New Modes for Vector Bosons in the Static Patch
Adel A. Rahman, Leonard Susskind
We consider a massive vector Boson in a static patch of -dimensional de Sitter space (dS). We argue that this field is controlled by an effective physical (squared) mass $μ_…
-Chords, Wee-Chords, and de Sitter Space
Adel A. Rahman, Leonard Susskind
One of us (L.S.) and H. Verlinde independently conjectured a holographic duality between the double-scaled SYK model at infinite temperature and dimensionally reduced -dimen…
Infinite Temperature is Not So Infinite: The Many Temperatures of de Sitter Space
Adel A. Rahman, Leonard Susskind
Several distinct concepts of temperature appear in the holographic description of de Sitter space. Conflating these has led to confusion and inconsistent claims. The double-scaled…
A covariant regulator for entanglement entropy: proofs of the Bekenstein bound and QNEC
Jonah Kudler-Flam, Samuel Leutheusser, Adel A. Rahman +2
While von Neumann entropies for subregions in quantum field theory universally contain ultraviolet divergences, differences between von Neumann entropies are finite and well-define…
Comments on a Paper by Narovlansky and Verlinde
Adel A Rahman, Leonard Susskind
The double-scaled infinite temperature limit of the SYK model has been conjectured by Rahman and Susskind (RS) [1, 2, 3, 4], and independently by Verlinde [5] to be dual to a certa…
