Time-independence of gravitational Rényi entropies and unitarity in quantum gravity

Donald Marolf, Zhencheng Wang

The Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi surface computing the entropy of a domain of dependence on an asymptotically AdS boundary is known to be causally inaccessible…

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…

Traversability of Multi-Boundary Wormholes

Abdulrahim Al Balushi, Zhencheng Wang, Donald Marolf

We generalize the Gao-Jafferis-Wall construction of traversable two-sided wormholes to multi-boundary wormholes. In our construction, we take the background spacetime to be multi-b…

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…

Probing phase transitions of holographic entanglement entropy with fixed area states

Donald Marolf, Shannon Wang, Zhencheng Wang

Recent results suggest that new corrections to holographic entanglement entropy should arise near phase transitions of the associated Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) surface. We study such cor…

Restricted Maximin surfaces and HRT in generic black hole spacetimes

Donald Marolf, Aron C. Wall, Zhencheng Wang

The AdS/CFT understanding of CFT entanglement is based on HRT surfaces in the dual bulk spacetime. While such surfaces need not exist in sufficiently general spacetimes, the maximi…
