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…

Critical theories connecting gapped phases with symmetry from the duality web
Andreas Karch, Ryan C. Spieler
We use the ideas behind the duality web to construct numerous conformal field theories mediating the phase transitions between various symmetry broken and topological phases. In pa…
