show that there are…
A Tale of Two Butterflies: An Exact Equivalence in Higher-Derivative Gravity
Xi Dong, Diandian Wang, Wayne W. Weng +1
We prove the equivalence of two holographic computations of the butterfly velocity in higher-derivative theories with Lagrangian built from arbitrary contractions of curvature tens…
Boundary Causality Violating Metrics in Holography
Sergio Hernández-Cuenca, Gary T. Horowitz, Gabriel Treviño +1
Even for holographic theories that obey boundary causality, the full bulk Lorentzian path integral includes metrics that violate this condition. This leads to the following puzzle:…
Descendants in celestial CFT and emergent multi-collinear factorization
Stephen Ebert, Atul Sharma, Diandian Wang
Multi-collinear factorization limits provide a window to study how locality and unitarity of scattering amplitudes can emerge dynamically from celestial CFT, the conjectured hologr…
Consequences of Analytic Boundary Conditions in AdS
Gary T. Horowitz, Diandian Wang
We investigate the effects of an analytic boundary metric for smooth asymptotically anti-de Sitter gravitational solutions. The boundary dynamics is then completely determined by t…
Gravitational Corner Conditions in Holography
Gary T. Horowitz, Diandian Wang
Contrary to popular belief, asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions of gravitational theories cannot be obtained by taking initial data (satisfying the constraints) on a spacelike…
The high-energy collision of black holes in higher dimensions
Ulrich Sperhake, William Cook, Diandian Wang
We compute the gravitational wave energy radiated in head-on collisions of equal-mass, nonspinning black holes in up to dimensional asymptotically flat spacetim…
Creating a Traversable Wormhole
Gary T. Horowitz, Don Marolf, Jorge E. Santos +1
We argue that one can nucleate a traversable wormhole via a nonperturbative process in quantum gravity. To support this, we construct spacetimes in which there are instantons givin…
Orbiting black-hole binaries and apparent horizons in higher dimensions
William G. Cook, Diandian Wang, Ulrich Sperhake
We study gravitational wave emission and the structure and formation of apparent horizons in orbiting black-hole binary systems in higher-dimensional general relativity. For this p…
