Dynamical Edge Modes and Entanglement in Maxwell Theory

Adam Ball, Y. T. Albert Law, Gabriel Wong

Previous work on black hole partition functions and entanglement entropy suggests the existence of "edge" degrees of freedom living on the (stretched) horizon. We identify a local…

Black hole superradiance with (dark) matter accretion

Lam Hui, Y. T. Albert Law, Luca Santoni +3

Studies of black hole superradiance often focus on the growth of a cloud in isolation, accompanied by the spin-down of the black hole. In this paper, we consider the additional eff…

Soft Scalars and the Geometry of the Space of Celestial CFTs

Daniel Kapec, Y. T. Albert Law, Sruthi A. Narayanan

Known examples of the holographic dictionary in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes equate moduli spaces of bulk vacua with conformal manifolds in the dual quantum field theor…

Penrose process for a charged black hole in a uniform magnetic field

Kshitij Gupta, Y. T. Albert Law, Janna Levin

Spinning black holes create electromagnetic storms when immersed in ambient magnetic fields, illuminating the otherwise epically dark terrain. In an electromagnetic extension of th…

A Compendium of Sphere Path Integrals

Y. T. Albert Law

We study the manifestly covariant and local 1-loop path integrals on for general massive, shift-symmetric and (partially) massless totally symmetric tensor fields of arbi…

Quantum de Sitter horizon entropy from quasicanonical bulk, edge, sphere and topological string partition functions

Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Y. T. Albert Law +1

Motivated by the prospect of constraining microscopic models, we calculate the exact one-loop corrected de Sitter entropy (the logarithm of the sphere partition function) for every…
