On the Positivity of de Sitter Group Averaging
Donald Marolf, Xuyang Yu
Perturbative quantum gravity about a global de Sitter (dS) background involves constraints that restrict the state of the linearized theory but which appear only at higher orde…
Modular flow and the area operator
Xi Dong, Donald Marolf, Pratik Rath
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the Jafferis-Lewkowycz-Maldacena-Suh (JLMS) formula relates the boundary modular Hamiltonian to the HRT area operator and the correspo…
Superconformal indices and black hole saddles
Maciej Kolanowski, Donald Marolf, Zi-Yue Wang +1
The AdS/CFT correspondence implies that the superconformal index in SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be computed using the dual bulk theor…
Dirichlet walls and the end of time
Hanako Helton, Gary T. Horowitz, Donald Marolf
We study evolution in Einstein-Hilbert gravity with Dirichlet boundary conditions imposed on a finite surface. We argue that there are open sets of initial data where such evolutio…
How to tame your (black hole) saddles: Lessons from the Lorentzian Gravitational Path Integral
Maciej Kolanowski, Donald Marolf
We resolve a puzzle associated with the spherically-symmetric sector of the AdS Einstein-Maxwell partition function with inverse temperature . Since charge is quantized, the…
Lorentzian Path Integrals and Jackiw-Teitelboim wormholes with imaginary scalars
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
The Lorentzian path integral was recently used to argue that standard Euclidean axion wormholes do not dominate computations of connected AdS/CFT partition functions. We now apply…
Axion Wormholes and the AdS/CFT Factorization Problem
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
This work investigates the relevance of Euclidean and complex axion wormholes to the AdS/CFT factorization problem. We use a framework that defines bulk gravitational path integral…
The JLMS formula in a large code with approximate error correction
Xi Dong, Donald Marolf, Pratik Rath
Gauge/gravity duality is often described as a quantum error correcting code. However, as seen in the Jafferis-Lewkowycz-Maldacena-Suh (JLMS) formula, exact quantum error correction…
