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…

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…
