Four-twist effects on excitations in symmetric orbifold CFTs
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton
Symmetric orbifold CFTs contain twist operators that can join and split copies of the CFT. In this paper, we study the effects of four twist-2 operators on two copies of a single f…

Four-twist effects and monodromy in symmetric orbifold CFTs
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton
Symmetric orbifold CFTs contain twist operators that can join and split copies of the CFT, leading to the creation of pairs from the vacuum. In this paper, we study the pair creati…

Inscribing geodesic circles on the face of the superstratum
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton, Nicholas P. Warner
We use families of circular null geodesics as probes of a family of microstate geometries, known as superstrata. These geometries carry a left-moving momentum wave and th…
