Black Holes and Random Variables
Eric Perlmutter
We formulate an avatar of the Fyodorov-Hiary-Keating conjecture for black hole microstate counts in quantum gravity. By holography, this implies sharp bounds on interval counts of…

Modular-invariant random matrix theory and AdS wormholes
Jan Boruch, Gabriele Di Ubaldo, Felix M. Haehl +2
We develop a non-perturbative definition of RMT: a generalization of random matrix theory that is compatible with the symmetries of two-dimensional conformal field theory. Gi…

An -function Approach to Two-Dimensional Conformal Field Theory
Eric Perlmutter
We introduce a framework for two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) in the language of analytic number theory. Attached to the torus partition function of every two-dimension…
