Replica manifolds, pole skipping, and the butterfly effect

Wan Zhen Chua, Thomas Hartman, Wayne W. Weng

The black hole butterfly effect is a signal of quantum chaos in holographic theories that can be probed in different ways, including out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), pole ski…

A single geometry from an all-genus expansion in quantum gravity

Sergio Hernández-Cuenca, Nico Valdes-Meller, Wayne Wei-en Weng

We report on an instance in quantum gravity where a topological expansion resums into an effective description on a single geometry. The original theory whose gravitational path in…

Holographic Tensor Networks with Bulk Gauge Symmetries

Xi Dong, Sean McBride, Wayne W. Weng

Tensor networks are useful toy models for understanding the structure of entanglement in holographic states and reconstruction of bulk operators within the entanglement wedge. They…

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…

Orbit Averaging Coherent States: Holographic Three-Point Functions of AdS Giant Gravitons

Adolfo Holguin, Wayne W. Weng

We study correlation functions of two AdS giant gravitons in AdS and a BPS supergravity mode using holography. In the gauge theory these are described by BPS correlat…

Computable Cross Norm in Tensor Networks and Holography

Alexey Milekhin, Pratik Rath, Wayne Weng

The Computable Cross Norm (CCNR) was recently discussed in Ref.~\cite{Yin:2022toc} as a measure of multipartite entanglement in a condensed matter context. In this short note, we p…

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…

Replica Wormholes and Holographic Entanglement Negativity

Xi Dong, Sean McBride, Wayne W. Weng

Recent work has shown how to understand the Page curve of an evaporating black hole from replica wormholes. However, more detailed information about the structure of its quantum st…

Dilaton-gravity, deformations of the minimal string, and matrix models

Gustavo J. Turiaci, Mykhaylo Usatyuk, Wayne W. Weng

A large class of two-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories in asymptotically AdS spacetimes are holographically dual to a matrix integral, interpreted as an ensemble average ove…
