Bubbling wormholes and matrix models

Panos Betzios, Ji Hoon Lee, Olga Papadoulaki +1

The thermofield double state entangles two copies of a CFT via a sum over energy eigenstates and is dual to the two-sided eternal black hole. We explore an analogous construction u…

AdS Quantum Gravity and Finite Chiral Primaries

Ji Hoon Lee, Wei Li

String theory on AdS S provides a well-studied realization of AdS/CFT holography, but its non-perturbative structure at finite $N…

Trace relations and open string vacua

Ji Hoon Lee

We study to what extent, and in what form, the notion of gauge-string duality may persist at finite . It is shown, in the half-BPS sector, that the states of D3 giant graviton b…

Bounds on gravitational brane couplings and tomography in AdS3 black hole microstates

Ji Hoon Lee, Dominik Neuenfeld, Ashish Shukla

We study information theoretic properties of planar black hole microstates in 2 + 1 dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime, modeled by black holes with an end-of-the-w…

Exact Stringy Microstates from Gauge Theories

Ji Hoon Lee

We study how the microstates of BPS sectors in string theory are organized in the dual gauge theory. The microstates take the form of a coherent sum of stacks of branes and…

The Giant Graviton Expansion

Davide Gaiotto, Ji Hoon Lee

We propose and test a novel conjectural relation satisfied by the superconformal index of maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions. Analogous relations appea…

Kondo line defects and affine Gaudin models

Davide Gaiotto, Ji Hoon Lee, Benoit Vicedo +1

We describe the relation between integrable Kondo problems in products of chiral WZW models and affine Gaudin models. We propose a full ODE/IM solution of the spect…

Integrable Kondo problems

Davide Gaiotto, Ji Hoon Lee, Jingxiang Wu

We discuss the integrability and wall-crossing properties of Kondo problems, where an 1d impurity is coupled to a 2d chiral CFT and triggers a defect RG flow. We review several new…
