Pure gravity OPE density for genus-two handlebody in

Saptaswa Ghosh, Sounak Pal

In this work, we compute the operator product expansion density for the genus-two handlebody by exploiting its duality with extremal conformal field theories arXiv:0710.2129. Using…

Heterotic Footprints in Classical Gravity: PM dynamics from On-Shell soft amplitudes at one loop

Arpan Bhattacharyya, Saptaswa Ghosh, Ankit Mishra +1

We study classical scattering of charged black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) theory. Working in the classical (Post-Minkowskian) regime, we extract the conservative two-b…

Finite cutoff JT gravity: Baby universes, Matrix dual, and (Krylov) Complexity

Arpan Bhattacharyya, Saptaswa Ghosh, Sounak Pal +1

In this paper, as an application of the `Complexity = Volume' proposal, we calculate the growth of the interior of a black hole at late times for finite cutoff JT gravity. Due to t…
