Holography, Brick Wall and a Little Hierarchy Problem
Vishal Gayari, Chethan Krishnan, Pradipta S. Pathak
We propose a heuristic for the brick wall in AdS/CFT: the location where a boundary mode's local bulk energy reaches a (Planckian) UV cut-off. This accomplishes two things: (a) the…
Holography with an Inner Boundary: A Smooth Horizon as a Sum over Horizonless States
Chethan Krishnan, Pradipta S. Pathak
The (holomorphic) partition function of the Euclidean BTZ black hole with boundary modulus , is the -image of the Virasoro vacuum character, . This object…
Holomorphic Factorization at the Quantum Horizon
Chethan Krishnan, Pradipta S. Pathak
We identify a horizon-skimming limit under which wave equations around large classes of black holes allow a determination of their low-lying (quasi-)degenerate normal modes. Buildi…
Normal Modes of the Stretched Horizon: A Bulk Mechanism for Black Hole Microstate Level Spacing
Chethan Krishnan, Pradipta S. Pathak
In 1984, 't Hooft famously used a brickwall (aka stretched horizon) to compute black hole entropy up to a numerical pre-factor. This calculation is sometimes interpreted as due to…
