Twist operators and pseudo entropies in two-dimensional momentum space
Giancarlo Camilo, Andrea Prudenziati
We use a replica trick construction to propose a definition of branch-point twist operators in two dimensional momentum space and compute their two-point function. The result is th…
Geometry of Entanglement
Andrea Prudenziati
In the context of the surface-state correspondence we propose the geodesic curvature of a convex curve as a local measure of factorization of the dual CFT state. Its integral will…
Circuit Complexity of Knot States in Chern-Simons theory
Giancarlo Camilo, Dmitry Melnikov, Fábio Novaes +1
We compute an upper bound on the circuit complexity of quantum states in Chern-Simons theory corresponding to certain classes of knots. Specifically, we deal with states in th…
A geodesic Witten diagram description of holographic entanglement entropy and its quantum corrections
Andrea Prudenziati
We use the formalism of geodesic Witten diagrams to study the holographic realization of the conformal block expansion for entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals. The agree…
A perturbative expansion for entanglement entropy in string theory
Andrea Prudenziati
We derive a perturbative expansion for space time entanglement entropy in string theory by comparing replica trick constructions on the target space and on the worldsheet. Requirin…
Replica trick and string winding
Andrea Prudenziati, Diego Trancanelli
We apply the replica trick to compute the entropy of a cylinder amplitude in string theory. We focus on the contribution from non-perturbative winding modes and impose tadpole canc…
Strong subadditivity and holography
Andrea Prudenziati
We study in detail the relationship between strong subadditivity for a boundary field theory and energy conditions for its bulk dual in 2+1 dimensions. We provide a discussion of k…
A perturbative study on the analytic continuation for generalized gravitational entropy
Andrea Prudenziati
We study the analytic continuation used by Lewkowycz and Maldacena to prove the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for entanglement entropy, which is the holographic dual of the trace of the $…
Dynamics of Entanglement Entropy from Einstein Equation
Masahiro Nozaki, Tokiro Numasawa, Andrea Prudenziati +1
We study the dynamics of entanglement entropy for weakly excited states in conformal field theories by using the AdS/CFT. This is aimed at a first step to find a counterpart of Ein…
On recursion relations in topological string theory
Andrea Prudenziati
We discuss a link between the topological recursion relations derived algebraically by Witten and the holomorphic anomaly equation of Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa. This is…
Double genus expansion for general background
Andrea Prudenziati
We will show how the refined holomorphic anomaly equation obeyed by the Nekrasov partition function at generic values becomes compatible, in a certain two parameters expa…
Topics in Open Topological Strings
Andrea Prudenziati
This thesis is based on some selected topics in open topological string theory which I have worked on during my Ph.D. It comprises an introductory part where I have focused on the…
Taming open/closed string duality with a Losev trick
Giulio Bonelli, Andrea Prudenziati, Alessandro Tanzini
A target space string field theory formulation for open and closed B-model is provided by giving a Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization of the holomorphic Chern-Simons theory with off-s…
Decoupling A and B model in open string theory -- Topological adventures in the world of tadpoles
Giulio Bonelli, Andrea Prudenziati, Alessandro Tanzini +1
In this paper we analyze the problem of tadpole cancellation in open topological strings. We prove that the inclusion of unorientable worldsheet diagrams guarantees a consistent de…
