Holographic thermal field theory on curved spacetimes

Donald Marolf, Mukund Rangamani, Toby Wiseman

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates certain strongly coupled CFTs with large effective central charge to semi-classical gravitational theories with AdS asymptotics. W…

Group Averaging for de Sitter free fields

Donald Marolf, Ian A. Morrison

Perturbative gravity about global de Sitter space is subject to linearization-stability constraints. Such constraints imply that quantum states of matter fields couple consistently…

Holographic Thought Experiments

Donald Marolf

The Hamiltonian of classical anti-de Sitter gravity is a pure boundary term on-shell. If this remains true in non-perturbative quantum gravity then i) boundary observables will evo…

Unitarity and Holography in Gravitational Physics

Donald Marolf

Because the gravitational Hamiltonian is a pure boundary term on-shell, asymptotic gravitational fields store information in a manner not possible in local field theories. This fac…

Setting the boundary free in AdS/CFT

Geoffrey Compère, Don Marolf

We describe a new class of boundary conditions for AdS_{d+1} under which the boundary metric becomes a dynamical field. The key technical point is to show that contributions from b…

Holographic Renormalization of Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes

Robert B. Mann, Donald Marolf

A new local, covariant ``counter-term'' is used to construct a variational principle for asymptotically flat spacetimes in any spacetime dimension . The new counter-term…
