Black hole stereotyping: Induced gravito-static polarization
Barak Kol, Michael Smolkin
We discuss the black hole effective action and define its static subsector. We determine the induced gravito-static polarization constants (electric Love numbers) of static black h…
Holographic Calculations of Renyi Entropy
Janet Hung, Robert C. Myers, Michael Smolkin +1
We extend the approach of Casini, Huerta and Myers to a new calculation of the Renyi entropy of a general CFT in d dimensions with a spherical entangling surface, in terms of certa…
Some Calculable Contributions to Holographic Entanglement Entropy
Ling-Yan Hung, Robert C. Myers, Michael Smolkin
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we examine entanglement entropy for a boundary theory deformed by a relevant operator and establish two results. The first is that if there is a c…
On the dynamical generation of the Maxwell term and scale invariance
Eliezer Rabinovici, Michael Smolkin
Gauge theories with no Maxwell term are investigated in various setups. The dynamical generation of the Maxwell term is correlated to the scale invariance properties of the system.…
On Holographic Entanglement Entropy and Higher Curvature Gravity
Ling-Yan Hung, Robert C. Myers, Michael Smolkin
We examine holographic entanglement entropy with higher curvature gravity in the bulk. We show that in general Wald's formula for horizon entropy does not yield the correct entangl…
