The Effects of Near-AdS Backreaction on Matter Fields

Alejandra Castro, Jildou Hollander, Pedro J. Martinez +1

We quantify how the two-point function of a real scalar field is affected by the distortion caused by deforming AdS to a near-AdS background. At tree-level, the backreactio…

Spoofing Entanglement in Holography

Netta Engelhardt, Åsmund Folkestad, Adam Levine +2

A defining property of Hawking radiation is that states with very low entanglement masquerade as highly mixed states; this property is captured by a quantum computational phenomeno…

Cryptographic Censorship

Netta Engelhardt, Åsmund Folkestad, Adam Levine +2

We formulate and take two large strides towards proving a quantum version of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. We first prove "Cryptographic Censorship": a theorem showing tha…

Quasi-local energy and microcanonical entropy in two-dimensional nearly de Sitter gravity

Andrew Svesko, Evita Verheijden, Erik P. Verlinde +1

We study the semi-classical thermodynamics of two-dimensional de Sitter space () in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity coupled to conformal matter. We extend the quasi-l…

Near-AdS Spectroscopy: classifying the spectrum of operators and interactions in 4D supergravity

Alejandra Castro, Evita Verheijden

We describe holographic properties of near-AdS spacetimes that arise within spherically symmetric configurations of 4D supergravity, for both gauged and u…

No Page Curves for the de Sitter Horizon

Joshua Kames-King, Evita Verheijden, Erik Verlinde

We investigate the fine-grained entropy of the de Sitter cosmological horizon. Starting from three-dimensional pure de Sitter space, we consider a partial reduction approach, which…

Rotating 5D Black Holes: Interactions and deformations near extremality

Alejandra Castro, Juan F. Pedraza, Chiara Toldo +1

We study a two-dimensional theory of gravity coupled to matter that is relevant to describe holographic properties of black holes with a single rotational parameter in five dimensi…

From the BTZ black hole to JT gravity: geometrizing the island

Evita Verheijden, Erik Verlinde

We study the evaporation of two-dimensional black holes in JT gravity from a three-dimensional point of view. A partial dimensional reduction of AdS in Poincaré coordinates lea…
