Excitability of Gaussian states with VEVs
Jacqueline Caminiti, Federico Capeccia, Jonathan Sorce
In arXiv:2604.19861, we gave general criteria for when one zero-mean Gaussian state can be excited out of another in a (generalized) free field theory. Here we extend this analysis…
Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion
Jacqueline Caminiti, Aidan Herderschee
The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula receives significant corrections for charged black holes near extremality. Using standard results in JT gravity, the correction…
Excitability in quantum field theory
Jacqueline Caminiti, Federico Capeccia, Jonathan Sorce
In quantum field theory, it is not always possible to excite one state out of another using only local operators. This paper establishes abstract algebraic criteria for (local) exc…
The Geodesics Less Traveled: Nonminimal RT Surfaces and Holographic Scattering
Jacqueline Caminiti, Caroline Lima, Robert C. Myers
The connected wedge theorem states that in order to have a scattering process in the bulk, it is necessary to have mutual information between certain "decision" regions…
Geometric modular flows in 2d CFT and beyond
Jacqueline Caminiti, Federico Capeccia, Luca Ciambelli +1
We study geometric modular flows in two-dimensional conformal field theories. We explore which states exhibit a geometric modular flow with respect to a causally complete subregion…
