The fate of boundary terms in dimensional reductions
Robert J. Saskowski
Gibbons-Hawking-York (GHY) terms are typically neglected when performing dimensional reductions of gravitational theories. We consider the reduction of such terms for both two-deri…
Explorations in Precision Holography and Higher-derivative Supergravity
Robert J. Saskowski
This thesis explores topics related to the study of quantum gravity, with a focus on precision holography and higher-derivative supergravity. First, we study subleading corrections…
Explicit Entropic Proofs of Irreversibility Theorems for Holographic RG Flows
Evan Deddo, James T. Liu, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas +1
We revisit the existence of monotonic quantities along renormalization group flows using only the Null Energy Condition and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the entanglement entropy…
The Giant Graviton Expansion from Bubbling Geometry
Evan Deddo, James T. Liu, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas +1
The superconformal index of half-BPS states in supersymmetric Yang-Mills with gauge group admits an expansion in terms of giant gravitons, ${\cal I}_N(q)={\cal…
