Energy Transmission Across Holographic Conformal Interfaces in General Dimensions

Igal Arav, Theodore Bertrand, Shira Chapman +2

Energy transport across conformal interfaces is universal in two spacetime dimensions, but its higher-dimensional counterpart has remained largely unexplored. In higher dimensions,…

The Geometry of Quantum Complexity in Open Systems

Ezra Acalapati, Kausik Ghosh, Giuseppe Policastro

We extend Nielsen's geometric approach for quantum complexity from closed to open quantum systems, whose dynamics is governed by Lindbladian evolution. In this framework, complexit…

Probing the Singularity of Scalar-Haired Black Holes with Holographic Complexity

Giuseppe Policastro, Simon Wittum

It has been shown that the "complexity=anything" observables allow more possibilities to probe the geometry behind the horizon of AdS black holes compared to the volume complexity.…

Energy Reflection and Transmission of Interfaces in -deformed CFT

Avik Banerjee, Giuseppe Policastro

Conformal interfaces gluing a pair of two-dimensional conformal field theories enjoy a large degree of universality in terms of the coefficients of reflection and transmission of e…

On decoding the string from interfaces in 2d conformal field theories

Avik Banerjee, Tanay Kibe, Ayan Mukhopadhyay +1

General solutions of a gravitational junction between two copies of a three-dimensional Einstein manifold correspond to the solutions of the non-linear Nambu-Goto equ…

The degrees of freedom of multiway junctions in three dimensional gravity

Avik Chakraborty, Tanay Kibe, Martín Molina +2

We demonstrate that -way junctions in three dimensional gravity correspond to coupled strings each satisfying the Nambu-Goto equation in the smoothened background, and wit…
