On the reconstruction map in JT gravity
Chris Akers, Andrew Lucas, Amit Vikram
An open question in AdS/CFT is how to reconstruct semiclassical bulk operators precisely enough that non-perturbative quantum effects can be computed. We propose a set of physicall…

Entropic Order
Yiqiu Han, Xiaoyang Huang, Zohar Komargodski +2
Ordered phases of matter, such as solids, ferromagnets, superfluids, or quantum topological order, typically only exist at low temperatures. Despite this conventional wisdom, we pr…

Breakdown of hydrodynamics in a Galilean quantum Hall crystal
Xiaoyang Huang, Andrew Lucas
We construct a nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamic effective field theory for Galilean-invariant quantum Hall systems with spontaneously broken translational symmetry. Neglecting th…
