Krylov complexity and the growth of the black hole interior in 3D gravity

Arpan Bhattacharyya, Sounak Pal, Juan F. Pedraza

We investigate the growth of the black hole interior in three-dimensional gravity from the boundary theory. For the two-sided BTZ black hole, we propose a boundary reconstruction o…

Cosmological brick walls & quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

José M. Begines, Suman Das, Hyun-Sik Jeong +1

Originally proposed by 't Hooft, the brick wall model has recently reemerged as a useful framework for probing quantum aspects of horizon physics, particularly in the context of ho…

Lorentzian threads and nonlocal computation in holography

Elena Cáceres, Rafael Carrasco, Juan F. Pedraza

Recent advances in holography and quantum gravity have shown that CFTs with classical gravity duals can implement nonlocal quantum computation protocols that appear local from the…

Quantum censors: backreaction builds horizons

Antonia M. Frassino, Robie A. Hennigar, Juan F. Pedraza +1

Cosmic censorship posits spacetime singularities remain concealed behind event horizons, preserving the determinism of General Relativity. While quantum gravity is expected to reso…

The landscape of complexity measures in 2D gravity

Elena Cáceres, Rafael Carrasco, Vaishnavi Patil +2

We investigate the broad landscape of holographic complexity measures for theories dual to two-dimensional (2D) dilaton gravity. Previous studies have largely focused on the comple…

Quantum induced superradiance

Casey Cartwright, Umut Gürsoy, Juan F. Pedraza +1

Superradiance, the phenomenon enabling energy extraction through radiation amplification, is not universal to all black holes. We show that semi-classical backreaction can induce s…

Mixmasters in Wonderland: Chaotic dynamics from Carroll limits of gravity

Gerben Oling, Juan F. Pedraza

We demonstrate that the Carroll limit of general relativity coupled to matter captures the chaotic mixmaster dynamics of near-singularity limits. Zooming in on the behavior of gene…

Perturbing a quantum black hole

Casey Cartwright, Umut Gürsoy, Juan F. Pedraza +1

We analyze the analytic structure of correlators in the field theory dual to the quantum Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (qBTZ) black hole, a braneworld model incorporating exact backre…

Three-dimensional quantum black holes: a primer

Emanuele Panella, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko

We review constructions of three-dimensional `quantum' black holes. Such spacetimes arise via holographic braneworlds and are exact solutions to an induced higher-derivative theory…

Quantum inequalities for quantum black holes

Antonia M. Frassino, Robie A. Hennigar, Juan F. Pedraza +1

We formulate spacetime inequalities applicable to quantum-corrected black holes to all orders of backreaction in semiclassical gravity. Namely, we propose refined versions of the q…

Criticality and thermodynamic geometry of quantum BTZ black holes

Seyed Ali Hosseini Mansoori, Juan F. Pedraza, Morteza Rafiee

Within the framework of extended black hole thermodynamics, where the cosmological constant acts as the thermodynamic pressure and its conjugate as the thermodynamic volume, we ana…

Reentrant phase transitions of quantum black holes

Antonia M. Frassino, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +1

We show backreaction of quantum fields on black hole geometries can trigger new thermal phase transitions. Specifically, we study the phase behavior of the three-dimensional quantu…
