Sp(4,Z) actions on 3d U(1)^2 symmetric theories: Order-five duality and bilayer quantum Hall hierarchies
Yasin F. Alam, Andreas Karch, Da-Chuan Lu +1
The electromagnetic duality of 4d Maxwell theory induces theory-generating operations on 3d theories with global symmetry. For theories with $U(1…
One-point functions in 2D and 4D SUSY Janus
Andreas Karch, Ainesh Sanyal, Ryan C. Spieler +1
We calculate the one-point functions of the marginal operator dual to the space-varying dilaton in 4D and 2D holographic Janus interfaces, extending results in arXiv…
Wet Hair: Global Symmetries in Entanglement Islands
Hao Geng, Jesús Huertas, Andreas Karch +2
A central conjecture in quantum gravity is the non-existence of global symmetries. As a fully unitary theory, there is no information loss in a UV complete quantum gravity theory.…
Universality of Dissipation across Holographic Interfaces
Andreas Karch, Mianqi Wang
Motivated by recent results in spin chains we study dissipation and relaxation in a two-dimensional \ak{holographic} interface conformal field theory (ICFT) in which degrees of fre…
Dissipation in Open Holography
Andreas Karch, Merna Youssef
We exploit the holographic realization of a conformal theory coupled to an external bath realized via a double trace deformation and its gravity dual in terms of transparent bounda…
Nonrenormalization Theorem for Interface Entropy
Andreas Karch, Hirosi Ooguri, Mianqi Wang
We derive a formula for the half-BPS interface entropy between any pair of theories on the same conformal manifold. This generalizes the diastasis formula derived…
