The Hydrohedron: Bootstrapping Relativistic Hydrodynamics

Michal P. Heller, Alexandre Serantes, Michał Spaliński +1

As an effective theory, relativistic hydrodynamics is fixed by symmetries up to a set of transport coefficients. A lot of effort has been devoted to explicit calculations of these…

Rigorous bounds on transport from causality

Michal P. Heller, Alexandre Serantes, Michał Spaliński +1

We use causality to derive a number of simple and universal constraints on dispersion relations, which describe the location of singularities of retarded two-point functions in rel…

Thermal three-point functions from holographic Schwinger-Keldysh contours

Christiana Pantelidou, Benjamin Withers

We compute fully retarded scalar three-point functions of holographic CFTs at finite temperature using real-time holography. They describe the nonlinear response of a holographic m…

An embedding formalism for CFTs in general states on curved backgrounds

Enrico Parisini, Kostas Skenderis, Benjamin Withers

We present a generalisation of the embedding space formalism to conformal field theories (CFTs) on non-trivial states and curved backgrounds, based on the ambient metric of Fefferm…

Convergence of the Fefferman-Graham expansion and complex black hole anatomy

Alexandre Serantes, Benjamin Withers

Given a set of sources and one-point function data for a Lorentzian holographic QFT, does the Fefferman-Graham expansion converge? If it does, what sets the radius of convergence,…

Massive holographic QFTs in de Sitter

José Manuel Penín, Kostas Skenderis, Benjamin Withers

We study strongly coupled mass-deformed-CFT on a fixed de Sitter spacetime in three dimensions via holography. We elucidate the global causal structure of the four-dimensional spac…
